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!
Let's face it: the days of truly creative wit in Hollywood film are over. You won't see any Marx Bros., Bob & Bing on the "Road," Nick & Nora sipping martinis…Heck, even the Three Stooges are the epitome of culture and refinement compared to today's comedies.
Hollywood screenwriters are the lowest form of hacks. The talent level reaches the lowest height of making a quick buck off a fart joke. I applaud Victoria and suggest she rent How To Mary A Millionaire, The Women, or a Preston Sturges classic, pop some corn, and curl up with your daughter for a great evening of laughter and entertainment.
I think you need to blame harold ramis on this one… unfortunately. apatow just has producer credits. which he does on just about every movie.
Can someone please explain to me what's wrong with a little crude humor? It doesn't signal the downfall of society…It's existed in every culture that's ever been studied.
Many very talented and bright comediennes have played "the dummy." Lonnie Anderson comes to mind. Lucille Ball is still regarded as the funniest gal of all time.
Vicki-obviously, you grew up and your friends didn't. Take heart you have many friends here.
Listen, you and your logic don't belong around these parts. We don't like Hollywood, ok, but we can still inexplicably go to see one of the most obviously vulgar movies of the year and expect WHOLESOME entertainment. Jiminy Christmas! There were masturbation jokes. We all know that nobody masturbates, not moral people at least! And talking about medical procedures like circumcision…Well, I never! My 'wide-eyed and innocent' children might find out something.
We haven't been so mad since we watched Superbad. We hated it so much we went back three times!
Well hello Victoria! Thanks for your review, yet another Hollywood movie that’s off the list.
Jack Black has turned from being very funny to just using shock language and scenarios to try to get a response. I thought that the movie he made with Ben Stiller about VietNam was tragically inappropriate and after about fifteen minutes of it, rejected it from my dvd player. When my brother and I went to see "SuperBad", I looked at him and he at me after less than fifteen minutes of it and we got up and left the theater. Hollywood is really a cesspool of cocaine induced jerks…….now I have to include the once funny Jack Black in all of that too.
Victoria, you are a gem! As I read this funny, heart-breaking, and uplifting piece, I heard your delightful voice in my ear. Please keep writing!! So glad to see you here on Big Hollywood, where the good-humored revolution has begun.
A lot of folks are with you Victoria. There is a lot of crap out there trying to pass itself off as something to be celebrated and enjoyed but the worst part is the complacency of consumers.
Victoria,
You were always my FAVORITE SNL player! My friends always gave me a strange look when I told them that it took talent to pull off the characters you played, much like Judy Holiday in "Born Yesterday". It's not easy.
Anyway, I wouldn't have wasted the $25 to see this flick anyway but appreciate your review. You have to figure that the previews are going to give you the best the movie has to draw you in. The previews gave us nothing.
And yes, Apatow's loss.
Post again soon!
Crying is called for in times of sorrow and distress. Victoria was weeping for all the kids who will see this and other horrible films and be brainwashed. Kids who don't have parents who will guide them away from the spolied milk, the rotten meat, the moldy bread, and the poisonous movies. I'm crying, too.
I've crying about your overdramatic reaction to a stupid movie.
Those are values we can all stand behind.
What's wrong with obese homosexuals?
Hi Victoria,
Good to see you here.
Reading your review just reconfirms to me why I don't go to the movies anymore.
I don't miss throwing my money away a bit!
Hi Victoria,
Great to see you here.
Reading your review just confirms to me why I do not go to the movies.
I don't miss throwing my money away a bit.
Yikes, double post…..sorry
From her discription of the movie , I think I'll see it twice
WTH…..

Will my comment show up?
what?
Great! That way I won't have to see it once! (Could you please go see the next dozen Will Ferrell movies twice too, by the way?)
Haven't seen you on Big Hollywood before. Welcome.
Wouldn't it be great if most of an audience at some dreck of a movie like that walked out and asked for their money back?
Victoria Jackson is here! And she's more conservative that I am! And she's a great writer!
The first two come as a shock. The third does not.
