Encino Man (1992)

When I was in high school my friends and I watched this movie every afternoon for one whole summer. We memorized all the lines and would tell people not to tax our gigs so hard-core, Crusters. I totally disagree that this is a "Man's Movie". I think it's more of a "feel like you're in high school again movie". Brendan Fraser is HOT and if I liked girls, I'd think that the girls were too. Sean Astin's character, Dave, is a geek and will remain a geek because he can't get over his popularity issue. Stoney is cool because he says and does the unexpected. There's all kinds of editing errors and sometimes it doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I don't care. It's super-lame but it's fun to watch and fun to recite and I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. But then again, I could ride the Vapor in reverse all day long...

Fmovies: Encino Man is not just a "man's movie" I think there are many women that will enjoy seeing Branden Fraser go from frozen caveman to hot stud. Pauly Shore is great in this movie.

Two HS students find a frozen caveman in a backyard, do they become friends with him or use him to get a girl the other is interested in? You will see how they "evolve" 'Link' into a somewhat normal student and how Link befriends almost everyone in the school.

Of course you have the 'jock' who is determined to upset it all and bring 'link' down. Not only is it funny but you also have a little suspense - do they get caught or do they pull this whole farce off and get the girl? Am I going to tell you? No you need to get the movie and have a laugh.

Great movie which I enjoy watching and seeing my 9 yr old laugh over also.

This movie is one of my all time favorite comedies and is one of my favorite movies over all of all time. This movie might be hilarious for you, or it could absolutely horrible. What I mean is that some people might like this and some people might not. I just happen to be somebody that loves it. I can understand why people do not like this movie. They probably don't like it because of the story and the acting and the script and the fact that it just isn't realistic. But people like me love this movie because its funny and we think that it could be a believable story. I loved this movie when I was 4 when I first saw it and I am 13 today, and I still love it. I think that it is hilarious. I think that Pauly Shore was funny in this. This isn't like one of his bad movies that he makes all the time. This movie is funny. So, in the end, you might like it, like me, or you might hate it, like most people. I love this movie. It is funny. This was a good movie. 10/10.

Encino Man fmovies. I have loved California Man for a long, long time. Pauly Shore has got to be the favourite, and with his own added 'unique weasel' it just makes the film for me. It seems this is where Brendan Fraser started his usual 'big, dumb, lovable' characters, but still he plays it to perfection. Sean Astin is quite cute in it, but doesn't add that much to the film.

My favourite scene has to be when Stoney and Link go to the Mountain and 'beat up' a guy in a panda costume. Classic.

Of course there's a corny ending but it wouldn't be a teenage feel good movie otherwise.

Do yourself a favour - watch this movie and have a right good laugh.

Excellent light hearted comedy with Brendan Fraser giving an excellent performance and well supported by Pauly Shore. Brendan seems to handle these caveman type roles well, see George of the Jungle, Monkeybones. Good family fun.

On weekends, after a long day of partying, I feel ready for a laugh. So, I put ENCINO MAN in the VCR and laugh myself silly. I have seen this movie so many times, that I could probably mimic the entire thing. Pauly Shore is a riot. And even better that they have him casted as a high school student. He's about ten years out of high school. But he is what makes the movie. Brendan Fraser wasn't really known all that well when he made this one. It pretty much began his career. See this if you are in a mood where everything seems funny to you. Those are the kinds of moods that make you pass out from laughing too hard. This one is definitely good for a laugh.....5/5.
