I love this movie for the great one liners and the contrast of Jack Black's over the top nature to Michael Cerra's dead pan delivery. Not every part of a comedy has to be perfectly scripted and Year One does a good enough job with the in-betweeners to forward the movie along with the same tone as the main characters

Honestly, it tried waaay too hard to be raunchy and dirty every single second. A good raunchy/dirty comedy always grows from a solid and simple plot, with established characters. Think of Caddyshack, Blazing Saddles, Superbad, 22 Jump Street

Ive watched this movie countless times and still makes me laugh. Its comedic genius. Its humor is subtle and each character brings their own comedic style to the table rather than cookie-cutter imitations of each other. One of my favorite comedies.

The only thing I remember about this movie was one of the strangest marketing attempts aimed at a niche audience; way back in the day, I used to frequent Gaia Online, which was an anime-themed forum website that had a focus on making custom avatars with cool accessories and whatnot. One day, when this movie was coming out, they sent users on the site an ad to try and get folks to get excited for this funny new movie, and they made a unique set of ancient armor that matched what characters would wear in the film. It was such a strange attempt to draw attention from a userbase largely made of teens who liked anime, but at least the ad provided a plain-looking sword to contrast a lot of the over-designed weapons the site was littered with, which is honestly why I remember it at all.

Oh GOD! While I want him to cover it, as I'm FAAAAAR too lazy to bother making a review channel to hack that one to ribbons and would love to see someone else do the heavy lifting, I simultaneously don't want him to be subject to that depressing sack of garbage. It's a crappy Naked Gun cash-in that's by far the WORST of the Jay Ward movies. Worse than Dudley Do-Right. And the sad thing is that it had some great SCTV talent behind it. But as a dyed in the wool Bullwinkle fan, I felt personally insulted by how freaking idiotic the film was. And how they deal with the live action version of Rocky and Bullwinkle in that film... shudder... you'd think Andrea Martin as Rocky would be fun, but it isn't. Not at ALL. I mean, the actual Rocky and Bullwinkle has problems, mainly with the pointless Mary Sue they shoved in, but at least there was a respect for the source material.
