Synopsis
History was made...by these guys? Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera) are cavemen who stumble out of the mountains into an epic journey of biblical proportions. One's a bumbling hunter, the other's a gentle gatherer; together, they become unlikely participants in history's most pivotal moments. Directed and co-written by comedy legend Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Analyze This), Year One is rude, crude, wildly absurd, deliciously tasteless and laugh-out-loud funny!

Year One was written by Harold Ramis and the writing team of Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg (upcoming Ghostbusters 3, TV's The Office). It was produced by Harold Ramis, Judd Apatow (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Knocked Up) and Clayton Townsend (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Knocked Up). Its cast also features Olivia Wilde (TV's House M.D.) and Vinnie Jones (X Men: The Last Stand). It was released by Columbia Pictures. The theatrical edition has a run time of approximately ninety seven minutes and has been rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, brief strong language and comic violence. The unrated edition has a run time of 100 minutes.
