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.
This movie is a disaster of epic proportions. It's hard to think of one redeeming quality.
The worst part was watching habitual perjurer Whitney Enriquez. Ron Jeremy's acting was like Sir Laurence Olivier compared to Enriquez, who acted more like a meth addict, carpet surfing for crumbs in the carpet.
Ally Carters performance was about the best thing to happen to this film.

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...

A caveman wants more out of life, including his brother's hot wife and leadership of the tribe.
From the number of stars some other reviewers have assigned, I have to think they were associated with the movie in some way. It's just not that funny. The idea is somewhat original, with the caveman theme, but the jokes are totally predictable: cavemen clubbing women, prehistoric animals wreaking havoc, and sight gags like cavemen wearing modern eyeglasses.
It's one of those movies you might watch if it was the only thing on TV late at night when you couldn't go out and get a rental.
The protagonist, Caveman Isbo, has a string of failed inventions and a crush on his brother's hot wife. He can't get the cave women interested in him and his inventions don't spark any interest with the tribe. He does a lot of moping around, trying to solve his problems.
It's a good idea, and almost funny enough to capture your interest, but not quite. If you're into National Lampoon humor you can probably watch it, but it won't be one you recommend to friends.
