Review:
When you need a good laugh and want to have a good time, sit down with some popcorn and soda and pop in Caveman. The movie came out in 1981, so the cinematography and so called "CGI" is horrid, but of course that adds to the hilarity of the movie. The graphics are so cheesy, you can't help but laugh at them. The plot is a recycled idea of the weak guy who wants the girl, and the big guy is in the way, but you'll find a strange twist in the end. There isn't really much room for "acting", as they are portraying cavemen, and speaking a made up caveman language, but for comedy purposes, it works. Enough with the bad criticism, as this movie makes up for it all. You can't help but to laugh the whole way through.This movie is just a lot of fun. The bad graphics and acting just serve to lend to the comedic service this movie gives. It's a classic comedy that you'll watch over and over. When the writer for a movie is Rudy DeLuca, you know your in for a great time.
