    One of my guilty pleasures.

    There are plenty of funny moments, but it's the creatures that really steal the film. They're all animated by stop-motion and have the most ridiculously bulging golf-ball eyes.This movie is also almost entirely dialogued in "Caveman-ish" Apart from one scene, there's no English s...( read more)poken at all. 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, 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. Dennis Quaid and John Matuszak sure were good-looking guys and able to handle comedy well. It's interesting considering the "reality" of the film.
