When Zed and Oh (Black and Cera) are banished from the community for being bone idle, they set off an incredible journey through the primitive world.

Includes Audio Description

• Black and Cera have something else in common: They are both very skilled, very precise comedians. In the case of Black, this is well known, and in the case of Cera, it's no surprise, considering his performance in 'Superbad'. Still, it's a striking thing to find a 21-year-old actor with such self-assurance, such innate timing and such a thorough understanding of himself as a screen entity ^...]'Year One' ^...] it's always lively. After 30 years of writing and sometimes directing some very fine comedies ('Groundhog Day', 'Analyze This', 'Caddyshack', 'Ghostbusters', 'Animal House', 'Stripes'), Ramis knows exactly what it takes to hold an audience's attention in comedy. Every character is made vivid and absurd - San Francisco Chronicle
• An enjoyably dumb comedy ^...] The film is blessed by its lead actors. Jack Black, playing an inept boar hunter, continues to draw dividends from his crazy-eyed-visionary thing, while his character's buddy, Oh, flourishes in Cera's neuroticism. - Time Out New York
