Harold Ramis Takes Us Back to Year One

Jack Black and Michael Cera star in this hilarious look at life in the early days of existence
Year One is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on October 6th. This hilarious new comedy was directed by the legendary Harold Ramis, a man responsible for such epic box office hits as Caddyshack, Vacation, and Groundhog Day. He's also an established comedic actor, appearing in such 80s mainstays as Stripes and Ghostbusters, not to mention the recent Judd Apatow film Knocked Up. This past year, he teamed once again with Apatow to direct Year One, which stars Jack Black and Michael Cera as a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers who are banished from their primitive village. The two comedians set off on an epic journey through the ancient world of biblical times hoping to save two women they wish to "lay with". It's a very funny adventure that is sure to be a cult hit on DVD. »
This Year One Review Doesn’t Bode Well For Ghostbusters 3
21 June 2009 8:33 AM, PDT | Filmonic.com | See recent Filmonic news »
Year One is the newest movie directed by Harold Ramis, who comedy lovers (and, hell, just about anyone) probably know as the director of Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Multiplicity, Bedazzled, Analyze That and under-watched character film, The Ice Harvest. Ramis isn’t too shabby at coming up with compelling comedy scripts either, with writing credits on Animal [...] »

In A Time Before ‘Year One’: Harold Ramis, The Director
19 June 2009 1:26 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
by John Constantine
Directing comedy is as delicate as writing it. You need to ease your performers into exactly the right rhythm, get them to react to each other just so. Otherwise your movie won’t be funny. It’ll just be ridiculous. Chemistry and timing are key.
That’s the reason you see so many comedy creators directing, writing and starring in their own work. It means complete control over the act, ensuring maximum hilarity. Harold Ramis has certainly written and/or performed in far more than he’s directed, but the former (soon-to-be current!) ghostbuster has nonetheless shouldered plenty of directing gigs. In honor of his latest stint as the helmer of “Year One,” I give you five classic chestnuts from his ever-growing catalog.
“Caddyshack” (1980)
Ramis’ directorial debut was easier than it was for some artists. He was surrounded by experienced, enormously talented performers — not to mention his »

Movie Review: “Year One”
19 June 2009 12:06 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Seen on: June 17, 2009
The players: Director: Harold Ramis, Writers: Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg, Harold Ramis, Cast: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Oliver Platt, David Cross, Hank Azaria
Facts of interest: Ramis also directed "The Ice Harvest," "Groundhog Day" and "Analyze This."
The plot: Jack Black and Michael Cera play two idiotic cavemen who are banished from their village and embark on a long voyage to dangerous places.
Our thoughts: Jack Black and Michael Cera travel back in time in Harold Ramis’ latest comedy “Year One,” but sadly enough, their big-screen journey across ancient times isn’t exactly as hilarious as it sounds. The recurrence of cheap, brainless humor and the lack of a proper story line cause plenty of damage to the plot, putting the film’s chances to score with large audiences in serious jeopardy. »

Harold Ramis Wouldn’t Mind Being a God
18 June 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Harold Ramis, as Adam, and Jack Black in The Year One, which Ramis directed.Would it be presumptuous to call Harold Ramis' new comedy, Year One, a "classic" before most people (including this writer) have seen it? No, actually, it wouldn't. In case you've forgotten, Harold Ramis is responsible for everything cool in the universe. He co-wrote and/or directed movies like Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Animal House, Groundhog Day, Stripes, Vacation, Analyze This and The Ice Harvest, among many others. He was a head writer for the cult 70s sketch show Sctv, a frequent director for NBC's The Office, and a writer/actor for the National Lampoon back when the National Lampoon wasn't an assembly line for all things crappy. If it made you laugh and was created in the last four decades, odds are that Ramis had a hand in it or at least inspired it. (Admittedly, Ramis has also given us some stinkers. »
