Synopsis: Yabba dabba doo! That modern stone-age family is back and on the big screen in this live-action version of the beloved cartoon series. When Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) generously loans his pal... Yabba dabba doo! That modern stone-age family is back and on the big screen in this live-action version of the beloved cartoon series. When Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) generously loans his pal Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis) enough money to adopt a child, Barney wants to return the favor. So he helps Fred on his IQ test at the quarry... which gets Fred an executive position. But what Fred doesn't know is he's the sap meant to take the fall for a bunch of corporate con-men out to rook the company. The all-star cast is rounded out by Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma Flintstone and Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble, with special appearances by Halle Berry, Elizabeth Taylor, Jay Leno, and the B-52's.

Adults should be forewarned: Yabba-dabba-don't go unless you have to.

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

It's just a series of nicely shot and over-bright sets with the cast blocking your view of the background.

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

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.

Some 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.

Maybe it's because so many of the things they do in the movie are lifted directly from the show, but a lot of stuff seems stale.

Its story goes down about as easily as a platter of granite alfredo.
