Homo Erectus (2007)

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Ishbo is an unsuccessful caveman. He yearns for the gorgeous Fardart, but his successful brother Thudnik steps in and grabs her for himself. But Ishbo hasn't given up on Fardart.An eclectic cast includes Ali Larter as Fardart, David Carradine as the tribe chief and Ishbo's father, and Talia Shire as his mother, with Gary Busey as a rival tribe leader, with Carol Alt, Tom Arnold and Lin Shaye in assorted other roles. Wow, what an eclectic cast! Ishbo is played by Adam Rifkin, who also wrote and directed.There is a problem here, in that Rifkin has written, directed and starred in a comedy which, unfortunately, is not even slightly funny in any respect whatsoever. Rifkin plays Ishbo as Woody Allen without the trademark tics, but that doesn't make his performance funny despite his hilarious (by which I mean "not hilarious") wearing of spectacles. To be fair, the script doesn't give him much of a chance since none of the gags are actually funny. Given who wrote the screenplay, there is only one person to blame: Adam Rifkin.Poundland had this on its shelves, priced at, yes, one pound. That is precisely two pounds more than it is worth. I award it 3 out of 10 - one for boobage, one for Ali Larter looking good in cavewoman gear, and one for creating some on-screen production values out of what is clearly a minimal budget.

If it weren't for the star of this trash – if you can call him that – Adam Rifkin, the movie would be a solid 1 star, instead, it got an extra ½ star to 1½ out of 5. His humor, dead on lines – for the most part – actually made some of this film watchable. Loved the glasses. Everything about him and his character succeeded. But though I thoroughly enjoyed (only) Final Destination 1 and 2, Ali Larter was so weirdly placed in this extremely predictable prehistoric love story/comedy. Not that one can expect much from anything that starts with "National Lampoon's…whatever." (Please insert your best caveman voice-over for the following warnings) Humor bad! Graphics Bad! Acting Bad! Dialogue Bad! Renting it Bad!

As a huge Giuseppe Andrews film (easily the best director making movies today), I often wondered, "What would happen if Tyree (a star in many of his films) crossed over to a 'major' motion picture?" While this isn't really a MAJOR motion picture, it is certainly the biggest budget movie Tyree has ever been in, and he's absolutely hilarious! I just wanted more Tyree, more!!! His "Old Fool" is one of the best characters ever! Andrews and Dougal were hilarious, as usual, as was Adam Rifkin! The creator of classics "Psycho Cop 2", "Invisible Maniac", and "The Dark Backward"... didn't realize he was such a charismatic, memorable, and funny actor too! This movie, all in all, is beyond stupid and I didn't laugh that much, and most people will probably hate it. But if you're a Giuseppe Andrews fan, this is worth watching. Now if we could only get Vietnam Ron in the sequel!

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...ORIf you really want to watch a movie about prehistorical times, see '10.000 B.C.', that's a real fine movie...
