Summary: awsome
Review: I saw this movie one afternoon on TV several years ago. It was great seeing Ringo again. The movie has some funny moments but also drags at times. I bought CAVEMAN when it became available on DVD. I laughed a few times but it wasn't as funny as I remembered. The movie features Ringo, Shelly Long(Cheers) and Dennis Quaid. A few other familiar faces pop up during the movie. If you a Beatle fan or a Ringo fan, this movie belongs in your collection.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: I love this movie
Review: I'll admit, it's pretty stupid in some ways. But as long as you have a sense of humor, this movie is great. My favorite part is the music scene. The cavemen have a vocabulary of about twenty words, but they do just fine. I wish there was a sequel.

Summary: Caaaaaavemaaaaaaaan!
Review: I'm not sure why I'm bothering to review Caveman, but what the hay? I haven't seen it since I was a kid and it was a regular on HBO. I recently watched it and still found it amusing. This was made in a time when you could get away with making films like this: THE 80s! Only in the 80s could a director walk up to a Hollywood exec and say, "I'd like to make a comedy about cavemen with Ringo Starr as the lead", and get funding for it. You can tell this film has a decent budget, not huge, but it's not a low budget film. If memory serves(I was very young, remember), Quest For Fire came out before this or right around the same time, and I guess this film was supposed to be kind of a spoof or flipside to that film. The humor in Caveman is quite juvenile(naturally), but it does get clever and pretty funny in some places. Unfortunately it's not as funny as it was when I was a kid. And how did they get Ringo Starr to be in this film?

Summary: Zillion Years Ago
Review: If you want to see what life was like One Zillion Years ago on October 9th, then this movie is for you.

We have Atouck (Ringo Starr) that is kicked out of his tribe for wanting Lana (Barbara Bach) who is the tribe chief's (John Matuszak) girl. He meets up with his old friend Lar (Dennis Quaid) and meets new ones to include Tala (Shelley Long) and they all learn the secrets of fire, the finer art of cooking, and how we learned to walk upright.

Most of the movie's dialog is nothing more than grunts and groans except for the Chinese guy, he speaks English, or course.

A wonderful and funny movie.

The DVD contains both the Widescreen and Standard version.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I wouldn't give him a naked little statue but.....
Review: It has always boggled my mind that more Producers have not taken advantage of the acting talents of Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr). After his excellent stints in the Beatle movies where he outshone the others, and a forgetten but excellent job in Paul McCartney's "Give My Regards To Broadstreet", there is no doubt that Ringo can act as well as he can keep time.

The movie was diabolically clever, a script of 16 words and a simple wardrobe inticed some young actors who over time have proven to be smart. Well ok, Shelley left Cheers way early, but she's still seems smart other than that.

Ringo is an outcast Caveman, bullied by the bigger Cave people who joins with other outcasts to form a new tribe. Overtime they survive and overcome, somewhat predictably, the bullies, but it's really fun ride to a predictable ending.

In the ice age scene look for Night Court baliff Richard "Bull" Moll as the ice monster. He deserves an award for that one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Monty Python could have done this better
Review: More stupid then funny outing with RIngo Star making fun of the caveman/dinosaur films of the 1940's. The jokes however are cheap and this film is so bad, it's Bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as Hell
Review: One of the funniest movies ever!! You'll be laughing the whole way through!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Damn, the only thing that's missing is the extras!
Review: One of the most orginal comedies is now coming to DVD and not a moment to soon. Everything from the discorvery of Mary Jane, to the 1st hand shake, to the invetion of music....everything is well placed and, if not laugh out loud funny, it will put a smile on your face.

Ringo Starr, Dennis Quiad, and Shelly Long all star as the outcasted cavemen who start off and start there own civilazition with members of another tribe.

One let down was the exclusion of a Dictionary. When in theaters, the moviegoers got a little dictinary to interptate the words because they are all made up(other that the Japaness guy who speaks english...lol) is one thing that I wished they had included here.

Well, at lest we have a good long lost comedy on DVD and here's hopeing of a Speacial Ed. later on.