Good to hear from you, Victoria. Welcome to Big Hollywood. Come back often.
Nice to see you here, Ms. Jackson! I wish you were my neighbor. We would become fast friends, I know!
Poor Apatow is just trying to do what Adam Sandler does so well. But Apatow is giving the genre his own "creative" spin by leaving out the funniness, sweetness, comedy, artistic restraint, humor and moral core. It's sad, really.
Great stuff, Victoria. Nice to know that the "comedy geniuses" in Hollywood have stopped trying to write and merely depend on fart/sex jokes anymore. Don't get me started on "Land of the Lost". Good for you for expecting more from the creative community.
Also, thanks for speaking up for the rest of us "aliens".
THANK YOU MR SALIVATION!!!!! OOPS SALVATION…. I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU CAUGHT MY MISSING "O"…… MAYBE NOW YOU CAN MAKE A NAME ABOUT TYPING IN CAPS?
I wouldn't have walked in–the commercial was bad enough–but I think it's great that VJ and her daughter walked out.
Two words: Bruce Vilanch.
This is the way I felt about Knocked up and Tropic Thunder. I blogged about Tropic Thunder and I only watched it all the way so I could be sure I was as offended at the beginning as I was at the end. It is getting really, really bad. Thanks for pointing this out so I will not rent the DVD.

I must be the only person that hates Judd Apatow films. I see commercials and some scenes online or in TV movie review shows and I really find nothing funny in these movies nor interesting. I am 26 years old. I'm supposed to be finding this stuff as cool and hip. I just feel his films are so uncreative and vulgar. Give me an old Bob Hope flick or "It Happened One Night." Great and funny films.
Well said "Anonymous".
You went to a movie that everyone knows is going to be vulgar. How could you be surprised? That's like me going to church and being surprised at all the gory torture icons.
Jack Black is a POS
Thank you for the view Victoria, this rotorhead was not going to bother, and I sure as heck will not even rent the DVD. Its a shame what passes for talent and entertainment today. I long for the days when comics like Bill Cosby could make you laugh so hard your sides ached and never was vulgar doing it. I sure miss not seeing you on TV or the big screen.
I appreciate your example Victoria. It's a good thing there are still great family movies coming out regularly. Good to see you here.
It is funny that so many of the young ones never really get to see funny stuff. I was looking at You Tube things on my computer when a friend's kid came by. He sat there with me and watched some of the old things on Johnny Carson with Jack Benny, Mel Blanc and he was knocked out by how funny it was. We ended up looking up a lot of the old time comedians and he thought they were hilarious – and not a really dirty crack in any of them. Shame we have to put up with these krep comedians these days when there are so many really funny old time ones to show the way. There is a reason that Lucy and Sid Caesar and George Gobel and Jack Benny and the others lasted so long and are still looked up to while the more recent ones have a half-life of about a year. There are some good ones these days. I saw Jeff Dunham the other day and he was pretty good.
Who is Keith Olbermann? sarc
Anyone ever think "Two-Minute Hate" when Olbermann's "Worse Person in the World" segment gets mentioned? Though I think he takes longer than two minutes to get through pointing at whatever person gets his ire for the moment.
Thanks Victoria for saving me from seeing this movie too.
Jack Black was actually good in 'The Holiday'. In it, he didn't play a crude, foul mouthed loser, or a 'fatty fall-down' character. He actually had charm and showed he could be likeable.
But I guess that he prefers to slam Christians, Conservatives, and other people he probably doesn't care to rub elbows with, to making films that appeal to the vast majority of people.
And I do agree as well. Jesus was crying in the Garden right before his "arrest" for being King of the Jews. (I put arrest in quotes because it is clear that Jesus was not guilty of anything, but Jesus let himself be crucified on a cross because he knew his death was the only way to redeem mankind.)
