For the first 15 minutes or so, "RRRrrrr!!!" feels fresh. Then you start to realize that most of its jokes are variations on the same joke: prehistoric people doing anachronistically modern things. It could have played around more with the "whodunit" aspect, but it refuses to do so - it shows you the murderer right at the moment of the murder. The film looks good, it has clever moments and at least one inspiredly surreal sequence (hint: supermarket),and Elise Larnicol is perfectly deadpan, but the comedy runs out of steam long before the end. Depardieu's participation is little more than an extended cameo. ** out of 4.

At 35.000 years before !!
Actually a French comedy-satire over cavemen at 35.000 years before when an advanced tribe has a strange habit to wash their hair with the unsual shampoo, meantime has another tribe in a primitive stage that used to mud in their hairs, many thing comes across with first murder on the took place there, a joint action is designed by the Clan's chief to find a reason for such atrocity, naïve comedy that brings some social commentary over the nowadays mankind, when the murder was committed, also emphasisze the fabulous spot where the picture was shot with great rocky formation analogous at middle stone age, a French trademark comedy, very similar with Obelix and Asterix series exploiting something like that, puerile but undoubtedly funny and enjoyable!!!

This movie is one of the most enjoyable movies I have come across. All of the jokes are completely ridiculous, so you can just stop thinking and laugh. After the introduction to the movie, I couldn't stop laughing for over half a minute.
Now, if you are the type of person who exclusively likes movies which make you think (some of which are good),you will HATE this movie. If you just want to sit back and laugh at the incredible stupidity of all of the characters, this is the movie to do it with.
I watched the movie with subtitles, but having knowledge of French couldn't hurt. From the little French I know, I managed to pick up a few of the jokes missed in translation and laughed at some of the translations.
