    I remember seeing this in the cinema, it was called California Man over here though. It?s a fun slice of early 90?s America youth culture. It wasn?t really like that, just in film, although some of the hair cuts are familiar!

    Saw this when I was pretty young so that might explain the crush on Brendan Fraser. It was funny for back then but I dunno about now. Just your average stupid plot movie.

    This is one of those classic teen comedies from the early 90's. Stars Brendan Fraser, Sean Astin and Pauly Shore. About these two teenagers who find a caveman frozen in ice and revive him. They then intergrate him in to high school to make them popular. Of course this is a silly ...( read more)story. But it is a fun movie. Brendan Fraser is great as the caveman. Made me laugh a few times. The film has a great young cast. One of those mindless fun films to watch for entertainment.
