So, imagine this: Nacho Libre and George Michael Bluth wandering through biblical times. Sounds like a fever dream, right? That’s basically what you’re getting with Year One, opening June 19th. I can only imagine how that pitch meeting went down. If I could just have that bag of magic mushrooms back, Harold Ramis, we could get on with your next idea.

This movie is about two hunter-gatherers who get exiled from their village and find themselves stumbling through ancient times. As Jack Black puts it, it’s “a biblical comedy about the Old Testament told through Agnostic eyes.”

And, honestly, it’s shaping up to be pretty amazing. Directed by Harold Ramis (yessss, Caddyshack) and co-written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (the brains behind The Office). Judd Apatow’s producing. And let’s not forget the star-studded lineup: David Cross, Paul Rudd, Oliver Platt, Vinnie Jones, Hank Azaria and McLovin’ himself. Oh, and did I mention Jack Black and Michael Cera?

I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. But after some thorough research (and watching the trailer six times in a row), I’m all in. Maybe even twice. Check out the trailer. Get on board, or get left behind.

  1. Oooh, I toss and turn and toss and turn over this one. The ingredients are all there: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Apatow & Company, and I love the premise, but I’m a bit wary of the director choice. Harold Ramis can be a solid comedic director, but his track record’s looking a bit shaky. His last three flicks were “The Ice Harvest”, “Analyze That”, and “Bedazzled”. I just hope we’re getting “Groundhog Day” Harold Ramis and not “Stuart Saves His Family” Harold Ramis.
