I definitely recommend to watch this if you love comedy movies. If you are into adventure movies check out "The mummy", You won't regret it. "Hollywood studios" has the most entertaining movies.

This film is not exactly like it, but is similar to "Eegah"! In fact, the young Richard Kiel looked very similar to Brandon Fraser :) . Both feature a prehistoric cave man in California deal with the modern world as well. I'm not saying it's a straight copy, but is it possible that the person who wrote this film have seen "Eegah"? Good film, in any case...

That was my first thought after I saw this movie. The story is extremely ridiculous, the comedy in the movie...well, was there any? Anyway I don't want to say very much of this movie, that would be a very useless waste of my time.

This movie is too unrealistic for me. I mean, they couldnt have possibly found a caveman buried for 100,000 years or so in a pool only 20ft deep! If they were to find something like that they would have had to dig pretty deep to find anything that extreme. And also, how could he have possibly been alive, in the first place?? His teeth in good shape? He would have been withered to the bone much less than ALIVE. Ok, I know I'm being cynical, but please!! Pure Amatureville in movie making!

Encino Man (known as California Man over here) is a simple, straightforward comedy about a couple of high-school losers who think they have found their claim to high school fame and popularity. The film takes a simple idea then gives it a fairly radical plot twist with the inclusion of an ice age caveman (played by the energetic Brendan Fraser) frozen underground until discovered by Dave (Sean Astin) whilst digging a back-yard pool. Although the film had possibilities for some hilarious set pieces and situations it fails to capitalise and you are left with the feeling of a somewhat half-hearted effort. Not to get me wrong, I did enjoy this film, and I believe it would be fairly difficult not to, but it is just lacking something that could make it stand out from the crowd. Overall an enjoyable film let down by some failed opportunities.

Well contrary to popular belief of the male population...i thought this was one of the most brilliant movies of all time...it was hilarious.....insanely rad. I guess I am what you would call a man's girl though. I love movies like this(Office Space, Dumb and Dumber,Bio-Dome).......very quirky...humor that you don't have to read into, very blunt and obnoxious...i love it!...And besides that, Pauly Shore is a god! I must say that this movie is a must see...if you haven't seen it, see it as soon as possible. I must agree with the previous commenter though, most gals wouldn't like it. It's kinda sexist...but that's cool with me, as long as it's funny, and this movie is funny....my favorite part is where they staple Sean Astin to the wall and pull the fire alarm....pure genius folks, pure genius.

But who tf likes Pauly Shore? Maybe it's because I was born in the 90s and didn't experience his popularity growing up but he is very annoying in this movie.

I liked this film, and I recommend seeing it on TV. Brendan Fraiser was hot! I thought it was okay though, I liked it but I didn't LOVE it. That's why I gave it a 5/10. Go read other comments about it then you'll get the real picture on this film. I'd give it a try and watch the film. Especially if you think Brendan is hot!! I do!! But I hated that Butthead DaVe, who made it that the only thing he wanted to do in his life was become popular and the director got the wrong actor and that maybe some of the dialog and actions couldn've used some change. The bad decision making teen senior DAve (Sean Astin) and the weirdo-lamo Pauly Shore been there dun dat man was good for its time or the year it was made(1992).
