Massawyrm says the score is officially YEAR ONE, Audience zero...

Damn, I was looking forward to this. That whole Old... by FlickaPoo	Jun 18th, 2009 10:02:32 AM

Year One Sucks by Series7	Jun 18th, 2009 10:03:35 AM
And today is Thursday. Tell me something I didn't already know.
Wholly Moses by Samuel Fulmer	Jun 18th, 2009 10:03:52 AM
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the commercials.
So...you'd recommend it then? by vadakinX	Jun 18th, 2009 10:04:01 AM
It's about time the world realised that Jack Black simply isn't funny.
And I say it again...very disappointing news. by FlickaPoo	Jun 18th, 2009 10:04:11 AM

Anyone else think by Series7	Jun 18th, 2009 10:05:47 AM
Lloyd Kaufman is like a bizzaro Mel Brooks? And that Egon needs to stop watching History of the World (or start).
FlickaPoo by Series7	Jun 18th, 2009 10:06:58 AM
Have you not seen the trailer?
Knew this movie was going to suck by SnowDogs	Jun 18th, 2009 10:07:18 AM
Massawyrm nailed my thoughts when I saw a commercial for this movie the other day. Especially with Michael Cera--does that guy do anything other than "Michael Cera?" He needs to go against type soon, and bad--his shtick is dead. There's no chance I'll see this movie. If I'm not going to see Land of the Lost, there's no way in hell I'm going to go see Year One!
What if you're intoxicated? Would it be any good if... by FlickaPoo	Jun 18th, 2009 10:08:07 AM
...you're intoxicated? Because that's its own special category and the normal rules don't apply...
Series7...don't know what to say, the trailer makes... by FlickaPoo	Jun 18th, 2009 10:10:33 AM
...me laugh. I grew up in a borderline fundamentalist family, so maybe ANYTHING that makes fun of the Bible makes me laugh.
Jack Black is the official definition of 'shit' by Hint_of_Smegma	Jun 18th, 2009 10:10:36 AM
Seriously, look it up in any dictionary printed since '97. There's simply a picture of his face next to the word. He is fucking awful in everything he's ever done, how does that hack get work? He's holding some seriously fucked up blackmail material on Hollywood honcho's, that's how. It's the only possible explanation.
Anyone remember "And God Spoke"? by chrth	Jun 18th, 2009 10:10:46 AM
That was pretty funny.
Are you really an actor when you only play yourself? by Darkartist	Jun 18th, 2009 10:11:20 AM
Micheal Cera is an overrated cunt. That is all.
Michael Cera needs to play an asshole. by rev_skarekroe	Jun 18th, 2009 10:11:50 AM
Like Topher Grace in "Traffic," where he played the college idiot who was a junkie for the sake of intellectual rebellion.
The trailer makes me wish by Series7	Jun 18th, 2009 10:12:38 AM
Egon would stop dicking around and spend more time working on Ghostbuster 3 and realize that he still could be king and doesn't have to be a bad Apatow.
FlickaPoo by Series7	Jun 18th, 2009 10:13:29 AM
Funny bible movie, Passion Of The Christ. HILARIOUS!!! Laugh Out Loud stuff.

nice review by Muki	Jun 18th, 2009 10:17:24 AM
but please tell us whether you liked it or not.
I liked The Love Guru by estacado1	Jun 18th, 2009 10:17:46 AM
Seriously, I feel that The Love Guru is Mike Myers' best work since Wayne's World. Most of the jokes in Love Guru were word play jokes. If you don't like word play, then there's not much to look for in the movie. In the Austin Powers series, he tends to overdo his jokes, it's like, yes, we get the joke already now lets move on to the next thing, but he keeps banging the joke onto our heads until the joke loses its funniness. In The Love Guru, Myers manages to remedy this mistake and found the right balance of when to move on to the next joke.
Estacado, what is this?, Holy confession?... by FlickaPoo	Jun 18th, 2009 10:22:40 AM
...say 257 Our Father's and don't touch yourself any more.
I always thought Jack Black kind of sucked. by wowsucks	Jun 18th, 2009 10:23:37 AM
Jack Black has been over rated for a long time now, time for him to reinvent or step aside for a while.
This comes as a complete surpise by Mr.FTW	Jun 18th, 2009 10:28:50 AM
Oh wait, no it doesn't. I could have give the same review based solely on the trailers.
i like spoons by thinboyslim.	Jun 18th, 2009 10:30:58 AM
i really hope this doesn't impact on Scott Pilgrim coz that is shaping up nice and if people hated cera before this they may not bother with pilgrim at all.
From the trailers this looked AWFUL by SmokingRobot	Jun 18th, 2009 10:32:16 AM
Who would be interested in seeing this? Jack Black is the new Wil Ferrel. Why do these insanely incompetent jerks get to keep making movies?
Massa by Flying Spaghetti Monster	Jun 18th, 2009 10:33:30 AM

