Wonderful character development!

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Despite the wooden acting, shoddy effects, b-movie values and soft core pornography, i actually enjoyed this...or maybe it was because of those things? I haven't watched Kids so i don't really get Larry Clark but judging this movie alone, i found this to be an enjoyable film with a decent storyline which moves along nicely (except for the breaks for gratuitous nudity and sex) and has some good ideas.I came to understand, following watching it, that it was a made for TV movie and maybe that explains some of the production values. The story focuses intimately on the wants and beliefs of it's teenage core but also manages to consider larger issues like the dangers of genetic engineering, religion and how it is often perverted, and the possible fate of the human race.If Larry Clark had managed to find better actors who could actually deliver lines of dialogue like they believed in them i would rate this higher. B-movie production values don't put me off a film if the Director gets the essentials (good actors, good script, good plot and ideas) right.

For those of you who thought this was a good movie, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The movie started off laughable with some Edward Fulong wanna-be (The kid with the starter mustache) talking about boobs and then they meet up with Vincent and the Asian Chick and then it becomes Kids-esquire when all these Teenagers get naked in a hot tub. The movie progresses along with drug use and sex, then the ending comes with the main character dressing up like Gene Simmons asking for all the children. This piece of cinematic garbage should be classified as the WORST MOVIE EVER! The main bad guy, Vincent, was so flipping unbelievable bad he should be shot. The Asian chick, i think her name was Juila, has no emotion, but when she gets mad she throws a temper tantrum that would make a 2 year old stop and wonder why they were throwing one in the first place. Larry Clark should, if he isn't already, be on some list that watches him as I think he is a pedophile. If someone says, hey lets watch Teenage Caveman, you need to kick your friend in the junk, throw him out the door, and then never call him again. This abomination cost me 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I died a little inside and this movie made me even stupider. The future does suck, and it is because of this movie.

This movie was so bad... it was good! I love the line where the guy (and all the kids sounded like they were mentally challenged) said...I SQUIRTED! I rolled on the floor laughing hysterically.Which leads me to wonder if this wasn't some backhanded attempt at creating soft-core porn.Granted... it is called a "TV Movie" and such... but what was the point other than to show rape, sex, and nudity for no reason other than to show nudity?And when I first saw this film... I thought I was looking at Rutger Hauer. Richard Hillman? Okay.Avoid watching this film sober!

I'm going to make this review short. Why? Well, this film deserves a short and to the point review. To be honest I'm only writing this because the reviews were so horrible...and I felt it should be represented a little better.Firstly, this film is definitely low budget. Regardless I did happen to find the scenery quite...well...nice. For what they were working with I felt they did a nice job. The kids are pretty, well most of them, and the special effects were limited to what they could do with the budget they had. At least there's no cheesy effects is what I'm saying.Secondly, I felt the plot was a fun exciting idea. Post-apocalyptic world where tribes of men live together in caves, teens wondering what used to be, wanting something else. Complete teen angst, we can all identify. It's fun. These "caveteens" that get away from the tribe and find technology, drugs, alcohol, sex...the things we love and take for granted.Thirdly, the way these teens react is just hilarious. Hideously overacted, yes, but I don't think this film is taking itself too seriously in the first place. Lots of taut young female bodies, and (even though I'm not a fan) some hot young male sexy time.Fourthly (fourthly? i don't think that's a word...) This turned out not to be so short. They bring in a subject that is indeed a valid subject in the real world. Genetic research! In a world destroyed by technology it is technologies child that lives. They have created a race of people that live forever, are stronger, faster, smarter, and all around a better person. Granted they're completely insane but still...it's a scientists wet dream.In summation I thought this film was extremely fun, and I watch it whenever I get the chance. Have I run out and purchased said DVD...well no...but still, if you just accept the silly acting and concept...it's really an amusing and fun film. It has aspects of suspense, horror, comedy, and all around teenage tomfoolery! I'd say watch it and just enjoy it. Don't take yourself more serious than the film.