Nice to hear from you Victoria. For the record, this complete trash of a movie represents the conditions of the world before the flood. Jesus did say that the end would be near in which the days in the son of man would be the same as the days in Noah's time. We are getting pretty close. I pretty much just rent films and today I watched two Buddies movies, both AirBuddies and SnowBuddies and both were great films. It is a crying shame when the best movies are "direct to video" while crude humor and anal sex jokes are summer blockbusters. Finance reform, health care reform, and hate crime reform should take a massive back seat to Hollywood reform.
Lazy comics resort to vulgarity and repetition of said vulgarity, in an effort to appear 'edgy' and audiences laugh because… well they are usually under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Saying 'S**T' once gets laughs, so they think that doing it ten times will get ten times the laughs. The part of the audience who are wasted will laugh at anything. The other part laughs I think, as a defensive mechanism, as they don't want to look like they don't 'get' the 'joke' and they are no longer 'cool'. No doubt the writers of films such as 'Year One' are imbibing these substances while they are writing them, since they have to act as their own audience.
I will say that all comedians push the limits. The Marx Brothers had jokes which pushed their era's 'envelope'. But they knew that they could only go so far, and were willing to compromise the way a particular phrase or gag was written. They respected the limits of their audiences and did not demand that their audiences pay good money to be insulted by increasing and repetitive vulgarity.
Yep! I love that episode!
A little crude humor? The things she described don't bother you? Well then, I'm afraid there's nothing I can say.
I wanted to post again because my daughter told me something interesting regarding this sort of thing. She's a film student and over the summer, she's a script analyst. She says the scripts she reads are much, much worse than what you've described. As a Christian Conservative she's been giving her honest opinion of the scripts and waiting for backlash from the office, and the surprising thing is that she's getting great feedback. We are pretty amazed and encouraged, there's a glimmer of hope if she and others like her makes it in the business. It's be something. My son is also in film school, one of them at least has to make it!
Comedy these days is pretty poor ground int he theaters. Even the "push the limits" jokes are tired and stale. They need good scripts and creativity… but the crap is easier. It is sad.
Our values must come before our success. My wife and I haven't been to any movies in years because nothing to date seems worth it. Smut and computer graphics will never replace talent, something there seems to be so little of in Hollywood today.
I like a clever dirty joke now and again. Clever being the operative word. Apatow's calling card (as much as I like him), seems to be coming right out of the box with the gratuitous (i.e. The horse joke two seconds into 40 Year Old Virgin).
To contrast, Michael Mann's "Public Enemies" (July 1st) , starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger , while laden with gun fire, eludes to sexual situations rather than exploiting them directly and gratuitously.
For the price of humor, though, I'll take my money to see "Hangover" instead of "Year One".
Thanks, Victoria!
Amen that. Thanks for making that clear. I mean I kind of saw that coming with the trailers, but even that couldn't make it clear how bad this movie was going to be. Not enough people walk out of lousy cinema; you set a great example for the rest of us. Thanks for doing the right thing.
Thanks, Victoria, for being one of the lonely voices of sanity in Hollyweird (well, and also for being beautiful, funny, and so talented!). Anyone who doesn't feel like an alien in our garbage-pail 'culture' has something seriously amiss in the soul department. I'm looking forward to hearing much more from you.
This movie looks terrible and I have no interest in seeing it..but I wonder, did you even see a trailer before you went to this movie? If you had, you probably wouldn't have chosen to see it in the first place. Sure, it's a terrible movie and is incredibly offensive but sadly, those kinds of movies have an audience, which is why they're still being made.
I'm tired of hearing about how people see movies and get offended and worry about their wasted money. Um..do a little research before hand? It's really not that hard in the age of the internet.
I was surprised that Harold Ramis, who's name has been attached to some of Hollywood's funniest best family films would partake in such a filth fest touted as comedy. Ms Jackson's description of the one scene alone is the reason I havn't been to a movie theater since the Passion of the Christ.
"Garbage in Garbage out" should be plastered underneath the "famous' Hollywood Sign.
Thanks so much for the warning. I still resent paying good money for films that left me feeling dirty and sad. I'm so impressed by your testimony.
