A prequel to the previous, coarser film, it explains how brawny Fred won over Wilma (Kristen Johnston) despite the objections of her ''Dynasty''-gorgon of a mother (Joan Collins), and how dim Barney (Stephen Baldwin) shared stupidities with Betty (Jane Krakowski). Brian Levant directs again, from a script hacked by writers who deserve brontosaurus burgers for limiting themselves to just one gag involving dinosaur flatulence.
MEET THE FLINTSTONES Addy, Johnston, Krakowski, and Baldwin have a gay old time
