Raul Faust Well, a movie from the nineties starring Brendan Fraser is surely nothing to be taken seriously, and "Encino Man" just proves why. In here, we have two teenagers that achieve in rising a caveman, in order to try to become popular in their school; teenagers... The plot is full of teen movie clichés, but that is something totally expected from this kind of picture. What makes it occasionally interesting is the relationship between these young boys, which is full of youth desires. On the other hand, the comical aspect of this isn't well executed, reason why I don't remember having a single laugh while watching it. If you like this kind of entertainment, especially those made in the nineties, I'd recommend you 1992's "Stop! Or my mom will shoot, which is a better choice, even if not perfect as well.

capone666 Encino ManThe fortunate thing for a caveman in contemporary California is restaurants already carter to his Paleolithic diet.Mind you, the modern early-man in this comedy would prefer pizza to roots.Excavating his parents' backyard, high school loser Dave (Sean Astin) and his friend Stoney (Pauly Shore) uncover an Ice Man.When he thaws, the duo clean him up, christen him Link (Brendan Fraser) and take him to school as an exchange student.And while Link's antics land Dave and Stoney the popularity that they so desperately crave before Prom, it costs Dave his crush (Megan Ward), and Stoney his best friend.Despite its feeble fish out of the Stone Age storyline, Encino Man's bevy of affable characters and laughable situations help it evolve from a lame to a lovable farce.Nevertheless, missing links shouldn't be at school all-day. They should be at the museum reenacting their lives twice every hour.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.com

david-sarkies This is a somewhat predictable Hollywood movie about two high school students. They start off as unpopular nerds and finish as popular. The ending is even mostly predictable at the beginning. Dave is digging a pool and his dream is that he get with his childhood sweetheart and have a huge party at his house after the prom. The problem with this is that he is unpopular and that the girl he likes is dating another guy, who is the toughest in the school. Things change when they uncover a cave man after an earthquake brings him up.This movie is about popularity and how people crave it. Dave is the focus and he is the one that wants the popularity, and he sees Link, the caveman, as his key. It comes to the point where this creates a wedge between him and Link. Link is popular, but he doesn't bring the popularity to him, and this is what he resents. He does grow though, and he comes to realise that popularity isn't everything, and it is not what he does, or who he knows, but who is his. Link simply does what he likes and generally doesn't care what others think.This is a fun movie, and the character of Link is actually quite deep in an unusual way. One wouldn't expect the character of a cave man to be deep, but he is. He is trapped in a strange world alone and this shows. Moreso, he doesn't go for any woman, even though they throw themselves at him. Rather he wants the woman he left behind and doesn't betray her memories by going after another woman.Stoney is the other main character and he is simply out to show Link a good time. Dave considers him irresponsible, but that is because Stoney's agenda does not line up with Dave's agenda. Stoney at first didn't want to help Link, but the more he got to know him, and showing him things, the more he began to appreciate things. Dave wants fame and money, Stoney simply doesn't care. He hangs around Dave because Dave really wants friends and will take anybody.I guess this is a good movie, and what it shows is that popularity isn't everything. Link was friends with everybody, and this is how he lasted. People are so clicky, especially Dave. He wanted to be in the in crowd, and rejected everybody else. Link didn't care and he befriended everybody, and as such he became popular. When Dave accepted this he found that he was already popular.It is interesting to see how Dave and the popular guy are very similar. Everybody knows this guy was a possessive jerk, and he lost the girl halfway through the movie, but we could see that Dave's self centeredness also made him a jerk. The thing is that Dave overcame this, while the popular guy was shown up to be what he really was like. Dave's highschool ended on a high, while the other guy crashed and burned.
