Review: Long before The Mummy...long before The Lord of the Rings...Brendan Fraser and Sean Astin appeared in a silly movie called Encino Man -- along with crazy perpetual teenager Pauly Shore. And long before I grew up and got married and worried about my career, this was one of my favorite movies. And, as I recently discovered, it still is. Astin and Shore play Dave and Stoney, two high school kids who dig up a frozen caveman (Fraser) while trying to dig a pool in Dave's back yard (in an attempt to graduate from high school as two popular guys...guys who the girls find irresistible...guys who somehow convinced their parents that it was okay to dig a big hole behind their expensive California home). The caveman thaws, and Dave and Stoney turn him into a buff California high school student -- who, as far as anyone knows, is Linkavich (Link, short for Missing Link), an exchange student from Estonia. The plan, as Dave sees it, is to use their caveman to pick up chicks -- especially Robin, the girl of his dreams. But it all backfires when the girls start falling for Link instead... Okay, I'll admit that this movie is unrealistic and totally ridiculous. But that's exactly why I love it. After watching it again -- for the first time in years -- I still laughed so hard that I almost fell off my chair. And I was reminded that many of the silly quotes that I still recite repeatedly originally came from this movie (and, believe me, there are plenty of great lines to choose from). Despite the fact that I've grown up (or at least grown older), I still like it as much as I did eleven years ago -- and I'm proud to say that it's the newest DVD in my collection.

Summary: Groove to the Stone age, Buddy!
Review: Pauly Shore and Lord of the Ring's Sean Astin with Brendan Fraser star in this hilarious and fun comedy about a Prehistoric Caveman being thawed out from a million years and now in modern California after being discovered by a couple of teenage slackers but both must decide to make the Encino man, a modern man. Suprisingly greatg, funny and entertaining comedy with great jokes including Pauly Shore's " Weasing the Juice" line, this movie is a guaranteed good time. Also recommended: Bio-Dome, In The Army Now, Jury Duty, Wayne's World, Austin Powers.

Summary: One star for each laugh in the movie
Review: Sadly enough, if you were only comparing this movie to today's teen movie drivel it would rate five stars. Nevertheless, Pauly Shore is annoying (and looks frightenly feminine in several scenes), Sean Astin's character is so pathetic that he becomes an antagonist, and the plot drifts between non-existent and unbelievable (to the point where it interferes with your ability to enjoy the movie). Frasier is the only redeeming quality...you can tell he's having fun and it's fun to watch him in the process. Too bad his character didn't get rid of Shore and Astin when he first met them.

Summary: Why this movie was allowed to see the screen, I don't know
Review: The acting was horrible, the lines were lame and the overall effect makes Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler's movies look really well written and acted. The only reason I went when the movie opened, was because my girl scout troop had gotten free passes. Even if I like Brendan Fraiser (whose better works include School Ties and Back to the Past)I could not bear to sit through this catastrophe. Even as it delivers an unintentional slap in the face to anti-darwinists (the caveman darwinizes to the modern world)and vindicates the school outcasts in one movie, there were far too many other holes to enjoy this movie. The idea that parents could be that ailenated and/or oblivous to the fact that their "foregin exchange" student has manners like a savage goes beyond belief. Nobody seems to care how Link arrived at the house or the fact that he is never heard once speaking in a language that would be considered 20th century international (ie German, French, Spanish, Italian etc...) Many years latter, I still feel really sorry for people who are expecting to get a halfway decent picture while renting this movie.

Summary: Encino Man
Review: The concept is, of course, totally unrealistic, that a caveman could be frozen for thousands of years, and still survive when thawed out. But that doesn't stop the viewer from having a great time watching. It takes a little while to understand Pauly Shore's Encino slang, but he definitely steals the show. Trivia note: the mother (Mariette Hartley) played the part of an ice age woman in the old Star Trek TV show. She was the woman that rescued Bones and Spock from the cold, and Spock fell in love with her.

Summary: DAVE!
Review: This is truly one of the greatest movies of all time. It's witty comedy defined the year 1992 and raised the bar for all other comedies. Brendan Frasier's stellar performance as a caveman was so convincing that I didn't believe it was him in other movies.
