Description: Caveman is a 1981 slapstick comedy film set in the Stone Age. The promotional tagline of "back when you had to beat it before you could eat it..." pretty much sums up the kind of humor one might expect from this flick. The plot centers around Atouk, who is disgraced and cast out of his tribe for lusting after Lana, the mate of the tribe’s head muscle man, as he stumbles along gathering other misfits and learning a bit about the world outside of his cave. Eventually he and friends Lar and Tala learn the secrets of fire, cooked meat, and how to defend themselves from the brutal, yet very stupid dinosaurs. The film was poorly received overall, but even the harshest of critics admitted that it had it's moments.
