Why I Walked Out of ‘Year One’ Crying
by Victoria JacksonI had a date with Judd Apatow. It was around 1991 and I was between husbands: the out-of-work-Jewish-Gypsy-fire-eater-musician, and the high-school-sweetheart-Baptist-helicopter-police-pilot. I needed a date to a premiere. I knew the rules of engagement for a Hollywood career, and I tried to follow them. It’s difficult to do this when you carry the burden of ethics around with you, but I tried to do it and stay within the bounds of morality.
1) Go to the right places. I went to the Playboy Mansion to find an agent, and I did. I was 21 and a Baptist virgin, and I found Betty from the William Morris commercial department there. Check.
2) Wear something provocative to a Hollywood premiere so you can get free publicity. I did that. When I was an SNL castmember trying to increase my movie roles, I attended some Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan premiere (go figure – it was a flop!) in a see-through black shirt with a flowered bra underneath. I felt ashamed, but I did get my picture in a few magazines. All press is good press, and press leads to opportunity.
3) Date famous men or up-and-coming smart Jewish comedy writers. I went on a date with Arthur Godfrey right before he died, and ten years later, when I was 30, I asked Judd Apatow to escort me to some Century City event. I was pretty much invisible to him the whole night, but we did get our picture in People Magazine.
That is about it in my list of cliché things I have done to help my career move along.
Well, today I walked out of a Judd Apatow movie crying. It was the scene where the obese homosexual is fortune-telling by looking at the bowels of a sheep that has been sodomized by a person. The movie was “Year One.” I tried to be open-minded as I watched the first 20 minutes of masturbation, fornication, circumcision jokes, continual penis references, bestiality, violence, and Biblical blasphemy. I told myself this was a PG-13 movie and the writers were “lost” so they didn’t know how vulgar they were being. I looked at the ten-year-old and his father sitting next to me. I must be old-fashioned or something. But, then I noticed no one was laughing. No one was walking out either. I was hoping that the crude jokes were flying over the heads of the poor children who were sitting there wide-eyed and innocent. My daughter is 15 and she loves Jack Black and the guy from “Juno,” so I thought we could have a Mom/teenager date. I asked myself, “Vicki, is this movie making you feel good?” Myself replied, “This movie is making me angry, very sad, hopeless, and dirty-feeling.” As the onscreen obese gay man poked at the bloody intestines and told the fifth anal sex joke, I looked at my daughter, and we got up and walked out. I started crying in the parking lot as we walked to our car. I am not from this world. I am an alien. No wonder me and Apatow never hit it off.

My God what a terrible movie. I'm sorry you and your daughter were subjected to any of it.
I hope you asked for your money back on your way out. Unlikely you would get it, but it would feel good and it may send a small message to the theater managment.
No, but if you hum a few bars I can fake it.
from one alien to another
– thanks for the warning. i won't be seeing that movie any time soon.
Victoria, good to see you on BH. I guess you can look at it this way– it's a darn good thing you and Apatow didn't hit it off. If this is what he considers good enough for public consumption, imagine what he finds funny in private. Thank you for taking one for the team and warning us off of "Year One." Otherwise I might have put it in my queue and ended up in tears– just like you.
Ricky, you are like an invited guest at a dinner party, who craps in the middle of the table and then wants someone else to clean it up.
What's that, some DA-DA non sequitur? Pal, you're lost. You took a left turn somewhere.
Victoria — I know just how you feel. I feel that emotion about five times a day. And it seems to be getting worse.
Well, I'm no prude. But all I can say is Harold Ramis should know better. I also like Apatow but, between the cast and the improv, you can tell his stamp is all over this. Part of me wishes I could yell at Ramis, "You were doing this when Judd and Co. were learning their multiplication tables! And you did it better!" This doesn't bode well for a possible third Ghostbusters flick.
He should of made a right.
Hey, I thought you was the ditzy one on SNL- whaddya doin', being all clever and stuff on this post?
Regardless of your confusion about how smart you're supposed to be and stuff – thank you for a well written and concise critique that will save me about $25 bucks at the theatres up in Evanston.
Oh, and it's definitely Apatow's loss.
Well done.
