In German cinemas it only found around 548,000 viewers and is therefore ranked 74th on the hit list of the most successful films of the year (for comparison: The Flintstones was seen by 6,259,000 people in 1994 and thus reached number 2). In the United States, the film grossed a meager $ 35.2 million, placing it at number 73 on the annual hit list (for comparison: The Flintstones reached number 5 in 1994 with a profit of $ 130.5 million).

Reviews

Lou Lumenick wrote in the New York Post that the film was more entertaining than the 1994 comedy.

Stephen Hunter wrote in the Washington Post that the film was "zany".

The lexicon of international films ruled that the film was an “over-the-top new edition” whose “uninspired script” overlooked “that the real charm of the original television series [...] lay in the lovable marital disputes between the couples”. It is therefore a "bland infusion, which mainly suffers from the fact that the cast, which has been completely changed compared to the first film, hardly invites identification".

Awards

The film won the 2001 Young Artist Award as “Best Comedy” . Mark Addy also received a Young Artist Award for "Best Actor in a Comedy" . He also received six other nominations, including two for the Golden Globe Award .
