It’s a funny, promising broad setup that’s employed to watchable yet somewhat disappointing effect by Mayfield, as the filmmaker, armed with a script by Shawn Schepps, delivers a sluggish comedy that’s rarely, if ever, able to wholeheartedly become the engrossing (and hilarious) endeavor one might’ve anticipated – with the movie’s mostly watchable atmosphere due almost entirely to the efforts of an exceedingly charismatic cast. Directed by Les Mayfield, Encino Man follows buddies Dave (Sean Astin) and Stoney (Pauly Shore) as they dig up a frozen caveman (Brendan Fraser’s Link) and eventually integrate him into their high school lives.
