Although this movie didn't come out until 1992, my guess is it was written back in the mid 1980's, probably after Teen Wolf and Weird Science came out. It just seems like one of those harmless '80's teenager movies. I don't remember laughing very much either. There are a few scenes where Pauley Shore actually tries to act, managing to evoke sparks of true emotion, but otherwise Encino Man was kind of a yawnfest, especially compared to something like Airheads, also with Brandan Fraser, which is really really funny. The people who made Encino Man tried, and Megan Ward is hot, but like I said, if you're looking for funny, you might want to keep looking.
