An unevolved romantic comedy better suited to the Paleolithic Era.

Herschel Faber, the writer and director here, didn't bother fleshing out these characters enough to make us give a hoot about them.

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten

"Cavemen" writer-director Herschel Faber has sketched such a thin and unfunny look at L.A. singles, it should mark the death knell for movies about child-men on the make.

Apparently answering the unasked question, "What would happen if you told a 12-year-old at screenwriting camp to combine Swingers and (500) Days of Summer?"

Alonso Duralde, TheWrap
Rotten

A dismal rom-com for dudes that makes the average beer commercial look nuanced and plot-heavy.
