Overview
When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.
I wasn’t as upset by this movie as others were but I get the strong dislike. Imagine if the cast and writers of SNL tried to make a full length movie that was Monty Python-ish – the result felt like an SNL skit that started out with a decent premise and then went on far too long. I’ve been a fan of Black for a long time and for the first time it just felt like there was too much of him being him (the addition of Cera to any film is almost never a good idea).
