Laurel resting


67. "Year One"
Yes, I had low expectations from the film and nothing about the trailer made me want to see it, but I did anyways. I'm a sucker for big budget Hollywood comedies. They're like Halloween candy.

It is bad. There aren't any laugh out loud moments. The story is dumb (which is usually fine in comedies). I was questioning if Jack Black ever was funny. The talent of the actors was wasted. I didn't even smile when I noticed the "Arrested Development" reunion of Michael Cera and David Cross. Wasn't that a great show?

I wanted to like this film. I want to like everything Harold Ramis does. I can not. I don't know why I expect I'll like his work. I haven't since "Groundhog Day" in 1993. Wasn't that a great film?
