Who was begging for a live-action version of this? Will, Mike, and Sam once again try to ruin their childhoods (with little success) by taking on a franchise that has existed and been beloved since before any of them were born that was then almost ruined with the 1994 live-action adaptation of The Flintstones. Starring John Goodman as Rick Moranis as Fred and Barney, respectively, the film boils down to essentially an extended episode of the original show with random scenes that barely go anywhere to just fill time. Even with a decent cast (with the exception of THAT actress playing Betty who was probably just cast because she could do the laugh), this film does not ride the nostalgia train that well other than being a simple family film with a large budget. Although they still do see it's merits, the Commit One crew is ready to send this one back to the Stone Age.