Sounds bad, but I still wanna see it by OGoncho	Jun 18th, 2009 10:34:36 AM

The Love Guru Was All Right by kevinwillis.net	Jun 18th, 2009 10:35:27 AM
Meh. Not a travesty, just "meh". This looks pretty "meh", too.
10,000 BC was unintentionally funny by Big Jim	Jun 18th, 2009 10:37:47 AM
This, however, does not seem funny, even though I believe that is its intent. Still, I have to think it is above and beyond anything excreted by the Disaster Movie guys. Say, it's been almost a year since their last bowel movement. Did they not make enough money after their last one to afford enough Ex-Lax needed to produce an anal discharge that is on par with their previous creations? Or are they mercifully constipated?
Jack Black DOES suck by spidercoz	Jun 18th, 2009 10:38:00 AM
always has, pull the wool from your eyes, sheeple
I knew this was pure shit from the trailer... by Kenshiro_187	Jun 18th, 2009 10:38:25 AM
Had the samething going on for four jokes, Jack Black does his shit, then Cera makes a nerdy comment. Repeat.
Saw it last night by wookie1972	Jun 18th, 2009 10:39:36 AM
And It wasn't horrible. A few decent laughs, nothing cringe worthy in the way Myers has been lately. Basically, it was a sitcom/variety show sketch stretched to 90 minutes. Ramis is one of the most inconsistent directors around - yeah, he did Caddyshack and Groundhog Day, but he also did Bedazzled and the Analyse... movies. So yeah, Massawyrm is basically right, but I'm not sure the movie deserves a whole lot of venom. Lots of worse things out there.
The ads were not funny either. by Knobules	Jun 18th, 2009 10:40:17 AM
If that was supposed to hook me in it didnt work. Sick of Jack Black but Cera might still survive this.
It Baffles Me... by buster00	Jun 18th, 2009 10:43:24 AM
...that Harold Ramis was even anywhere within five miles of this disaster. And that it's probably going to make a few dollars just because the only other major film opening this weekend is "The Proposal," which looks equally stupid.
Fuck this movie, I wont even download this shit! Darkartist by Kenshiro_187	Jun 18th, 2009 10:44:09 AM
I agree with you 100% Cera, Black, and Shia LaDickhead are all krusty-cunts.
If you think Jack Blacks schtick can't be funny by BoStrike1	Jun 18th, 2009 10:45:44 AM
Then do yourself a favor a watch the ORIGINAL Tenacious D episodes from HBO. The movie was a monstrosity that had little to nothing to do with what rocked about that show, so don't judge based on that pos. That show was comedy gold and JB has been riding on the poential he showed back then ever since.
I'll rent anything with Paul Rudd. by beastie	Jun 18th, 2009 10:46:30 AM
The smirk that guy gives can make unfunny lines complete comedy.
but it's Massawyrm by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 18th, 2009 10:47:30 AM
saying "I strongly recommend giving this one a pass at your earliest opportunity" to me is like untrustworthy motherfuckers saying "trust me". Massawyrm, you 'really enjoyed' T4. You rocked out with rocknrolla and you got gleeful boy goo all over fast and furious. I don't trust you.
Ugh... by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead	Jun 18th, 2009 10:48:10 AM
I'd rather see a movie with PaulRudd just showing off that scene from Mac and Me over and over like he does on....Conan? I dunno, didn't really have much hope for this one anyway. But for all of those who like to watch Jack Black lick his fingers and do his litle hand dance over and over and over again, all those worst fears may be coming true. Yahoo reported yesterday that Black is probably going to be one of the young Ghostbusters in the new movie. Ugh.,.
so the summer of shit continues by animas	Jun 18th, 2009 10:48:18 AM

