Come on, I think we all dug him in his day. :D But he's pretty funny in the film with some of his lines. Pauly plays Stoney, a well, I think he's somewhat of a stoner. He does such a good job as the pretty self centered and insecure but nevertheless lovable guy who wants to get the girl. Sean Austin plays Dave, he's come such a long way and in my opinion is the most successful child star to not get hooked on drugs or let the industry take him over. He's also just so cute and lovable when he sees Dave and Stoney getting into a fight and he pulls David back screaming to him "Family!". But he was just priceless in that club scene and the seven eleven with Pauly. We see a very young Brendon Fraser as Link the caveman, yes, he doesn't have much to work with the grunting and such.
Yes, it has Pauly Shore which granted can be scare-E! :D But he's actually amusing as well in the film. Also, you need those comedies that you can just sit down too and just have fun and relax. I think because I just loved it as a child and it's like that blankie you can't get rid off. I'm not sure why, but still to this day I love to sit down to Encino Man. I never knew Scatterbrain had covered "Mama Said Knock You Out", either. My one beef is that Sandra Hess ("Cave Nug") wasn't given enough screen time (but then, as far as I'm concerned, she's NEVER given enough screen time).

If anyone else had played Link, I can't imagine the movie being as good as it is. He's really just a supporting player (and is nowhere near as annoying in small doses, it turns out). It appears to have been promoted as one of those frightful "Pauly Shore movies", but it's not. It's intended purely as entertainment, and that's what it is. This movie doesn't pretend to be anything outstanding. At least, not on any planet I've ever been to. Okay, so the movie has no basis in reality, but who would expect it to? Cavemen aside, it's a TEEN movie, and they NEVER depict real people or situations. If only I'd had a caveman of my own to help me pull chicks, how differently things might have turned out.
I just saw this movie again after many, many hundreds of years, and bugger me if it hasn't IMPROVED with age! (er, by that I mean it HAS.) I was a bit like the Sean Astin character when I was at school. *about a Cro-Magnon man attending high school. It's even got some sweet tunes on the soundtrack. It's also pretty funny to watch a fellow from the Ice Age trying to adapt to modern teenage life, much like the historical dudes did in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Teens are likely to enjoy Pauley Shore's scenes as the happy-go-lucky hippie throwback friend, Stoney, as he just seems like such a nice, giant goofball who can really have fun with this material. The cast and this silly story make it an enjoyable comedy.
Not even the school's most popular jerk can get off easy with a line like that. Matt figures out Link's real identity, and it's a question of whether anyone will believe his story that Link is really from the Ice Ages. Already p***ed with Dave and Stoney for getting friendly with his girlfriend Robyn (Megan Ward), and with their increasing popularity-especially Link, who Robyn has a little crush on. Matt Wilson, a jerky jock (Michael DeLuise) interferes with Dave's plans to just try and pass off Link as a normal exchange student. But eventually, the grizzly Link (Fraser), is a pretty popular kid at the high school, and one that Dave thinks will help him get popular, too, in that popularity-by-association kind of way. Needless to say, a lot of mishaps arise out of this. But, when he's breaking ground, he digs up a block of ice with a casualty of the Ice Ages, primitive fellow who he and his hip buddy, Stoney (Pauley Shore), clean off and try to disguise him as a regular American teenager. Dave (Sean Astin) has major plans for putting a swimming pool in his backyard to at least get some popularity points with the neighborhood teens who could lounge by the water in the blazing California summer sun.
The young cast, which stars Astin, Shore, and Fraser, is likely to be a major draw for teenagers and younger viewers, who will likely enjoy this movie. Encino Man is a comedy influenced by the wackiness of the grunge generation.
