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.

One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. For some reason I tried to watch it twice, to see if maybe I was missing something, but it only got worse. Rifkin is a horrible actor and his 'jokes' are consistently puerile. Possibly of interest to horny, bored pubescent boys home sick for the day. Any good review this pile of trash receives obviously comes from someone involved with it. Any attempt to associate this with Woody Allen or even Mel Brooks is asinine!! How did this ever get made?? Obviously Busey, Carradine and Arnold were desperate for the cash.
I think this is the maddest I've ever been at wasting my time on a movie. Not even bad-good enough to rate as a cult classic! The shame is there's obviously talented, truly creative people out there who can't get a break because someone's throwing money at crap like this.

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.

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.

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.
