Ringo Starr stars, 22 February 2002
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Ex-Beatle Starr joins a jock and some real actors in this zany stone age romp. I suppose the ringed one will never be a top actor but I always enjoy his films. This stuff was so goofy it kept me in stitches the whole time. Solid fun with loads of laughs.
