Title: Teenage Caveman (2002)
Post by: Andrew on May 30, 2009, 09:27:53 PM
Halfway through this film I began to wonder just how many times the characters said "f**k."  I did not start the movie again to count, but can tell you that this movie is a whole lot of f**k.

I originally had no interest in watching this film whatsoever, and after reading your review I somehow have even less interest.  Thanks for the warning, Andrew!

I have never been able to watch more than 10 or so minutes of this film at a time, always made me wonder if the people making this were aware of just how awful it was going to be.

Out of curiousity, who won the battle in the end and what happened with Sarah.  I watch the film, but sex films aren't my type of film.  That and I don't think my brain could take it before it exploded itself.

Anyways, good review.  The constantly swearing you brought up about the movie and in your review reminds me of the Bud Light commerical where in almost every sentance, someone dropped a f bomb.

At first, I thought Andrew was talking about the 1958 film by Roger Corman. Now that's a good movie. But this . . . ? I'd rather have a hole drilled into my head and hot sand poured down it, and then watch this travesty again. And giving it a "skull" is giving it too much credit. Can we give it something lower than a "skull?"

And yes that looks like Seattle, Washington. The Space Needle in the background gives it away. And having once lived there, it looked like that before the Apocalypse.
It's all that rain that it gets. It does strange things to a city.

All of those AIP remakes of a few years back were pretty poor. But Teenage Caveman really takes the cake!

I actually felt dirty watching this film the first time.  It was somebody trying to do an edgy film and then realized at the end he had to through in a monster.

What the f**k was with the makers on this movie?? Did they just sit around and say hey there was 1958 movie by Roger f**king Corman. I know, Letis make a f**king remake, and add sex and the word  f**k. F**king Brilliant.

I love this movie!   :wink:  :thumbup:
I even have the Stan Winston toy of the Bumpy Hulk stored away somewhere in a box.

Great review.  Never thought I'd see you write the F-word so much in one spot. 
A skull rating is a bit harsh, don't you think?

Another soul saved!

Out of curiousity, who won the battle in the end and what happened with Sarah.  I watch the film, but sex films aren't my type of film.  That and I don't think my brain could take it before it exploded itself.

David does, and I think that Sarah exploded after they had sex.  At least, that's how I interpreted the ending.  We never see Sarah again, just David dressed up like Neil had been.

What the f**k was with the makers on this movie?? Did they just sit around and say hey there was 1958 movie by Roger f**king Corman. I know, Letis make a f**king remake, and add sex and the word  f**k. F**king Brilliant.

I experienced quite a few "Do I really want to create a review like this?" moments when I was writing the article.  However, after it was over and I looked over it, the result seemed the correctly convey the script's inability to say anything besides "f**k."

The skull was mandatory.  I hate this movie.

I, of course, am fully in favor of profanity. That you do not use profanity is something to be admired because, well, I've read all your reviews. The movies you watch, avoiding profanity is a skill in itself.

Then again, this movie deserves nothing but. I'm just glad I don't have to watch it.

Larry Clark is a terrible filmmaker in my opinion. And Teenage Caveman is his worst to date. Horrible acting all around. Atrocious writing and amateurish direction. If you haven't seen his most controversial film to date called Ken Park yet, don't. He veered over into filming actual hardcore teen sex scenes in that one.  He's nothing but a pervert that somehow keeps being given money to make horrible films.

Watched this garbage last night, absolutely rubbish.  Most dissappointed about the lack of any real caveman/cavewoman action.  After these muppets wake up in that modern apartment it could have been set in modern Seatle or anywhere else for that matter.  Good review however but watch at your peril!

I am a fan of bad movies but this one took the s**t.  I paid $3 for it at Big Lots and I think I wasted $3 and a part of my soul.  Never before has something been so bad and had absolutely zero redeeming factors.  This review should be posted at all websites and stores that sell Teenage Caveman with a warning not to buy this movie under any circumstances.  I think the movie actually tainted my dvd player.  I might have to buy a new one.  I wish I was smart enough to heed the review but I tempted fate and I lost.

This movie feels like Larry Clark filmed ninety minutes of barely legal kids having sex, and someone eventually tapped him on the shoulder and asked "When does the monster come in?" To which Clark asks "Monster? What monster?" Ugh.

I agree.  There is nothing in this that has to do with cavemen.  Cavemen are in prehistoric times.  This movie is in post-apocalypse times.  Sure some people live in a cave, but that doesn't make them cavemen.  Just like if you live in a trailer your not necessarily trailer trash. 

The film is more a softcore/horror film.