I too enjoy a good double entendre. I enjoy clever and smart. What Victoria Jackson describes is lazy raunch on the order of 12 year olds trying to sound grown up. I was past that mentality soon after I was old enough to not need to sneak into an "R" rated movie.
I suspect that Victoria provided more clever writing in this post than in the entire "Year One" script.
BTW, I have always smiled when I have seen you on screen, Victoria. You are a good soul.

Yesterday, I tried three times to post a similar comment, but the "Administrator" deleted my comment instantly. I shall see if a reply to a comment will work (It worked! Funny, I had to use the IE emulator add-on in my Firefox to make the post work. Bad move if they don't get the site working well with Firefox.).
I'd get up and leave to. I am so sick of the juveniles making so called comedys now. Why do these dudes think they are funny? Do they sit around with their hands in their arm pits making fart sounds?
LOL at your first comment. You can practically set your watch to some of Apatow's jokes (and I say that as a fan).
It's sad because Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and to a lesser extent The Larry Sanders Show all prove that Apatow can do funny (and even heartfelt) without resorting to dirty jokes every ten seconds. (I don't even have a problem with dirty jokes but they lose their shock value when used with such frequency).
What school is she attending? Just curious.
I'm a film school grad myself. And I don't want to presume anything but is she marking up these scripts because her values as a conservative Christian contradict with the script content… or are the scripts just really that bad?
"Do they sit around with their hands in their arm pits making fart sounds?"
I doubt if they have enough talent to do THAT!
I am not from this world. I am an alien.
"This world is not my home, I'm just passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore."
Combination of both. She has told the people at the production company about her Christianity (and she assumes they therefore understand her conservatism.. I told her what Andrew Breitbart had stated on an interview: keep your conservatism to yourself until you establish yourself in the business, just move on up without the flack..). She said that every script except one! has been weak, predictable, they are very R rated, a lot of 'holes' in the plot, nasty dialogue, etc, and she has written her true feelings in her reviews, and she told me yesterday that they are treating her with respect, and giving her 'more important' scripts to review. She's amazed. She goes to USC (as does my son, also in the Cinema School).

Sometimes it's worth it to check reviews and general "movie buzz" in advance of a movie. This one always was skippable to me. Go see truly good movies, like "Star Trek" or Disney-Pixar's "up" instead.
Thank you for sharing Victoria, I too am an alien in this Judd Apatow type comedic world. I don't understand the thought process, movies that appeal to more people make more money. Very easy concept. Why is everyone investing in these gross movies? Crude lockeroom, disgusting humor is not appealing to all. Grandmother, my parents, my husband, my kids and myself want the old comedies back. These crude movies that are out there are only making money because there is no other options. Please beam me up Scotty, I want to go back in time to get a good laugh with my family!

[...] And another thing: I was looking at the TV listings for Sunday night and one “show” was called “Obese and Pregnant”. Who on God’s green Earth would watch this crépe? Probably the same people who enjoyed this movie. [...]
So why does everybody think it made $20 million this weekend?
Victoria, since you're in the business, what have you done to help change this culture of immortality?
NCIS – loooove Mark Harmon and Pauley Perrette. That show, along with the tree CSI programs, are the only programs I'll watch on CBS.
Thank you, Victoria, for the information about this movie. Without your article, I would have had no idea about the content. Funny how that vulgar, obscene tripe (pardon the pun) never gets mentioned in the previews.
I've always enjoyed you and your acting talents. Big SNL fan… back in the day. I've seen your interviews on one of the Christian t.v. stations I watch. Thank you for bringing your faith to bear on the empty, vapid culture in Hollywood.
Blessings to your and yours… while we eagerly await the New Hollywood.
Nice deal. I'll assume if a script is R-rated and good, she'd let it pass…? But the more bad scripts she grades and nitpicks, the better. I wish your kids good luck in their future film endeavors.
LOL!!!
If toilet humor and a couple peen jokes cause you to leave a movie theater and cry you probably need some counseling.
Turns out the movie is a big flop, I would feel ten times worse if it was a big hit.
