Capone straps on his loin cloth to review the hit-and-miss Year One

Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here. Baffling. That's the first and last word that pops into my head when I contemplate Harold Ramis' biblical comedy YEAR ONE, a bizarre throwback of a movie that feels like the Mel Brooks movie that Brooks never actually got around to making.