The trailer was awful times a hundred. by Kid Idioteque	Jun 18th, 2009 10:49:26 AM
And I consider myself a Jack Black fan. But Michael Cera gets more annoying with each role he takes. I will see this, if only so I can call it the worst movie of the summer.

Jack Black is officially hot garbage. by Stuntcock Mike	Jun 18th, 2009 10:53:35 AM

The trailer was fuck'n funny. So does that mean... by Sappers Forward	Jun 18th, 2009 10:57:21 AM
The movie is fuck'n funny and you just really don't like Jack Black for some reason? Your review is reason enough to see this stupid flick...thank you!
Massawyrm, your picture is quite offensive by GunterMonkey	Jun 18th, 2009 10:58:04 AM
Is there really a need to profane people's faith here? Really? Come on, man....
Wholy Moses was good by Eyegore	Jun 18th, 2009 11:00:54 AM
I saw it when it came out. Of course I was 12 years old, so that might have something to do with my enjoyment of it. Kinda like Flash Gordon (the movie with the queen soundtrack, not the TV show).
^^ agreed by JAMF	Jun 18th, 2009 11:02:33 AM
tenacious d the band and the tv series (check out the extras on the dvds too) are great. school of rock was cool and uh... well he hasnt really been in anything else good. but i'd say thats more about his choices than his 'talent'

That review was probably infinitely by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester	Jun 18th, 2009 11:15:41 AM
funnier than the actual movie. Can't stand Jack Black, don't care for Michael Cena, and wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot club...

Did people not like Tropic Thunder? by T-RACE	Jun 18th, 2009 11:24:31 AM
Because last I remember Jack Black was in that, and his performance garnered quite a few laughs. Granted Downey stole the movie, but I thought Black put in a solid performance.
Well... by panicdawg	Jun 18th, 2009 11:27:57 AM
... i didn't expect much and ended up enjoying it. I mean, it's a terrible movie, don't get me wrong, but it's quite obvious that it was everything but a "serious" film. A lot of reaction shots and such certainly elicited laughter, and there were a few really fantastic lines. It wasn't a total waste to me.

..and dump on people who exercised their constitutional right to vote on an issue that changes the definition of a tradition and sacrement that helped build modern civilization. Then he'd have TWO crap movies in a row. One more and he'll join Paul Reubens and pleasure himself in skanky porn theaters. (Or they can pleasure each other, since Jack is such a supporter of that).

I COULDNT SEE THIS ONE COMING. by uberman	Jun 18th, 2009 11:55:56 AM
After all, those trailors loo sooo promising. How does this stuff get greenlite? Anybody with a movie IQ above 3 could tell that this was crap, yet they make it anyway. I guess the point here is that the execs who push this stuff through have a movie IQ below 3. Sad. It's like hiring recording industry agents who are deaf...oopps, I guess thats already being done.
Doesn't surprise me... by Thrillho77	Jun 18th, 2009 11:56:48 AM
Walking around NYC and seeing this poster all over this past week - the only thing I could think was, "They've been photoshopping Jack Black and Michael Cera's SAME face from ONE picture onto the poster for every movie they've been in lately." You've got Jack Black with some wacky and devilishly expressive eyebrow pose and Michael Cera looking like he's nervously surprised to be having his picture taken. I swear this is the same crap over and over.

