Product Description

Amazon.ca

Brendan Fraser made his film debut in this 1992 comedy that never quite discovers its audience constituency. On the one hand, it features Pauly Shore, which would seem to define the picture's tone and identity accordingly. On the other hand, the film's other leading man is Sean Astin, the earnest star of Rudy, suggesting that Encino Man will have a lot of heart despite its silly premise. But none of that turns out to be true. Fraser plays an unfrozen caveman discovered by a pair of California high school outcasts (Shore and Astin). As the grunting newcomer becomes popular with the other kids, Shore and Astin try to bask in his reflected glow. Fraser, beginning a long movie career playing cartoonish goofballs, works entirely on instinct and earns his laughs. Shore, however, relies on his familiar verbal shtick, and Astin makes a great overgrown puppy pining after a lost girlfriend. Directed by Les Mayfield, who came to this project from his acclaimed documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. --Tom Keogh

Brendan Fraser, Pauly Shore and Sean Astin are hysterically funny in this sometimes poignant Californian high school saga of a 'cave man' thawing out after an earthquake.

3.0 out of 5 stars SWEET AND LIKEABLE Jun 20 2004
By Gregory Saffady
Format:DVD
ENCINO MAN has no agenda, no political statement to make...it's a sweet and likeable film. And I'll bet there are many future PhD's who quoted liberally from this one...and can repeat verbatim the convenience store scene. Sometimes it's great to just sit back and watch one like this.
