Creatively it's a giant step backwards, with Jack Black and Michael Cera playing to the kids as inept hunter-gatherers who stumble across various Old Testament characters.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
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.

For all its unevenness, the film is blessed by its lead actors.

[Year One has] some very funny moments but not enough of them.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Rotten
This is a significant notch below the great Monty Python films that tackled religion with intelligence and wit.