Thanks for the important update..our family will not go…..Jack Black needs Jesus….
Best to check these things out beforehand at Plugged In Online or somewhere like that. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way.
Even Jack Black can't save a POS.
So good to see you writing here, Victoria!
I did not need to know that you were available in 1991, though. So was I!
Shoot.
I have no idea why some of this stuff passes for comedy these days. It's all sixth grade potty humor with no wit. I'm not a prude but I like something to be cleverly done not just running idiocy.
This is really well written Victoria, and is very nice of you to share. Sometimes I step back from pop culture and society, and am really appalled and bewildered about how proud people are of their coarse sense of humor. I tend to think that I have a somewhat dirty sense of humor, as long as there's some cleverness, truth, and irony to it. But with some movies, like this one, I step back and see this kind of humor only hiding a deeply sadistic view of the world. It's really very sad and bizarre.
There are a couple of P.G. Wodehouse stories where Bertie runs into a blowhard Broadway producer who only takes creative advice from his obnoxious nine-year old son. His theory was that the average theater-goer has the mentality of a nine-year old so if his son likes something then the audience will like it. This seems to be the formula for the "outrageous" film comedies of today. Not only that but the focus is on nine-year olds with neurotic fixations on feces, bowels, penises, vulgarity and the drive-by degredation of women. I suppose that guys like Ramis, Apatow, the Farrelly brothers etc. know their business but it is a really sad commentary on how low film comedy has fallen. Ms. Jackson's piece echoes that of another parent last week who walked out on "Land of the Lost" for the same reasons. Glad I have most of Billy Wilder's films on tape or DVD.
I figured this movie was going to suck when I read some quote from Ramis that it's OK to poke fun at western myths. And that was in reference to the Bible. That's paraphrasing, but close enough.
I also figured this movie would suck when the trailers were really bad. If you can't have funny trailers, you're in trouble.
Now, Hangover, that was a funny movie.
Victoria! So good to see you on Big Hollywood. This is J____ who was fresh back from the Middle East, friend of B____ S_____ whom you met in February at Laugh Factory. I really appreciate your review of the film (Saved me $10) and hope to see you online on a regular basis. Keep fightin the fight my friend!
Grow up Ricky.
I evidently don't get out much, because I haven't seen Victoria in a long time. GREAT to have her back, and on the side of sanity.
Get up, walk out, and demand your money back, people. Losing money is the only way they'll learn.
I don't have as big a problem when it comes to movies since they're advertised and rated and you have to be pro-active (meaning you actively make a choice to see it)… my problem (and I'm no prude and I can do dirty with the best of them) is with bad commercials and reality TV. I know BH did a great write-up of Joel McHale and The Soup about a month ago and some of the shows featured on The Soup disgust me. I worked as a PA on a Simple Life episode in 2005 and we all thought that was crossing a line. We were wrong.
Now we're stuck with Tila Tequila (a walking STD) and I Love New York.
PG13! Really??? My oh my how low we have gotten. I am disgusted by the vulgar tripe that most comedy in movies has become. I am sorry you and your daughter witnessed this grossout of a picture. I think anyone with morals has become an alien to Hollywood these days.
I loved it when you did the gymnastics on the Weekend Update skits on SNL. Those days SNL was still good. Not like hacks such as Fallon, etc. Anyway, Nacho Libre is one of the great underappreciated comedy movies of all time, but if Jack Black bombs it wont be because he can't make something that is not funny into something funny. I would put the blame on the people behind this movie and not Jack.
Victoria,
Thank you for validating what I thought when I saw the previews for this. Instead of taking Dad out to the movies for father's day, we're gonna sit inside and watch the fourth season of NCIS instead. Which will be much more entertaining and fun.
I heard a review of it by Plugged In Online. It seems like they were going out of their way to be offensive.
Movie studios put so much emphasis on opening-weekend box office figures that I'm confused by what they're doing with both this and the 'Land of the Lost" movie (both PG-13.) The commercials for both made them look silly, sure, but not obscene.
Why are they encouraging people to wait for reviews and word of mouth before seeing a movie?
and acting lessons.
By all means, Ms. Jackson. Please continue to post to BH! More actor/actress views are always exiciting to read.