Nicely put and I agree with everything you said.

How was tropic thunder "tragically inappropriate?" It was a movie doing what all you armchair critics do, mock the movie studio system in creating movies about serious events. Is the venom just because someone got paid to do what your doing for free?
Thanks to the admins for deleting all my comments. Apparently its cool to dissent to movies you don't like, but websites and columnists are off limits. Way to open the discussion. Maybe I should start every comment with "Hey Victoria your the best actress I've never heard off since I was only born in the 80s and enjoy good films and shows" so someone will allow a post.
It could also be said that Jesus hates religion. When you get down to it, religions are a set of rules to live your life by. Like you said, a relationship with Christ is all that is needed and is much more satisfying.
Odd, I only use Firefox with this site and I have yet to have a problem.
I bet not making garbage in the first place is a good first move. If Hollywood would do that one simple thing, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
What the world needs now is… UHF 2.
Except that what actually gets filmed and/or broadcast today is almost beyond parody…
I wouldn't give Jack Black a plug nickel, time of day, let alone the price of a movie ticket.
Note to Hollywood…there is no challenge in being vulgar. The real challenge is to be funny without being vulgar. Ask Ellen Degeneres.
Land of the Lost is corrupted too? I was afraid that would happen, but I was hoping it wouldn't. The TV series was a lot better than most people at the time realized. They had some top-notch writing talent, including Larry Niven and Gregory Benford.
And some slimfast.
Damn ricky, are you trying to get the most number of posts deleted?? What ever you are doing it seems to be working.
I felt the same way when I learned it was being made into a Will Farrell comedy. The original show had a great concept and material that could have made for an engaging action/adventure movie. It's a shame that the idea got trashed this way.
Victoria, it's great to see you writing here. I've always remembered the way in which you describe the difference between religion and Christianity, and I appreciated reading about your experiences as a follower of Jesus while working on SNL. I'm glad to hear that your heart hasn't been hardened toward the lost!
Good for you VJ, Thank you for protecting my family from this film of "poor taste". I really wish the TV producers and film makers would really get it and create some great TV shows and movies instead of looking for the quick buck and the "big weekend".
Great TV shows have been canceled not because they did not make a profit, because they did not make enough of a profit. Subjects are being looked over for the quick laugh and fast $$$$. Thank you for standing up for your right as a viewer and leaving that movie, one that i will avoid as well.
I had no idea it was PG13, especially with the F-bomb at the beginning. Luckily, the wife and I never intended to bring our teen boys.
Of course, we had a different experience, and laughed our buns off throughout the entire movie. Different strokes, I guess…
What would EllenD know about being funny? Just because she's not "vulgar" doesn't mean her humor is all that…
Victoria Fatson walked out of Year One "crying" because the theatre was all out of super-sized extra-buttered popcorn!
She left crying because she hasn't been employed in anything meaningful by Hollywood (or probably anywhere else) since the turn of this century!
But those movies were FUNNY crude comedies, as opposed to the steaming t*rd Year One looks like…
Jan Hooks was way better and funnier and cooler; why not bring HER back???
How often has Apatown gotten political? Anyway, I'd still blame Year One mostly on Harold Ramis *sigh*, seeing as her directed and co-wrote this mistake…as for Judd A., even the worst thing he's done pwns the best movie Martin Lawrence has crapped out!
Probably because she ate up their whole supply!
You all are truly living the Word of the Lord.
Don't feel bad Victoria. There's lots of people in the US that are from the same planet as you. Why do you think so many Hollywood films have been flopping and showing up on DVD within 2 months lately.
We're all tired of the crap.
What a refreshing reaction to what sadly has become commonplace in our culture. Thank you for speaking out, Ms. Jackson.

I dunno what the big deal is. The movie was hilarious! And, I don't think "god" would mind. I'm pretty sure even he had a sense of humor! Maybe she should have gone with us. We laughed from the opening scene and all the way through the end credits (cos they had bloopers during the credits). Very, VERY, funny movie!
