Mondo shtuff from around the internet, all about ENCINO MAN!

Encino Man (1992): A pair of high-school dweebs get a chance to become popular when they accidentally unearth a frozen caveman while digging a swimming pool. Amazingly the prehistoric fellow is still alive when he thaws out, forcing the dim-bulbed duo to give him a crash- course in civilization. Sophomoric comedy chaos follows. Occasional moments of humor (mostly in the second half of the film) fail to sufficiently compensate for long slow stretches of tedium.
