This movie's set in a caveman society where the men treat the women like slaves. Then the women run off and turn the tables on the men. Then one of the men discovers fire and the men take over again. Then the men and women fight off a big hungry giant and love resolves everything. Everybody speaks some caveman language in which no sentence has more than one or two syllables. An offscreen narrator delivers a documentary play-by-play of the action for those who find the story too intricate to track. I'm not sure who those people would be, but the filmmakers weren't taking any chances. As William Hurt put it in "The Big Chill", "sometimes you just have to let art flow over you." I guess this is one of those times.
