What haven’t we already said about Harold Ramis’ biblical comedy, “Year One,” that stars Jack Black and Michel Cera as two inept hunter and gatherers exiled from their tribe in ancient times who then wander through the rough terrains of before-B.C. history together, all the while coming across many touchstone figures featured in that wacky book called the Bible.
The Trailer Addict synopsis adds: “Two friends (Black, Cera) will go on a journey to change the course of history and evolve into heroes,” and that’s essentially correct too, though perhaps a little overstated.
Produced by Judd Apatow, other appearances in the film include David Cross and Paul Rudd who play Cain and Abel and Hank Azaria as Abraham. Olivia Wilde, Juno Temple and June Diane Raphael also appear as the obligatory lovely lasses in various form of distress. Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (two key writers of “The Office”) penned the innocuous, but still amusing script.
It’s certainly not radically different, but if you’re highly anticipating this PG-13 film, i.e., potentially toothless compared to most Apatow films, but still retaining the decent probability of at least moderately goofy/fun laughs, here’s the international version of the trailer.
“Year One” opens on June 19.
