Year One - I was hoping to get a few laughs from this but I struggled to watch the whole movie, Jack Black and Michael Cera playing themselves just didn’t work at all.. It worked in Superbad for Michael playing a high school student and Jack Black in School of Rock playing a crazy over the top musician but it just didn’t work for a movie based around the cave-man era., I don’t know how else to explain it… It was just bad!
I agree for the most part. I got pretty much what I expected after I saw the trailers, but it was still disappointing that Harold Ramis directed it (although I did enjoy some of Michael Cera's lines). And come on, you put Paul Rudd in a movie and only use him for like 30 seconds? Ridiculous...
Hmm, I'm not really sure where all The Happening hate comes from. I agree, it's not a good movie. Considering how good I
know that M. Night, Mark Wahlberg, and Zooey Deschanel can be, it definitely
should have been a lot better; but I think it's still fairly entertaining, especially if you can get into the weird B-movie atmosphere.
Also, saw Transformers 2. It's enjoyable, the two idiot ghetto Autobots notwithstanding.
