Year One (5/10)

The collaboration between Jack Black and Michael Cera is bound to happen. Sadly they brought nothing new to their characters. Black played his silly but optimistic alter ego, while Cera was the obedient but stubborn and pessimistic one.This must be the first time we have ever seen cavemen talked in the contemporary manner. The first half hour were filled with laughter as we were just got introduced to their world. But after that, things got a little tedious and familiar, and sometimes the silly just didn't do it anymore.But there were a lot of gags to keep the audience entertained. Some were laugh-out-loud funny while others were more of mild amusements. The story was the predictable kind and offered nothing new. There were also a lot of guest appearances to keep the entertainment level up, although none were more famous than the two leads.Most importantly I think is the lesson that everyone can learn from Black. He was the hero of the tale only because of his undying ability to always see the bright side of things and his will to never give up. That's how life should be led.
