In Year One, Was There Comedy?

Year One hits theaters this Friday and I’m torn. The trailers aren’t doing it for me. Those NBA Finals promo stops with Michael Cera and Jack Black were irritating to put it nicely. And while I like the premise and find wigs hilarious, the thing looks a little thin plot-wise.
But… it’s Harold Ramis, people, the man responsible for directing two of my favorite comedies Groundhog Day and Caddyshack . And did I mention dude’s a Ghostbuster ? Come on, I’m there.
But I don’t love its box-office prospects and expect repeat Hangover business to soften its bow even further. It opens in the low 20s and struggles to hit triple digits domestically.
