Review of Caveman

Caveman (1981)
7/10
Stealing dinosaurs' eggs
27 April 2006
Even if Ringo was perhaps not the most important member of his famous band, his career as an actor surpassed his former mates with a large point margin. There certainly have been better actors than he, but even so, seeing a familiar face on the screen makes watching the Caveman anyway a moderately attractive item at least. Most of the Stone Age films have been funny even if they were never made to be comedies: seeing animated puppet dinosaurs and listening to Stone Age people talking with silly grunts has usually proved to be too difficult task to perform properly, in case the film was meant to be taken seriously. Caveman does not suffer from this as it was already planned (if anything in it was actually 'planned') to be a goofy parody of ancient humans and their misfortunes. Caveman is content to make parody of a Stone Age film without being a too serious film; not everybody will find it a pleasure because there are no clever jokes at all. More demanding viewers should be warned of puerile humor Caveman has in large amounts, but if you were especially looking for it, try this without hesitation.
