What could have (and SHOULD have) been a minor "guilty pleasure" turns out to be a pointless, pretentious, heavy-handed mixture of violence, soft-core sex, pseudo-religious symbolism and end-of-civilization cliches that turns excrutiatingly boring before the movie even hits the halfway point. Director Larry Clark has courted his share of controversy in the past with the in-your-face cinema-verite of "Kids" and "Bully," which were not perfect, but WERE often so raw and uncompromising, you couldn't stop watching them. "Teenage Caveman" is just a plotless, directionless mess with nothing to offer anybody. My rating: * star.
