"Year One" is the worst movie of the year, quite possibly the worst of all time, but I'm biased right now, as I saw the movie last night. It is simply a terrible movie. There's no pros to counterset the cons, as there are none.
The plot (if you can call it that) revolves around Michael Cera and Jack Black as midevil cavemen in (well I think that's pretty obvious) and something about getting involved with a Princess, some eunics, some orgy where Cera has to rub oil over a hairy eunic, and lots of jokes about castration (none of which are funny). Actually, the only thing that is funny about this movie is that it was made at all (and that apparently they thought it actually was). This is a grave disappointment for me, since it was from a good director (Ramis, who made the great Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters) and includes the talents of Jack Black and Michael Cera. But in here, the entire cast is wasted, even Olivia Wilde, who's great in "House".
"Year One" is worse than "Dance Flick" and "Paul Blart, Mall Cop", if you can believe that, and will probably retain that spot at the end of the year as well. Don't see it if they pay you to.
