Encino Man
High school misfits Stoney and Dave discover a long-frozen primeval man buried in their backyard. But the thawed-out Link—as the boys have named him—quickly becomes a wild card in the teens' already zany Southern California lives. After a shave and some new clothes, Link's presence at school makes the daily drudgery a lot more interesting.

i must have seen a different film!!
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Three out of ten stars is me being generous. Its taking me a long time to watch Encino Man, like I'm watching it in bits, not so as to absorb each scene and get the most out of my viewing, but rather I watch it in fits because it sucks to watch Encino Man. It sucks, and yet I am compelled to finish it. It's not a very long movie, I mean it's not some six hour epic, but Lord, it is a real challenge to get all the way through. I was alive and fully conscious when this movie first came out and it was ubiquitous through-out those years, yet I never saw all of the movie, some various element or agent of circumstance stopped me. Even now, when Encino Man is on Netflix and I am trying to watch it all the way through for God-knows-what-reason, I still can't finish it--I have twelve minutes left of movie to watch, longest f*cking twelve minutes of my life.
Pauly Shore and Sean Astin star as a couple of nerdy geeks who find a frozen caveman (Brendan Fraser) in Astin's backyard while attempting to put in a swimming pool. After thawing him out, things REALLY heat up! Between school and time at the mall, Fraser gets a crash course in today's world.If you're a fan of Pauly Shore, then get "Son-In-Law." In my mind, the real star of this movie was Fraser, but, if you're interested in him as an actor, then you'd better be prepared to WATCH this film and not just listen to it, as Fraser's gags and gimmicks are all sight gags. But, because of him, the two dorks are worth putting up with (not like they were to the rest of their classmates in the film).I like Shore! I loved him in "Son-In-Law," but this side of him, to me, got a tired after the first five minutes of the film. I never was a big fan of Astin, but he's tolerable as the one who wants to use Fraser as the rungs in climbing the social ladder at school.7 out of 10 stars.
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.
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.
