Review of Encino Man (1992) by Jordan K — 15 Sep 2013
Encino Man is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Ok, maybe it's not that bad, but it was so awful that I stopped an hour in. One of the awfully cliched teen movies of the early 90s that tries to blend in Bill and Ted and Wayne's World humor and miserably fails.
The story's pretty simple. Sean Astin and Pauly Shore find a frozen caveman (Brendan Fraser) in their backyard and try to hide him from their parents, get him adjusted to modern day lifestyles, etc. It's surfer dude humor from there, and there wasn't one moment when I laughed. Of course, any sane person wouldn't ever really laugh at a movie with Pauly Shore. A definite one to skip. For fans of REAL humor, you'll hate Encino Man for sure.