Plugged In Online is a great way to separate the wheat from the chaff coming out of Hollywood.

Thank you, Victoria, for sharing your belief in our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. I believe the Bible is God's Word. I can't pick & chose what part of the Bible to believe. It's all or nothing & for me, it's all. I don't always do what is right, but I try to follow His Word. Thank you for your strength & courage to share publicly your faith.
Apatow is running out of shock, but I don't see anything with Jack Black in it. He ran out of funny many movies ago. He's just a weird little fat guy with bugeyes any more. And he's always been crude, back to 30 years ago when he was playing the Comedy Store. If he's not who I think he was then, it was his evil twin.
It's kind of a shame too since I've always been a Ghostbusters fan. Oh well, at least the new Ghostbusters game can't be any worse.
Jack Black was born in 1969. I doubt he was playing the Comedy Store when he was 10.
Victoria it is so wonderful to hear from you even if it was over a sorry excuse for a movie. I can't help but think of your song from SNL "I AM NOT A BIMBO!" No, Miss Vicki you are definately not a bimbo but a courageous mom standing up for what she believes in! BRAVO!!
Looking forward to reading more from you!
Thanks for the heads up, Victoria. Loved you on SNL!
I hope you got your money back. That's just awful.
*facepalm.jpg*
Good for you Victoria! After seeing the repulsive staged musical bit Black did attacking Christians and those against Prop 8..that did it for me. Jack Black movies from now on..off the menu. And no more crying..just stand on your head and sing one of your awesome ditzy ditties..always made me laugh!
I cant say anything that has'nt been said except it is a sad state of affairs when we spend money to watch such foul stupidity. Thanks Victoria for a telling the truth so many can avoid the trap of another "comedy" movie for the family.
Nice to know I'm not the last walker-outer out there… the missus and I walked out of the "40-year-old Virgin" — can you believe it? Such a popular movie, and I don't necessarily want to rain on anyone else's parade, but we waited for it to "get funny" for 20 minutes or so and then switched theatres, furtively, like we used to when we were kids. *That* was fun. Nice to know, Ms. Jackson, that you are among friends. Rent, or buy for your daughter, WALL-E, or Joe Versus the Volcano, or some such absurd fare. But remember: PG is the new PG-13, PG-13 is the new R, and the new R is anything goes. (I teach school, so I am exposed to far too much information from my students as it is.) Cheers!
"I am not from this world. I am an alien."
No doubt you already know this Victoria, but…
John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Romans 12:2 (A) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
I generally have no interest in Hollywood comedies because I don't find potty humor and sex jokes funny, and that seems to be the only type of humor Hollywood does these days. But wow, I had no idea this movie would be that bad! How disgusting! Thank you for taking a stand and walking out. How I wish other parents had taken their children out of there too. How any parent can sit there and allow their child's mind to be poisoned with such vulgarity is beyond me.
One day every single person involved with this blasphemous piece of trash will have to answer to God for it. Let's hope they repent and beg forgiveness before that time comes, or they will suffer the eternal consequences for their actions.
Thanks Victoria, I could see in your eyes you weren't the ditsy character you played much too often. I haven't darkened the door of a movie megamart in over twenty years. I'm not a bible thumper by any means, but even then hollywood was already in decline and not worth my time or my dime. Kids should learn from their common sense parents, not hollywood producer/writers selling lowest common denominator movie trash.
Victoria, I always had a crush on you back in the day because of your sweetness and beauty. And you just proved that both those qualities live on. You're still that and a good mom too. I married a sweetie very similar to you, now that I think about it.
This kind of drivel from Hollywood isn't offensive to just people of religion, but people of intelligence. This is a perfect example of why I've been to a movie theatre about 3 times in the last 20 years. My wife, my boy, my girl and myself are subjected to enough cretinous idiocy just from everyday living. Why would we pay to see more? This is entertainment? This is relaxing? I'm not prudish or preachy, but I loathe Jack Black and this whole realm of stupidity. And Harold Ramis needs to come home. He's better than this.
People wonder why I have so many DVDs of old movies and TV shows. It's not hard to figure out – there's nothing new worth watching.
