Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr plays a prehistoric, social outcast who, along with other misfits, forms his own tribe and finds various comic adventures. This spoof is mostly without dialogue besides the expected neanthropic grunt. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It has a basic problem, which is that there is no popular original material for it to satirize.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
All of this is handled ingeniously enough to let the movie feel colorful and whole, though it could so easily have been nothing but farfetched.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Even your typical neanderthal will find this spoof beneath him.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
[An] occasionally funny film.
-
Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is
the worst former-beatle-tryin'-to-rape-a-woman movie ever
