Review and Questions: The film is not always laugh out loud, but it’s still funny. It’s the Flintstones, one of my favorite shows. Not one of my most favorite films.

Was I hooked the first 15 minutes? Not necessarily. I wasn’t that excited. It started out okay.

Did I enjoy the characters? Was the acting good? Liked all of the characters, even the bad ones, and the voice acting was well done.

How original is it? It was as original as it could be. A spy gets hurt and needs replacement, just when they have a big mission; a look-alike comes along to take his place and save the day.

Favorite Quotes/Scenes: Love every scene with Pebbles and Bamm- Bamm. Their duets are so cute.

Recommend: Anyone who loves The Flintstones, or just looking for some good clean humor.
