So while everyone is hyped up on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen I actually got some time to checkout "Year One" starring Michael Cera and Jack Black. The premise is very simple, two cave men travel around the Earth to see what it offers in the year one B.C. The movie was surprisingly biblical, the director and writers definitely had some religious knowledge. Cera and Black went to the tree of knowledge, met up with Cain and Abel, and even met up with father and son Abraham and Isaac. There is definitely a history lesson hidden in this movie but if you are not much of a religious person or don't know this figures and places, don't worry the movie is funny as is. Jack Black is outrageous as ever and for once it works out perfectly, I guess a caveman is the perfect character for him. Michael Cera had me rolling to, he continues to do what he's been doing from his breakout movie "Superbad," being the smart allicky, sarcastic, timid and shy guy. Both Black and Cera together is a great match up, they played off each other very well. If you're looking for a really good laugh go see "Year One," you won't be disappointed. I give "Year One" 5 out of 5 *'s. <('.'<)
