While the movie may act like a madeleine for television-obsessed baby-boomers, it works even better as a colorful playland that will appeal to small children.

Cartoonish live-action fun with well cast cast.

A $45 million design problem with 98 minutes of weak prehistoric jokes.

You won't have a gay old time.

Dismal, awful, excruciatingly unfunny - and I loved the cartoons growing up.

So silly and sophomoric, despite a few amusing bits of business, that it is recommendable only for kids -- and curious Flintstones fanatics.

As asinine as Hollywood gets, only destined to see at least one sequel.

Top CriticSome thirty six screenwriters made sure that the plot of the film is lame, original characters one-dimensional, and many elements of the story, like embezzlement and inter-office politics, totally incomprehensible for the little children.

You'd get a better story watching old Flintstones reruns.