When someone as sweet as Victoria Jackson cries, the whole world is a little sadder.
What a refreshing reaction to what sadly has become commonplace in our culture. Thank you for speaking out, Ms. Jackson.
It's a shame Apatow is getting so very lazy and dull. I guess it was going to happen eventually considering his success. I didn't see Year One. Not because I thought I'd be offended at the humor because I knew it was going to be vulgar. Frankly, it just looked like it was going to be….dull. And I used to be a Jack Black fan. I enjoyed his photo-copied performances the first 4 or 5 times I saw it.
Speaking of Joel, we just watched the Soup. The dude is seriously funny. He watches the filth so we do not have to, and makes us laugh hysterically over the insanity that is reality tv. The Speidi bit he did tonight was killer!
Today on Ed Morrissey's (HotAir) show he talked about how funny it was. His best friend had taken him to see it and he said we should go and check it out.
OK, I looked them up. There was a group just like Tenacious D there back then. They were called Ogden Edsl and their most famous song was "Dead Puppies." They were as crudely offensive as Black manages to be lately. Maybe the singer was his daddy, sure looked like him.
Harold Ramis should be embarrassed and ashamed. I hope sixty-something Harold isn’t walking around saying “dude” in order to appear hip to a talentless crowd that can’t hold a candle to his earlier work. Judd Apatow is a one note wonder – penis, penis, penis and…anal sex!
We get it Judd, you're obsessed with PENIS. You're sure are OUTRAGEOUS. Can't wait for your DOODIE MOVIE to come out. Like Will Farrell, Apatow is on about minute 24 of his 15 minutes. Hopefully he'll keep drifting into that ditch and we'll be done with him once and for all.
What a touching reply. Very nice, ScottMcC.
For those of you who have not recently seen Ms. Jackson, you missed a great viewing of her on Hannity. I could be wrong, but about two months ago she was on with Sean Hannity and was very good. Our family enjoyed her.
Thank you Ms. Jackson for taking a stand. Many of us who believe we are strong enough to confront an uncomfortable situation are not always as strong as we think we are, and I have to admit there are times when I should have walked out on a movie, but did not.
Being a Mom sort of changes things though. What a wonderful example you were for your daughter. As we are to lead by example, you did exactly that! Mothers are always second guessing whether, or not we are parenting as we should. You have just given yourself one event you will not have to second guess! It is not going to be one of those times you wish you could redo. Mine are 18. Enjoy these last three years before she goes off to school.
I hope you will have more movie reviews here in the future. Best wishes, and thanks for fighting the good fight!
Were you really surprised that there were frequent sexual references in a Judd Apatow movie? I don't think the writers are at fault for being vulgar. Free speech includes vulgar speech. I think you made a bad decision to take children to a movie intended for mature audiences. Yes, it was PG-13, but parents really should read about the content of a film before taking their children to see it. It was your choice to take your children to see it. The writers, producers, etc. did not force you to watch their "vulgar" movie.
Wha–? Boy, the reading comprehension scores have officially reached a new low in your school district, Oppenheimer.
Jack Black did have the part of Jesus in the prop 8 musical , making fun of christians who are anti homosexuality. Hollywood often mocks christians, the bible, and Jesus. They don't get it, they don't want to get it, it might mean that they would have to change their lifestyle. It is easier to mock christians who take an absolute moral stance, then it is to change and have morality for yourself. Hollywood is a sess pool, that will never change. This world is a sinful and lost world full of unsaved people who just don't get it, most never will until they die, which is sad.
Victoria, BRAVO! Thank you for reminding me why I don't go to movies–many are hostile to traditional values. Sorry to hear that you and your daughter was exposed to this tripe.
Hire this woman to review more movies.
You're not an alien, Victoria. In fact, I think it's great to hear from a woman in Hollywood who hasn't given in to the, "I better just go along to get along," mentality. I haven't had to walk out of a movie with my daughter yet, but it's because most of the time I check for reviews like this (from a regular person…..most critics aren't trustworthy either) before I go. I was actually considering Land Of The Lost until the reviews started pouring in. Not the bad ones, my nine-year old often loves bad movies (much to my dismay), but the comments about the crude humor and swearing that was stealth-packaged into a kid-friendly looking trailer.