SAVE OUR BLUTHS! by Crow3711	Jun 18th, 2009 12:21:48 PM
If Cera Wants His Schtick to Work He needs to get back to doing George Michael and rock it in the Arrested Development movie already. Only place that character is awesome enough to actually be hilarious. Otherwise, its just old. He needs to find a new game out of George Michael Bluth.
Things I learned from the trailer/Cain Abel scene: by monolithik	Jun 18th, 2009 12:34:58 PM
I agree with whomever said it was one drawn-out sketch. It actually looks like several sketches just thrown together into a "comedy" made only to satisfy the biblical wet dreams of one aging, God-riddled hack director, full of old Jewish shtick that induced groans back in the early days of Vaudeville.
Currently 26% at Rotten Tomatoes... by buster00	Jun 18th, 2009 12:36:17 PM
out of 19 reviews so far. I happen to think Jack Black is funny, I like Cera even though he keeps playing the same character, and the trailers for "Year One" look like shitty pants.
Michael Cera can share my cellblock anytime. by cookylamoo	Jun 18th, 2009 12:38:20 PM
As long as he wears that sexy blonde wig.
As far as the "directing"... by monolithik	Jun 18th, 2009 12:42:33 PM
It looks full of "Here's the setup, and you guys are funny, just say something funny and look goofy for the camera!" Yeah, I know -- but Ramis did this, and Ramis made that! Sure, he's had his moments, but... some people are solid gold, while some are just gold-plated, if you know what I mean. This just looks completely phoned-in. I mean, "Your name is suck"...? Really? That's your best punchline for selling this movie?
Someone really eats poo in this? by CherryValance	Jun 18th, 2009 12:47:09 PM
has a Salo flashback I don't want to watch that. The thing is that old Mel Brooks movie isn't to my liking either. I know it's supposed to be a classic but my funny bone doesn't respond to Mel Brooks type humor. So the fact that it looked like that's where they were going with this didn't really get me enthused. I was going because of Cera. I dunno know now. I swore off of poo eating movies.

The middle ages aren't funny, the bible isn't funny. Black and Cera can work well but only if they have decent material to start with. Remember looking at the full cast listing and thinking it might be halfway worth watching, but the trailer was all kinds of awful. Pass.

On a non-related JB note...Be Kind Rewind by pinkfloyd2000	Jun 18th, 2009 01:44:28 PM
Just saw the film "Be Kind Rewind" the other day. Wow. What a fucking disappointment. This movie could have been REALLY GOOD had they stuck with the remaking of movies segments. For example, the 5 minute "Ghostbusters" segment was gold. A+ stuff. Christmas garland as the proton beams? I was rolling. And then...well...the film I think tried to go (1) artsy, and (2) sappy. They absolutely DID NOT NEED the entire storyline about the old jazz musician -- this became the primary plot of the movie. It makes the first 5-10 minutes of this film virtually unwatchable. An EXTREMELY dull opening; I almost turned the movie off right then and there. I'm glad I didn't, if only for the "Ghostbusters" and "Rush Hour II" segments, but those were small pleasures in an otherwise very painful film to sit through. This movie teased the shit out of us the rest of the way, as it only showed very small snippets of other films being remade ("2001" being one of them), as it scrolled a cocktease list of all the films they were doing that we couldn't be allowed to see. Notably, one of those films was "Gummo." I shit you not. Fucking "Gummo." While I think that movie was disturbingly awful, if this film would have had any balls at all, it would have shown THAT making-of segment. Maybe Jack Black in a dirty bathtub eating spaghetti with a piece of bacon taped to the wall in the background.(Yeah...if you haven't seen "Gummo," well...it's pretty fucked up.). There was a very good, if not great, film lying here, somewhere...but they fucked it all up.

The movie hit a wall with the goddamned jazz subplot, and just dribbled down said wall to a squelchy, shitty pile that was the ending. And ending where the filmmakers couldn't even bother to actually end anything. They just kinda...stopped.

Praise for JB by rsdrum	Jun 18th, 2009 04:29:15 PM
Jack Black has done a lot of great work. Alot of the stuff he's done for Channel 101 is comedy gold. I still love Tenacious D even though I wasn't a huge fan of the movie. And he's had more hits than flopperoos so far. Too bad Year One is not a comedy juggernaut, but that won't be enough to get me to say that Jack Black is not one talented dude. Because he is. Muscle tribe of Strength and Excellence!

