Year One

Stone Age ne'er-do-wells, expelled from their clan for sloth and mischief, set out into a wilderness teeming with wonders and terrors. Combining absurdist humor with prehistoric spectacle, "Year One" charts the improbable odyssey of Jack Black and Michael Cera as they confront the rudiments of civilization. A ribald, irreverent satire that skewers contemporary culture through the lens of a bygone era, the film transforms its biblical inspirations into a bracingly funny, if predictably juvenile, critique of modernity's pitfalls.
