Year One

Rambling mishmash about a pair of cavemen who go on a journey after  being banished from their primitive village. Disorganized mess is a lazily written buddy film that lacks cohesion.  No plot, but more or less a series of tepid jokes united by biblical events.  Frequently wallows in disgusting gross out humor.  Makes director Mel Brooks’ similarly vulgar spoof History of the World, Part I seem like sophisticated satire by comparison.  Only actor Oliver Platt as a high priest manages to illicit a few chuckles.  Director Harold Ramis, who also co-wrote this dreck, hits rock bottom.  Desperate.
