Amusing if poorly scripted stone-age comedy starring Ringo Starr about a band of rejects uniting together experiencing many adventures and discovering some very nifty concepts (like creating fire, walking upright, weaponry, music, fried eggs etc.) The most interesting aspect of this film is that virtually no English is spoken yet the viewer almost fully comprehends what these people are babbling about. Surprising stars along the way may make this worthwhile to film buffs, but Caveman is usually uninspired and overly goofy.
