Jack Black and Michael Cera from Year One in front of a glimmering sky and clouds
The Big Picture Writer, actor and director Harold Ramis was a screen comedy legend, known for '80s and '90s comedy staples like Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day respectively. In the late 2010s, however, the world of movie comedy changed drastically, in no small part due to the success of heavily improvised "frat pack" movies by Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen.
Year One PG-13AdventureComedy In a comedic twist on ancient times, two lazy hunter-gatherers are banished from their primitive village, leading them on an improbable journey through the ancient world. Their bumbling adventure brings them into contact with biblical characters, inadvertently altering the course of history.
Frat-pack icon Jack Black stars alongside Superbad's Michael Cera, as two hunter-gatherers shunned from their tribe, who find themselves Forrest Gump-ing through the events of The Book of Genesis. The odd-couple provides the film with fantastic chemistry, and is actually one of the film's highlights, even if they're rarely given scenes just as a twosome.
It's also hard to ignore the strange difference between various characters' performance styles in Year One. For example, as the protagonists, and therefore the audience's window into the world, Zed and Oh speak and act like normal contemporary people. This works well as they become the fish-out-of-water in the world of Sodom.
