Review of Teenage Caveman (2002) by Tyrone H — 25 Mar 2011
Despite the wooden acting, shoddy effects, b-movie values and soft core pornography, I actually enjoyed this...or maybe it was becuase of those things. I haven't watched Kids so I don't really get Larry Clark but this was an enjoyable film with a decent storyline which moves along nicely (except for the breaks for gratuitous nudity and sex) and has some good ideas.
I understand following watching it that it was a TV movie and maybe that explains some of the production values. The story focuses intimately on the wants and beliefs of it's teenage core but also manages to consider larger issues like genetic engineering, religion and how it is often perverted, and the fate of the human race.
If Larry Clark had managed to find better actors who could actually deliver lines of dialogue like they belived in them I would rate this higher as b-movie production values don't put me off a film if the Director gets the essentials (good actors, good script, good plot and ideas) right.
