Year One
Jack Black and Michael Cera play what looks like cavemen at the beginning of the movie but somehow becomes Roman times later in the movie. Maybe that’s the way it worked – caveman over here, but roman gladiators in a different part of the world.
Regardless, that’s pointless, because it’s just a comedy movie and I don’t think it has to be historically correct.
I found it amusing. I especially like the deadpan lines that Michael Cera brought to the film. I think a lot could be missed if not listening carefully, although predictable and sometimes stupid but not stupid enough to be considered ‘Naked Gun’ stupid.
My favourite part had to do with Cain and Abel, seen in the clip below, but that was a very short part of the movie. I’d recommend it as a grin inducing litte time-waster.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Overall, the movie wasn’t that bad. But the scene where Cera is rubbing oil over the hairy guy, just makes me cringe.
The Cain & Abel bit was my favorite part of the film as well