I've only seen him getting cast in comedy roles but is that because he is a professional funnyman and this is all he wants to do or is it because he's typecast or something? He seems like he's longing for some Woody Allen dialogue. If he is a professional funnyman I'll give him credit for not basing his schtick around infantile wailing or throwing himself at shit.
Was it better than Caveman with Ringo Star? by Brannagins Law	Jun 18th, 2009 06:08:40 PM

Michael Cera.... by pdennett316	Jun 18th, 2009 06:47:49 PM
I first saw him in Arrested Development, and he was good...not great. Since then I've seen Superbad and the last half of Juno, and it's clear the little fucker is completely one note, he is the EXACT same character in each of the 3. Is he lazy, or just no good at leaving his comfort zone? His act was tired half an hour into Superbad, and I'm glad I've seen nothing else with his bland, unfunny ass attached. As someone else said, the trailer didn't make me even smirk accidentally, the movie just looks hugely unfunny. The Hangover trailer had numerous funny moments culminating in Tyson riffing on Phil Collins and punching a guy out...you know, something to entice you to watch. Year One looks terrible if it's best moments were in the trailer like many trailers are now.

Michael Cera should appear in one last movie.... by WillFerret	Jun 18th, 2009 08:44:10 PM
The Arrested Development movie. And that's it fucker, Hollywood has no more roles for you. You are banned!
Massa liked Rocknrolla? by Lazslo_Toth	Jun 18th, 2009 08:51:00 PM
Rocknrolla was good.
Michael Cera needs to do something dramatic. by Johnny Smith	Jun 18th, 2009 09:08:24 PM
I'd piss myself if I saw him play an Ed Gein or Charles Manson type. You all know you would, too. And let me add myself to the chorus of people saying Jack Black blows.
Michael Cera was awesome in "Kitty Cat Man." by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Jun 18th, 2009 09:45:01 PM

