The story takes place a long, long time ago. Chad (played by Jack Black), who wears animal skins and sloppy hair, and Orr (played by Michael Serra), who doesn't seem to have a bright brain, are hunters in a primitive tribe. The two were expelled because they could not complete their work well. As a result, the two of them became company and embarked on an outlier journey. They traveled from the primitive age to the first year, spoofing the stories in the "Bible: Old Testament" one by one, and engaged in an "absurd and funny" Odyssey. journey of. Along the way, they met a series of biblical characters such as Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Abraham, and witnessed the occurrence of a series of biblical stories. They witnessed the first murder in history, experienced the horror of ancient democracy, and went to the battlefield of ancient Rome dizzy, and Jack Black, who was not handsome by ancient standards, even cast a small wink. Seduce a woman. In the end, they came to the legendary city of Sodom. However, this place seemed to them to be like paradise, so this place was destined to be the end of their journey...

If you don’t understand the biblical story and Western history, It's hard to understand some of the hidden "baggage" in the play. For us, this film is more like an American drama with first year scenes and modern exaggerated life. Just from the unabashed American accent of the characters in the play, it can be seen that funny is the central issue of the play, and everything else can be put aside. As far as the film is concerned, the funny skills of the production team are indeed good.
