Year one is the latest fingerprint of a Judd Apatow produced movie. Harold Ramis is directing and helped pen the script. The movie takes place in biblical times where Michael Cera (Superbad) and Jack Black are out casted from their village and wander through some important religious events. Some in Hollywood have said this is going to be a bit controversial and that is why it has been such a tight lipped project. The movie is due out in theaters June 19th.
Success: Apatow is producing with a capable comedic director in Ramis. Jack Black can be hilarious at times. The premise has been compared to Monty Python's Life of Brian which is a cult classic in terms of comedy. Always look on the bright side of life....
Failure: Black takes chances and often misses with roles. Michael Cera is tad overrated has a young actor even though his performance in Juno was commendable. If this movie hits too many religious marks it may get crucified along with its script.
Tomorrow: Revolutionary Road starring Leonardo Decaprio and the ever beautiful Kate Winslet.

I can't help but like Black hit or miss. Harold Ramis has been associated with some incredible, classic films. I hope this does well. However if even it's a terrible flop...I'll find something to enjoy about it.
I like Black too even in Nacho Libre, but I have to be honest when I say I hated him in King Kong and School of Rock.
i'll give you king kong. it was pretty painful. but my issues with that film go way beyond jacks performance.
'be kind rewind' however has become one of my favorite movies in recent years.
Be kind rewind is the dumbest movie ever made...flat out on the level of Regarding Henry
HAHAHA!