Re. The avatar - Massa is a christian by TELF	Jun 18th, 2009 10:59:21 PM
But like a totally badass one. He smokes and swears and almost busts his friends jaws, honest. Sometimes he wears a trenchcoat and a, get this, backwards baseball cap. So don't be mad sensitive christian lambs, he is one of yours.
Massa is a Christian? by ColinSL	Jun 18th, 2009 11:24:59 PM
It seems like a really unfunny joke to try and stir up Christians. Like Rock DJ unfunny...
Sad to see the reviews by JoeSixPack	Jun 19th, 2009 12:36:08 AM
Been looking forward to this. The trailers look funny, the stars and director are there. Damn.
Oh, and HotWPI wasn't that good by JoeSixPack	Jun 19th, 2009 12:38:10 AM
Compared to most other Brooks comedies. This must be really bad.
Cera hate is funny by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 19th, 2009 01:44:12 AM
Of all the people to hate on haha the dude has only been in a handful of films so far and seems one of the most down to earth people in hollywood. You little jealous pricks make me laugh.
what a disapointment by The Amazing G	Jun 19th, 2009 02:25:16 AM
I remember when I first read about this movie I thought it sounded great, but the trailer doesn't make it look like anything more than a rainy day rental at best, I like the Tenacious D movie though, blow me
Not surprising by MorganLeafy	Jun 19th, 2009 02:55:12 AM
The trailer looked painfully unfunny. I’ll just wait for Brüno to fuck my funny-bone. Mmmmm, that doesn’t sound so good, now does it…..
MICHAEL CERA!!! by ducKy72	Jun 19th, 2009 04:37:21 AM
Michael Cera will redeem himself in Scott Pilgrim. Fo sho, if the production pics are anything to go by, that movie is gonna kick all sorts of ass.
Be Kind Rewind/Fats Waller by seppukudkurosawa	Jun 19th, 2009 06:14:11 AM
Shame on you ingrates for not knowing who Fats Waller is. Possibly the best thing to come out of the otherwise pretty dry '50s music scene.
I was really looking forward to this. by Darkman	Jun 19th, 2009 07:50:15 AM
Still am, in fact. After last week's inexplicably positive review of PELHAM, why should I take you seriously?
Fats... by pinkfloyd2000	Jun 19th, 2009 07:50:19 AM
Yeah...he was a real jazz musician...but I think his music predated the 1950s by just a tad, seeing as though he died in 1943. The point is that he didn't belong in this movie. Perhaps in a separate bio pic -- but not this one.
I LIKE JACK BLACK A LOT by AyatollahSexyBack	Jun 19th, 2009 08:06:55 AM
Esp in School House Rock. This is very disappointing. He needs to stick with kids movies.
Michael Cera must have stopped taking roids by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jun 19th, 2009 08:22:35 AM
Oh wait, that's Michael Cena. Who is Michael Cera anyway. I never heard of him because I like to avoid crap. The funny thing is Black could do a lot better if he did more drama. As an ensemble member of The Holiday he actually impressed me. His movies are just like Will Farrel's, they're all the same, or he plays the same guy anyway.
How is it compared to, say... by Big_Daddy_Nero	Jun 19th, 2009 08:27:05 AM
Corky Romano? Or Zoolander? or Nothing But Trouble? Rat Race? Sgt. Bilko (Steve Martin)? The trailers seem to me to be putting it about on par with those movies, which are fluffy little amusing diversions, and not really to be taken in the context of 'This Year's SUMMER MOVIES OF GREATNESS OR SHAME', but instead just amusing diversions to occasionally pop into a dvd player or catch bits of on cable from time to time. If it is like those movies, then I am actually ok with it, and we need a continuing stream of movies like that to act as the filler between our SERIOUS FILM FARE. They don't all have to be great.
Rat Race wasn't bad by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jun 19th, 2009 08:29:44 AM
It was worth watching once. Sure it's a remake with a different title. I think without John Cleese as the mastermind of the game it would have been unwatchable. Kathy Bates tries to kill Whoopi Goldberg, so bonus points there.
Middle ages and Bible by Melnick666	Jun 19th, 2009 09:06:04 AM
Someone up there said the middle ages weren't funny and neither was the bible. I guess they haven't seen the Holy Grail or Life of Brian.
i'd like to see how big you are without that whip... by bluetunehead	Jun 19th, 2009 09:58:08 AM
...same basic size. i laughed at that in the trailers, but i agree that cera's thing is getting old. he really needs to play someone other than himself and fast.
CUbANKeV, Olivia Wilde does get naked in Alpha Dog by Big Jim	Jun 19th, 2009 11:38:37 AM

"Oh well. Life goes on." by Big Jim	Jun 19th, 2009 11:40:20 AM
Sorry, Harold-Sherbort, but Life does not go on; NBC cancelled it.
I saw this. by Harry Weinstein	Jun 19th, 2009 01:32:59 PM
It's lousy and it goes on forever. I laughed four times tops, which works out to around twice an hour, making this less entertaining than your average infomercial.
Addendum: by Harry Weinstein	Jun 19th, 2009 01:37:57 PM
A: To even compare this to ZOOLANDER is an insult to the good name of ZOOLANDER. B:Never mind the bizarre INDY 4-esque free pass that this site gave to the horrendous PELHAM 123 - he's right on the money, YEAR ONE is crap. Better than PELHAM, but still crap.
FeralAngel by frozen01	Jun 19th, 2009 02:01:42 PM
Slavery and the oppression of women also built modern society, and you don't see many people defending those concepts. Besides, why do you assume that "changing the definition" of something to be more inclusive will automatically destroy it? Loving v. Virginia was opposed in a very similar manner and that worked out pretty well for the American ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We don't consider polygamy to be a valid form of marriage anymore, unlike they did in the Old Testament... that seems like a change in definition that worked pretty well, too.

So your OK with mediocrity and you admit it. Brave! Stupid, but brave.
Sad by CuervoJones	Jun 30th, 2009 03:55:03 AM
Ramis used to be great. Gorundhog Day is a classic.
