We saw a TV Spot Trailer for The Year One during the Superbowl, but now we get to see a full theatrical trailer for Jack Black and Michael Cera’s epic roadtrip comedy set in the oft overlooked first year of the calendar.
I have to admit, the first trailer didn’t suck me in. I think Cera’s underdog comedy is too different from Jack Black’s zany in-yer-face comedy. It is an odd pairing. But I will say that this trailer has got my interest again. Seeing them trip over biblical characters looks like guaranteed laughs. Harold Ramis as Adam, Hank Azaria as Abraham. And a plethora of other cameos I can’t wait to see.
Its been long enough since our last marathon tirade of Black movies came out where he shows his own style of improv, and I might be ready to get back on board with that again. I always liked his comedy, but I grew tired of it for a while there. Tropic Thunder and Kung Fu Panda (even just voice) seemed to have him more on a leash, which worked well too.
Cera is always Cera. I like him enough, but even rolling him back to the beginning of recorded time, he is the same guy.
