There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

If it wasn't for the fact that it had some decent actors in this, I wouldn't have watched it to the end. It just had no real story to it, other than than obvious...boy likes girl! It's a pretty bland flick for what it is, there's not a hell of a lot that captures you, the chemistry between Camille and Skylar is pretty minimal, it's there...but I've seen stronger connections in other similar movies with better plot lines. It's like hmm I like her, I do, but I can't really be bothered to do much about it kinda attitude from him and with her it's a pretty similar vibe. I've seen both of them in other movies and they excelled, so I really don't get the lack of commitment in chemistry in this! Other than that romantic side of it, there's nothing more to say, it's kinda just background noise the rest of it...which is just about watchable. They really could've done better with this!

Let's list the things we know. Things for which we have empirical evidence. 1. Your romantic comedy or your bromantic comedy will not succeed if Skyler Astin is your main male love interest. ( See 21 & Over, and Pitch Perfect( I didn't like it as much as everyone else))2. Being able to stand in front of a camera and look good doesn't make for good acting. (Chad Michael Murray). I will say that Camilla Belle does give it the "ol' college try" ( she is stunning). 3. If you're going to do a plot that's been done a hundred times, (especially recently with the rise of the Bromantic Comedy in film) you have to at least try something different that will capture the attention of the movie goer!4. Only in the movies can an average looking guy working in a dive bar bang hot chicks enough to grow weary of it. (Where do they come up with these characters?) This plot has been done enough for the whole thing to have become one big cliché'. Its' actors and actresses do not entice you to invest in their characters. The plot points are cheesy and predictable. And you are not given any reason to believe in the love of the two principle characters. At one point near the end of the movie, Jason Patric ( really, what is he doing in this movie? He was in Speed 2 for God's sake!) Throws a script at the main character Dean (Skylar Astin) and ask him to show him where the to leads fall in love.... He can't do it. How fitting it is that that script turns out to be this movie in some lame attempt to be Meta. I have to go because every minute I write about this movie, my rating drops. See it if you dare.... you'll hate yourself in the morning though.

The only reason we gave this film a 2 is because we laughed once during the film. This review sucks, but it is still 10x better than the film. This film was a combination of every other stereotypical romantic comedy, filled with clichés and empty/unoriginal characters. There was not one thing in the film that was unpredictable. Please, give me my 85 minutes of time back. I could have been watching 3 episodes of the Walking Dead instead. Yes... the Walking Dead. I don't have anything else to say about this film, however, I am required to provide 10 lines of text for this review. So, I will just say that the only somewhat pleasant thing in this movie, was Chad. Go Chad.

Well written romantic comedy with a great cast and supporting roles. I enjoyed this comedy and its fast paced soundtrack. Cavemen won awards at the Austin Film Festival and Daytona Film Festivals so I am happy to see others enjoyed the film also.The movie had me cheering for main character Dean (Skylar Astin) searching for true love with the help of Tess (Camilla Belle), his friend and true love. With funny twists and turns, this movie kept me smiling.This film is based on 4 friends living in a warehouse converted to an apartment with no windows which they refer to as "The Cave"....hence "Cavemen"Dean' roommates, Jay (Chad Michael Murray), Pete (Kenny Wormald) and Andre (Dayo Okeniyi) each have their own hilarious romantic side plots while Dean searches for love.
