" Director: Les Mayfield His 1st movie My 4th movie (somehow) watched from the director This is clearly from people who have very little experience with directing, writing, and editing. The high concept is actually good, but the execution was a misfire in an all categories. Strangely people blamed Pauly Shore, but he is actually the only funny part about the movie. Not all of his stuff lands, but he makes it watchable. I also happen to be a fan of his other work, I may not be a snob? Ad"

DVD Pickups Fall/Winter 2022 (45 movies items)

"Encino Man is one of those teen movies from the early 90's that's just endlessly rewatchable. Brendan Fraser just killing it this year with this and School Ties. I also think this might be the first real break out movie for Pauly Shore doing his signature character. Either way it's currently not available on Blu-ray, so it needs to be in the collection."

"Pros: Lame and silly, yet harmless -- and VERY "90's" (case in point: there's a montage set to "I'm Too Sexy"); Sean Astin makes a convincing dork (even if he doesn't really look like a teenager); the obviously choreographed dance at the end. Cons: Pauly Shore; annoying lines such as "Don't wheeze the juice!"; it's a movie about two high school geeks who find a caveman in a backyard and manage to pass the caveman off as an exchange student (with none of their parents or teachers ever suspecting"
