Wears out its welcome but there's some very cute physical comedy and homoeroticism in there.

Inasmuch as this movie works, it does so thanks almost entirely to the charm of Brendan Fraser and, to a significantly lesser extent, Pauly Shore.

Although Pauly Shore's acting is pretty atrocious here, it doesn't ruin the movie. No, Encino Man's goofy, comedic plot is squandered by extremely poor writing. The premise of the movie promises a number of potentially hilarious events, but it instead delivers a very mediocre coming-of-age story that isn't worth telling.

(Viewed on 17/7/13):The fact that I resist scoring E.M lower is surely a sign of the pernicious influence that the culture industries had on my adolescence, and the resulting nostalgia prevents me from being truly objective about a film that is, quite frankly, bad. Being only 13, I was the perfect target for this sort of high concept crap that was made cheaply during Disney's brief austerity period, which was even shorter in duration than Shore's movie career. Worth a look for 90's junk addicts.

For a Pauly Shore movie it's actually not horrible, but it has all the mind-numbing bullshit that one can love about Pauly Shore movies. Plus its probably Brendan Frasier's best role. It's really quite funny which is surprising and it has inspired a lot of my vocabulary for the two weeks after watching it.

I spent almost the entire movie wishing for Pauly Shore to be punched hard in the face, but unfortunately that only happened to Sean Astin. The rare few jokes that work come solely from Fraser's physical comedy act. Otherwise dreadfully unfunny.

It's pretty much a harmless-enough buddy comedy, but it parallels Weird Science in a lot of ways, including the way the plot gets confused. Like, first this caveman is the ticket to the main characters becoming popular (which would happen because...?) but by the end it's more like "who needs to be popular anyway?"

This movie is pretty bad, I grew up watching it. Mikey from Goonies is digging himself a pool out back, when he stumbles upon a caveman. Thaw out Brendan Fraser for his best role ever. 90's hilarity ensues as this fish out of water tale stumbles over every cliche an arms length from the director.
