Quotes about Caveman
[edit]- It's dopey, but it's also lots of fun.
- Janet Maslin, "'CAVEMAN' WITH RINGO STARR"] New York Times (April 17, 1981)
- ...the characters don't exactly speak. They grunt and gesture in a language the audience gradually comes to understand. This doesn't make them any less articulate than many characters in movies with more elaborate scripts.
