Caveman

1981 · 1h 31m · Comedy, Adventure

IMDb 5.8 Metacritic 55 RT 30%

Unless you're a dedicated cult comedy completist or Ringo Starr superfan, skip this one. The premise is fun and the cast is game, but the critics aren't wrong—those mediocre scores point to a slog that relies on low-brow humor without enough laughs to justify the runtime.

Plot

Disgraced and cast out of his tribe for lusting after Lana, the mate of the tribe's head muscle man, Atouk stumbles along gathering other misfits and learning a bit about the world outside of his cave. Eventually he and friends Lar and Tala learn the secrets of fire, cooked meat, and how to defend themselves from the brutal, yet very stupid dinosaurs.

Director: Carl Gottlieb

Cast: Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long, Jack Gilford, Barbara Bach