This one I had a feeling about months ago. I'm waiting for Transformers. Michael Bay knows how to do just enough to keep the grownups happy, just enough to amaze the kids, and not offend anyone (well, except the fanboys who feel their childhood has been tarnished because Bumblebee is now a Camaro instead of a Volkswagon).
Good point. Jack Black has been occasionally funny. All he needs is the right material — and this is clearly not it… he ought to fire his agent, considering the number of absolute turds he's been in lately.
Umm…guys, hate to burst a bubble, but Judd Apatow produced this or helped produce this. He didn't or doesn't have a writing credit attached with this film. He's such a bad writer, but somehow came out with the newest line of classic comedy films. Guess everything can't be as "classic" as Paul Blart. Yes, this movie is terrible, but don't deride the famous name of recent successful films for it's failure, deride that of the actual writers and director and studio for such tripe. And if we're going to get into ratings, then we shouldn't have a rating system period.
Good point about Apatow being only a producer here. And let's not forget that Harold Ramis, director of "Caddyshack" and "Stripes", is no stranger to crude humor.
I like how you managed to get a little Jew-bashing in there,you worthless pile of winger dung.
"Date famous men or up-and-coming smart Jewish comedy writers."
Yeah, when I stand on my head and cross my eyes, it reads, "money grubbing, cock-sucking jew bastards"
Kudos to you "moped the dopehead," you cracked the secret code in record time!
PS: WTF is winger dung you dick??
go back to dkook site and brag about your attack on the Real Americans in defense of hollyweird
kos is proud of your LIBERAL VITRIOL AND HATE toward the Real Americans
now, go away, little boy – back to grade school with you – or is the McD fry grill calling you?
What a treat to read your column, Victoria, and I agree wholeheartedly! My kids are old enough to know the dirtiness, and I can't seem to find much we can all watch together.. I'm embarrassed, angered, disgusted, the whole gambit of discomfort at what we're seeing/hearing within the 'entertainment' world.. We went to see '17 Again' because of a Big Hollywood review, and it was pretty good! Thank you for your review of that Jack Black piece of garbage film that we won't be seeing. Go see 'My Life in Ruins,' although there's a bit of questionable stuff in that one too.. You're a brave woman, and you have lots of people like me who are happy to listen to you! We're proud that you speak up for your Christian beliefs also.
Victoria, that was so beautifully written. Thank you for sharing your heart!
People should not be afraid to walk out of movies that they find offensive, and they should always ask for a refund or credit if they do. It saddens me, however, to hear that some are giving up entirely on going to the movies. It may take a whole lot more research and discernment than it did in the old days, but there are still good films to be found. Please, please, please, I beg any of you people of faith who are reading this: pray for those who are seeking to create good, wholesome entertainment. We need the support if we are to persevere and create quality scripts that you (and society) can enjoy and be blessed by. As Victoria has shared in this piece, it is an incredible battle for those have chosen to pursue their art in Hollywood without compromising their morals. I believe that if people of faith would remember to pray for their fellow believers working in Hollywood, we would see incredible changes on the big screen, on television, and pouring out into society.
I believe Victoria Jackson referred to "Joe Vs the Volcano" as one of the premieres she had attended in her SNL days. Just sayin'…
I am a religious person, and I am also a student of comedy. I love it when Hollywood gets religion or moral values right, and still side-splittingly funny. (Preston Sturges). But to hit that level of competence, they have to be really passionate about what they believe, and yet know how to bring out the funny.
It's quite obvious from the trailers, and from interviews of Harold Ramis, that he was quite half-hearted about this. I mean, shock humor is where comedians go when there's nothing they can draw out of the material. Talk about oil and water…
Victoria, how do you do it?
It appears that you may have read The Bible, but have not fully understood everything you have read. That is where religion lends a hand. We are not of this world but we have to learn to live in it. You shouldn't have been surprised by walking out of a movie that is going against your spirit. Best of luck in your choices next time.
[...] the original here: Why I Walked Out of ‘Year One’ Crying This entry is filed under America – Blogs, Big Hollywood. You can follow any responses to this [...]
