Best Mood to Walk In With: Silly, ready to laugh at crude jokes
Don't See This Movie If: You are looking for an elevated type of humor
Year One is a movie that sells you exactly what it advertises. If you've seen the trailer, you know what to expect. Also, if you've seen any other Jack Black or Michael Cera movie, you are already acquainted with the two main characters.
Per normal, Black plays an over the top, crude character that probably doesn't weigh in heavily on the IQ scale. If you like his normal schtick, you will probably get a few laughs, unless you are tired of his recycled material. Michael Cera also stays true to the character that has led to his rise to fame and plays an awkwardly adorable, not-so-confident guy with a crush on a cute girl. There is not much else in terms of star power, other than when Oliver Platt makes a surprisingly gross and slightly offensive appearance in the movie and Paul Rudd's too brief walk on. Like all Black/Cera movies, the theme of Year One is how the characters come into their own.

All in all, if you're looking for a guy-oriented comedy, see The Hangover instead. This is more of a dollar theater or Netflix type flick.
