Year One (2009)

  Another day, another shitty movie to erase from the server.

Zed (Jack Black) lives in a tribe of hunter gatherers with his best friend, Oh (Michael Cera).  Zed feels he's been chosen for a special destiny and eats the forbidden fruit from the garden, resulting in his exile from the tribe with Oh following behind.  They travel past the end of their known world and discovers that there are whole civilizations already flourishing.  They proceed to meet Cain (David Cross) and Abel (Paul Rudd), save Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) from being sacrificed by his father Abraham (Hank Azaria) and eventually find themselves in the city of Sodom, where most of their tribe has been sold into slavery.  Zed and Oh must find a way to free these two women that they really liked but were in no way good enough for (Juno Temple and June Diane Raphael) before they are sacrificed to the gods for rain.

This is a relentlessly stupid movie that makes zero narrative sense and never rises above the most juvenile humor.  I don't know why anyone involved chose to be.  It is homophobic, misogynist, fat-shaming, and lacks any and all diversity.  Truly the bottom of the barrel.
