So what critics said about Year One? Let’s take a look.

Critic Reviews:

Chicago Tribune, Matt Pais
“Unfortunately, consistent laughs weren’t discovered until year two.”

Year One is quite a mixed bag of nuts…which could repulse [some] viewers… But if you can supress your gag reflex…it ascends to hyperventilating levels of hilarity.

This strategy — cutting away before a likely punchline — is Year One’s preferred mode.

Year One is an enjoyable knockabout comedy, but as a satire on human folly it’s a disappointment; Ramis could have gone much further underlining the parallels between ancient and modern religious wars.
