Synopsis: A couple of teenagers thaw out a caveman and try to integrate him into modern society.
The Good: It’s fun and irreverent and hits all the classic tropes. The cast is actually amazing, Sean Astin, Brendan Fraser, Pauly Shore and even a grown up but still very young Ke Huy Quan. There’s plenty to smirk at and I’ll probably do the Weasel voice for a few days now.
The Bad: It’s pretty cookie cutter and beyond the premise doesn’t bring anything new.
Best Line: If you’re edged ’cause I’m weazin all your grindage, just chill. ‘Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin’ at my pad, I’d go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster.’
Fun Fact: In the scene where Brendan Fraser is eating out of the dog bowl, he is actually eating Cookie Crisp.
Verdict:
Technical: 5.5
Entertainment Value: 6.5
Genre Rating: 6.75
IMDb Score: 5.8
