Discussion I appreciate Year One (2009) after watching it again

Recent comedies I’ve seen have been dull for me, so I’ve been watching some older films. While going through my collection I came across Year One. I only watched it once and don’t remember what I thought of it, but after watching it again (unrated version), I was laughing so much.

Oliver Platt killed it. I couldn’t stop laughing at the oil scene. Jack and Michael were good as the buddy duo. A talented cast delivering it on dialogue and action.

It reminded me of Brooks’ HOTWP1. Ramis’ last film might be a sleeper comedy in the future.
