Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

OK, so I bought an old VHS of this the other day (May 2018) and watched it for the 1st time in like 20-odd years. (Think I last saw this show in 1997 in Germany where it was pretty big; didn't understand a word mind !) As an adult I don't really get it; seems really mediocre, 'cool' 1990s and generally All-American.That said, maybe that's sort of the point ! Interesting to see how EVERY other review on here is of high appraisal and practically 10/10 ! Interesting all the comparisons to The Simpsons. OK, so as a kid I guess I just thought it was cool + funny (the latter in a quite superficial sort of way). Maybe I was too young to get it; maybe this is - as the comparisons to The Simpsons would suggest - a social parody of working-class USA. After all, what else would a US show featuring a lumberjack, housewife, baseball-jacketed son + sparkly-clad daughter be about !?So I'll give it 5/10 to be safe; good compromise considering my being on a stepping stone to getting its purpose !

I absolute love this serie as a kid. Its funny and smart, with good insight about the society that for me, as a child, was important to notice and question. Like working relations, gender, capitalism. The series do that with inteligence to please kids and adults

this was one of the greatest show on TV in the 90's along with Beavis and butt-head bring it back to TV and release all of it on DVD This show was great the good thing is, is that the show has adult humor but has a look for kids to enjoy as well as the adult also the show a dysfunctional type of family but are living as dinosaurs rather than using people. basically earl is a working man who is also the father of 3 including a daughter that is into fashion in a way and Robby who's a 14 year old teen age kid who's into the punk rock scene in a way the show is just great there's no other way to put it, it was one my favorites on TV! bring it back please!!

With Performers: Steve Whittemire, Dave Goelz and Bill Barretta.Based on an idea by the late, but great Jim Henson, Dinosaurs is about Megalasaurus Earl Sinclair, who is your average dumb father. We have his slightly overbearing wife Fran, his baby who craves attention, his teenage son robbie and his unpopular but trying daughter Charlene. The show brings dinosaurs to life through animatronic puppeteering through facial movements, which looks great and really cool sets. The show kind of turns actual situations into dinosaur situations, like Charlene wanting to grow a tail because her friends have them and the boys will like her, or dirty politics (most plots containing Earl's boss). It actually shows how ignorant man can be. earl is a tree pusher, and pushes down trees for no reason. The dinosaurs eat anything smaller than them because they're big. It has clever dialogue that helps it along too. Other than the family, we also have Ethyl Phillips, who is Fran's paraplegic mother who hates Earl. There's Roy, Earl's bud at work. There's his evil Triceratops boss Mr. Richfield and Fran's long necked, four legged friend who just sticks her neck in because she has no hands. I totally recommend this show, and I hope you enjoy it!My rating: 4/4. TV rating can differ, can contain some sexual candor or mild language. TVPG.
