Anderson from one of my favorite comedies License to Drive, plays a the father of Dave in this film acting pretty much like he did in that movie. The film relies on a lot of nineties comedy clichés and doesn't really attempt to be fresh in anyway, but like I said before, I'm a sucker for these eighties and nineties buddy films.

Dave wanted to ask Robyn to prom, but what stands in his way is a heartless jock named Matt played by DeLuise, who utters one of "the greatest movie insults of all time" according to a Youtube video. The caveman, now named Linkavich "Link" Chomofsky Fraser now interacts with the world around him as Dave and Stoney take him to school.Dave's dreamgirl Robyn Sweeny Ward is wooed by Link and starts to like him. They leave him in the garage with the heat cranked up to thaw him out. Talk about bad century after bad century.The plot: Two high school outcasts named Dave and Stoney Astin and Shore from Encino, California are attempting to construct a pool in Dave's backyard when they come across a caveman frozen in a block of ice. He has to live through High School after being frozen for several hundred years. Makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it? If you were a caveman, frozen for hundreds of years, and you thawed and came back to life, wouldn't you want to explore the world at it's fullest instead of being lead around a high school by two bumbling teenagers? I almost feel bad for the guy. The downside is so much more could've been done with this plot.The film doesn't take the most realistic route even though the plot is already unrealistic. Throw Feldman in the picture and replace Pauly in would be a great film. Sean Astin, at this time, looked a lot like Corey Haim. I also enjoyed the fact that the underdogs were the protagonists here.To give you a ballpark comparison, it's au pair with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The other actors are also good, there's great dialogue, and the babes are babe-alicious. Man seems to be set in atavistic struggle against pre-human and stoner dude, but luckily they eventually find their moral bearings: the humans learn the benefits of sticking together from their thawed-out friend, and the cro-magnon learns to go "halfies" on his microwave burrito.Like I said, I really enjoyed Pauly Shore here. This goes terribly awry when the hunky pre-human becomes a hit with the ladies.
Two likable social dropouts find a stone age survivor in their back yard, and decide to smuggle him into their school in order to heighten their own peer standing. Luckily, the pretty goofy plot doesn't put it in harm's way. I see a lot of comedic and dramatic talent in him, and it's a shame that he seems to have fallen out of favour recently.Anyway, the movie. When I read that he comes from a family of comedians, I wasn't surprised.
His figure is not just funny and dude-ish, but also eccentric and frail almost a bit camp. The stoner-surfer-dude has been done ad nauseam in high-school comedies, but Pauly Shore is the stoner-surfer-dude to rule all other stoner-surfer-dudes. One-trick-comedian, but at least at he's the godfather of this one trick.
