Homo Erectus

Twenty years ago, "National Lampoon" meant the movie was FUNNY; now it's a warning. Be afraid. Be very afraid. "Homo Erectus" is another utterly stupid and unfunny movie from a director KNOWN for stupid unfunny movies.

I didn't laugh once, almost fell asleep, and even Five hundred scenes of naked breasts couldn't even keep me awake. Seriously, there are so many scenes in this movie that were insultingly bad. I kept wanting to yell at the screen!!!!

Basicvally, "Homo Erectus" is nothing more than a limp ripoff of the 1981 comedy "Caveman". Every attempt at humor -- EVERY scene, EVERY "comic" moment -- falls flatter than Ally McBeal's tits. Don't waste your time.

It's a pretty stupid and no-sense movie, although the idea is somehow original (prehistorical movies are fewer than the usual other types) and there's also some fun in it too, but the acting is awful and there's almost no plot!

The funniest part is the main character, Ishbo, the 'wise' caveman :D, who is a lot of a loser but has a few good moments too.

If you have some time and want to KILL IT without any sense, you can watch this movie...

OR

If you really want to watch a movie about prehistorical times, see '10.000 B.C.', that's a real fine movie...

As a huge Giuseppe Andrews film (easily the best director making movies today), I often wondered, "What would happen if Tyree (a star in many of his films) crossed over to a 'major' motion picture?" While this isn't really a MAJOR motion picture, it is certainly the biggest budget movie Tyree has ever been in, and he's absolutely hilarious! I just wanted more Tyree, more!!! His "Old Fool" is one of the best characters ever! Andrews and Dougal were hilarious, as usual, as was Adam Rifkin! The creator of classics "Psycho Cop 2", "Invisible Maniac", and "The Dark Backward"... didn't realize he was such a charismatic, memorable, and funny actor too! This movie, all in all, is beyond stupid and I didn't laugh that much, and most people will probably hate it. But if you're a Giuseppe Andrews fan, this is worth watching. Now if we could only get Vietnam Ron in the sequel!

Sad statement about the current trend of cinema, that some film goers actually enjoy this dreadful "film" from the Adam Rifkin school of schlock.

Rifkin shamelessly imitates Woody Allen (and Mel Brooks, to a lesser extent) in a 90-minute no-laugh-fest with nothing whatsoever for the audience than a parade of female body parts and endless fart jokes.

Not one joke -- NOT ONE -- warrants laughter. This film literally has no redeemable qualities whatsoever. I can't imagine what David Carridine and Gary Busey were thinking when they signed up for this dog. As for Rn Jeremy, there's nothing he could have ever done in his entire career of porn that could be as humiliating as this dumb, stupid, worthless movie.

Only gets 1 star, because IMDb doesn't give the option for Zero.

The story is set in prehistoric times. It is the story of a glasses wearing coward nerd of a caveman who is despised by his clan. He is in love with a pretty cavewoman but she only has eyes for his brute of a brother. The movie is clearly a low budget one. It is not an intelligent movie. It is funny at times. Most jokes are basic but efficient, maybe a bit too scattologic at times. There are some phantasmagoric scenes with sexy half naked cave-women. I did not find the movie boring. It was neither too short nor too long. The violence is not that high. Sexual content makes it maybe not appropriate for a child younger than 9 y.o.
