Year One garners mixed reactions, with some finding humor in its playful take on biblical stories and others criticizing its execution and reliance on lowbrow humor. Despite notable performances, the film struggles to deliver a coherent and engaging storyline, often feeling scattered and underwhelming. It represents a missed opportunity to blend historical satire with meaningful comedy, leaving it as a divisive figure in the comedy genre.