If you're a religious fanatic than you might not enjoy it. In which case, you should be going to church not the movie theater!

Victoria Jacksonwas a big ditzy clown on SNL. Who knew she was even worse in real life? Hopefully she too will feel the wrath of the GOP like Sarah Palin has.
I saw the movie as well, and I agree that it was terrible. I was surprised, as I am usually a fan of Ramis' movies (even the weaker ones, like My Super Ex-Girlfriend or Evolution, which have a certain charm to carry them through clunky movie cliches). That said, I am very confused by this movie review. First, the only way that I can interpret your comment that the creators are "lost" is that they are Jewish an therefore misguided and immoral. Second, it sounds as though you prostituted yourself for the sake of fame, then claim this is your badge of authority. As a moral and ethical person myself, I believe it is important not to compromise my principles in pursuit of my ambitions. I must also ask which would be the more immoral course–to act improperly under misguided principles, or to do so knowing I was debasing myself and my values? I believe it is the latter. I should also add that my only memories of Ms. Jackson were as an SNL member whose primary character was a blond bimbo, dressed in scantily clad outfits, and engaging in various sexual calisthenics for laughs. People in glass houses, as the saying goes…
Victoria,
I liked you on Saturday Night Live and I like you even more now. It is fantastic that you, a celebrity, is willing to listen to the Holy Ghost and look at your feelings and walk out of a movie because you have moral integrity and a conscience. I am very impressed. I have had to do this in several movies and what I find is that when I do people follow and have even said thank you to me because they didn't want to look bad but because of my example they felt the courage to do it too. Way to go. I applaud you and am happy to know that you stand for your values.
P.S. A great website to use to prevent this is http://www.screenit.com. My wife and use it before every movie.
Thanks so much, Victoria. I felt the same way while sitting through "Whatever Works". While we weren't visually subjected to the bloody bowels of a sheep, we did hear about a "guy back home doing it" with one of our woolly friends ("back home", of course, referring to the bigoted, Jesus-loving, Bible-thumpin', one-tooth grinnin' south) . And I can completely understand why you cried. My husband asked me why I was that disturbed after the movie (I wasn't crying, but I was passionate), and I told him it made me sad to think that so many people were going to see it and think the message was right on the money. I was grieving, in a way.
Dana, while I don't want to be so presumptuous as to "speak" for Victoria, I will say that I don't believe she was equating "lost" with "Jewish". I really don't. The fact that the writers may or may not have been Jewish is inconsequential. She was basically trying to "excuse" the material because whoever was responsible for presenting it apparently felt no sense of accountability before God (I felt the same way during "Whatever Works"). I also believe that she prefaced the meat of the article by filling us in on her past to let us know she was not coming from a place of moral perfection.

Victoria, As a mother to a daughter who has begun to feel the conviction of the Spirit, and as a woman who is also not of this world but in it, and as a former actress who left University due to the requirements of me that went against my conscience, THANK YOU. Thank you for warning us of the grotesque nature of this film. My children love Jack Black. He was Po, in Kung Fu Panda, and on Yo Gabba Gabba recently, so they have been exposed to him in ways better suited for children. My husband and I think that he, like many of your former cast members, is quite funny. However, we must see the comedy for what it truly is and compare that message to Scripture.
Love you, Victoria. Sorry you and A. had to see that. So glad to know I'm not the only soft-hearted prude out there. We'll stand by you!!
ARTHUR GODFREY???????????
You forgot to mention that nude scene you did in "Casual Sex' with Lea Thompson and Andrew Dice Clay.
I am by no means trying to insinuate you are a lying hypocrite, so please don't make that assumption.
I am just pointing out that you neglect to mention that you did a nude scene in a film called "Casual Sex". In the nude.
I just stumbled onto this website today (9/21/2009). Man! I totally agree with Victoria's assessment. There was a crop of guys with real talent in this movie, but it was a terrible, degrading piece of filth. Sorry that it ruined Victoria and her daughter's evening as well.
How does jack black still have a career?
Wow . I wish I had met her in 1991. What a babe,
