Convinced that cave-dwelling beauty Fardart (Ali Larter) would fall for him if he could only come up with something truly revolutionary,

Thanks to natural selection, without the script, direction or comedic chops to survive, Homo Erectus will be extinct from theaters soon enough.

Primitive in all the wrong ways.

A dreadful little laugh vacuum that makes you yearn for the droll subtlety of Ringo Starr.

Early Woody Allen flicks come to mind but without the laughs.

...about as silly as a film can get and still not be funny.

The best prehistoric comedy of the year. Some terrific cameos.

None of this is especially funny, though Rifkin has somehow managed to persuade a whole lot of women to get topless and vaguely hold our attention.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not even one chuckle. Only redeeming value it has is a split second glimpse of my favourite porn star topless getting hit in the head with a club. Fuck this movie.

I know, I know, National Lampoon hasn't made a good movie since the early nineties, but the only reason the National Lampoon name is on it is because it's the only way Adam Rifkin could get it released.
