  Encino Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Encino Man is a 1992 comedy, which was released in the UK, Australia and New Zealand as California Man, featuring actors Brendan Fraser, Sean Astin and Pauly Shore.
The plot revolves around two teenagers from Encino, Los Angeles, California played by Sean Astin and Pauly Shore, who discover a caveman in their backyard frozen in a block of ice.
Brendan Fraser appears as Link, his Encino Man character, in two more Pauly Shore movies, Son in Law and In the Army Now.

 Encino Man
It is definitely a credit to this man's comedic and dramatic talents that this film works as well as it does, because without him, this film would have died immediately after the jokes about acclimatizing a caveman to the modern era were finished.
As this note suggests, Encino Man was released under the name of California Man in Europe, and the credits on the Region 4 DVD release of this film have been altered to reflect this.
Encino Man is a delightful way to spend eighty-five minutes, and even does the task of parking your brain in neutral for you while you're watching it.

 Encino Man
Encino Man is a tired old early ‘90s movie featuring dense characters and illogical situations, all of which revolve around the ridiculous premise of two teens who unearth a caveman and teach him how to be hip.
Pauly Shore was one of the worst actors of the ‘90s, a one-hit wonder whose decline in popularity was as sudden as his inexplicable rise to fame.
In Encino Man, he employs a gimmicky speaking style comprised of stressed syllables, something that became a staple in his subsequent movies (this annoyance may have started with his MTV show, but I’ve never seen it, thank goodness).

 Encino Man
EM has become a synonym for all the bad teen-age flicks of the 90's, but it is better than that, since it has a warm heart, a limited but logical plot, and is suitable for the whole family.
ENCINO MAN was made after SCHOOL TIES, but released before, so that the first time most audiences ever saw "Brendan Frasier" (sic) was as a half-naked, mud-covered cave man, dueling with garbage trucks and building fires in bedrooms!
Of course, being him, it was a completely believable performance, far superior to the material -- a pattern that was often to be repeated in his career -- and delivered so perfectly that it completely overshadowed Astin and Shore, the nominal stars of the movie.

 Encino Man review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
   First, there was "The Thin Man." Then came "The Quiet Man." And now for something completely different, it's "Encino Man," a film whose only similarity with those classic works is that it uses the word "man" in the title.
   "Encino Man" is a typical teen comedy with the usual cast of characters: two outcast sidekicks, two trusting parents, a bratty little sister, a beautiful dream girl and her boorish boyfriend, and a newcomer trying to fit in.
"Encino Man" is a comedy, pure and simple, but it somehow manages to work in the heavy themes of friendship, alienation and conformity.

 DVD Review: Encino Man
Although this was pretty much the most popular Shore film, I don't think it's the best that he's ever done(the best Pauly Shore movie...yikes.
Still scary.) "Encino Man" stars Shore and Sean Austin as two friends who find a caveman (Brendan Fraser) frozen in their backyard and decide to thaw him out since it just might make them popular.

 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Brendan Fraser
My prediction, then, is that Fraser will eventually abandon, or be driven away from, his determined eclecticism to settle into a career as the Leslie NIELSEN of his generation, another performer who never quite made it as a dramatic actor but blossomed as the stone-faced centerpiece of inane comedies.
But Fraser is still a young man, and I could be wrong.
So, in 2005, if he is stepping to the podium to accept the Best Actor Oscar for his mesmerizing performance as David Koresh in Waco, please forget everything I've just said.
