Year One
Starring: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Oliver Platt
Studio: Sony/ Columbia
Runtime: n/a
Rating: PG-13
Comedic actor Jack Black should be concerned. With the release of Will Ferrell’s high concept comedy, Land of the Lost, just weeks before Black’s own high concept comedy, Year One, Black and Sony execs were afforded an opportunity to gauge the viewing public’s appetite for such material. Land of the Lost tanked at the box office — and Year One will likely suffer the same fate. While Black and Cera are usually great in most of their roles, this concept is just too, well, stupid. Unless you’re high — and we don’t promote the use of drugs here —stay away from this film. –dewayne rogers
