Quickie: Matt's Year One Review

"Year One" was supposed to be a funny movie. It stars Jack Black, Michael Cera, David Cross, Hank Azaria, Oliver Platt, Paul Rudd and other famous funnymen. But it just didn't deliver. It's pretty dull and mostly misses its mark. They depended on general stupid jokes rather than period-specific comedy. I expected more from this Appatow co-production. Hank Azaria's scenes are what cracked me up the most, and Michael Cera was consistently funny throughout. Unless you're big fans of theirs, I say skip this one. I'm not going to even bother writing more than this if they're not going to take the time to make better movies.
