This will be a can't miss movie...

Judd Apatow, who has quickly become one of the most successful non-household names in comedy, is slated to team up with comedian Jack Black in the forthcoming Year One. Apatow (co-writer/director of the mega hit The 40 Year Old Virgin and the soon-to-be mega hit Knocked Up) will serve as producer while the writing and directing reigns are in the hands of the legendary Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day, Caddyshack). Owen Wilson will be an executive producer, and the screenwriters (along with Ramis) are The Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky. More good news: the hilariously awkward Michael Cera (George Michael from Arrested Development) is set to co-star.

40 Year-Old Virgin was a wonderful movie. Undeclared, if it's the one I'm thinking of (rejected from school so they started their own college?) was underwhelming.

Undeclared was a short lived TV series on Fox about ?6? years ago?

You're thinking of Accepted.

With that young kid who is this decade's version of "Dude, you are getting a Dell!".

Nope. That young kid is Justin Long, who looks and sounds a little bit like Ross Geller's younger brother, but has the character actor skills of Rick Moranis.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about that guy, but he annoys me in everything I've seen him in, especially those Mac commercials.

Wait, so is that a compliment to or a rip of, Rick Moranis?

Yea umm NOOOOO!

This was absolutely craptastic!! Worst movie I have seen in years and the first movie in a long long time I walked on. In the first 70 minutes I mildly chuckled 1 time.

I can't believe how god awful this was. Its the Battlefield earth of comedies. Im gonna have to go see The Hangover again just to wash this movie out of my brain. Sad because I usually love Black and Cera!

Yeah, after the NBA Finals pimping of this movie and the trailers, I have no desire to see it.

We did see The Hangover for a second time though. That was awesome, again.

Absolutely. This was the worst movie I've seen in a while. I know that Jack Black is not a great actor, but he was especially terrible in this. Every aspect of this movie was bad; it seemed like it was directed by a 3rd grader.