1- I keep asking why bland mediocrity like Jack Black makes so many movies and probably lots of cash too 2- Why isn't putting him through a wodchipper on EVERYONE'S mind?? (just kidding) 3- and is Ms Jackson married?
Don't you have better things that you can be morally outraged about? Isn't Obama fight Jesus, steadily working to turn the country into a Cuba-like dictatorship?
Is it you Jack??
at least she knows what funny and whats not…hit by stupid how original are you?? …go play with other kids int he sandbox.
I was thinking about posting some scathing diatribe concerning ratings and what passes for comedy today, but then, been there/done that. So, let me just say that… well, if your present situation doesn't work out… LOL!
When I was a teenager, I worked in a movie theater, and had friends working in several others of different chains. At least in this state, it's standard practice to refund the money no questions asked, so long as the movie is less than half over. Hopefully, Ms. Jackson was able to get her money back too.
It's "woodchipper". If you're going to cast stones, it would help to not have typos.
You and I are brothers from different mothers.
The single most interesting thing about life: Some people grow and others don't. It is a cosmic conundrum. But one with a simple explanation.
Thank you so much for bravely writing this, Victoria! We need more strong women like you, fighting in Hollywood against all those who find anal sex to be so hilarious. I can't take my family to see anything anymore, even if it's rated PG. When will they realize that there's a large group of us who prefer bland humor, compared to the vulgar, nasty, lewd things they like to joke about like anal sex (I still can't believe there were 5 jokes about it before you walked out!). It's almost like we need someone to decide what we can and can't watch, instead of letting the marketplace dictate what America finds funny. That way, there would be no question about what is or isn't funny. Then, we could have a return to the golden age of comedy that reflects our values like family, kindness, felching, and faithfulness. Let's take over Hollywood!!
Thank you for sharing! We appreciate seeing you here and sharing your thoughts on any subject, and thanks for warning us about this one.
That's too bad, I was planning on seeing this. Thanks honey, for the warning! Please hug yourself for me.
Delighted to learn that Victoria Jackson is one of us! I thought over the years that she was greatly underused. Loved her "I am not a bimbo" song on SNL.
barf
While this sort of humor is not my cup of tea, what I dont understand is how it was a surprise to anyone what they were getting into when buying a ticket.
I saw the trailer, which seems like it was a honest depiction of the film, and knew I wasn't interested.
Yes there are a lot of crude films coming out, pushing the envelope, but theres also some wonderful jewels as well. "Up" was a unexpected delight, "Coraline" was a slightly spooky, but stunning visual poem, and I just rented "Secondhand Lions", which is just wonderful.
But the movie that offended you, well, I cant imagine why on earth you of all people would choose to see it.
We're saved! Thank the Lord you showed up. We were lost in a sea of horrible grammar mistakes!
Do you foretell the coming of the spelling savior?
Thank God I found another alien! I was beginning to think I was the only one.
Apatow is talented, but like most comedic writers, he bombs when he tries to get political on one side or another. Ironically, conservative comedians are better sports, and try NOT to offend everyone except 3-5% of the population.
Someday they'll get it.
You are also the spelling savior!!!!! Hallelujah!
I say religion doesn't help anyone understand the Bible. A relationship with Christ himself… that helps.
Keith Olbermann declared Victoria Worse Person in the World for her appearance on Hannity. That proves she is made of strong character and substance.
She is referencing the many verses in the Bible that tell us we are not of this world. For instance, Hebrews 11:
13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
They didn't see the Messiah in their time on earth but they new He was coming as promised. Ms. Jackson, you just showed us that you are 'looking for a country of your own.' Bravo and God bless.
How is that irony?
So the Oscar goes to those who are the best diggers into the bowels of inhumanity; if entertainment is nothing more than pumping doo-doo out of the sewer this is how we all end up with Jack Black starring in a Hollywood comedy.
You have an X-Files credit? Cool.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye
well, I don't think crying was called for.
Sorry, Jack could've simply read the script and told Ramis to find another actor, or get it re-written. He has that much clout now to choose projects that have some quality to them.
I remember that! It's even funnier now, since, you know, she obviously is one! God bless!
