The good (if not fully evolved) citizens of Bedrock make their way to the big screen in this live-action adaptation of the popular animated series of the 1960s. Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) and his best friend Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis) work together at the Slate and Company Rock Quarry. When Fred loans Barney some money that allows him and his wife Betty (Rosie ODonnell) to adopt a child, Barney is looking for a way to show his gratitude. Barney thinks hes found one when the executives at Slate and Company announce that theyre giving all their employees intelligence tests to help determine future promotions. When Barney switches his high-scoring test with Freds, his plan works -- but not quite the way he had hoped: Fred is deemed executive material and given a big promotion, complete with a sexy secretary (Halle Berry) who makes his wife Wilma (Elizabeth Perkins) jealous, while Barney is soon out of a job and cant pay his bills. Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbara, who created the original television series, make cameo appearances here; Elizabeth Taylor gives a fine comic performance as Wilmas nagging mother, and Harvey Korman provides the voice of the Dictabird. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
