Review of Cavegirl

Cavegirl (1985)
1/10
Braindead comedy that is completely devoid of humor. (spoilers)
17 May 2006
Normally, I'd be a big fan of the time-travelling and 80s odd-adventures teen comedies, but this was just plain insulting. And, although it was devoid of most anything I would consider funny, there was no shortage of your standard cheap 80s T & A, including playful locker room romp with our geek and oft-pranked hero.

Daniel Roebuck, who never seemed to have an eye for good material (or may have never been offered much of it, with the exception of The River's Edge), plays our nerdy protagonist. A teen brain, he joins his classmates on some archaeological field trip and, thanks to his frequent taunters, loses the group and inadvertently stumbles upon an Air Force experiment which sends him back in time to the age of the cave man. Of course, already being amateur hour to begin, he finds a cave girl (complete with cave girl bikini ensemble and shiny white teeth) and does what anyone would do if suddenly sent back in time -- he teaches her the English commands that would get him laid.

Bottom line: if it's the nudity you get off on, then you'll likely be satisfied with even watching this crap on mute. If these are the kind of adventure tales which you seek, production values be damned, I would recommend digging for better low-budget titles like 'My Science Project.'
