Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is movie favorite movie with Brett Cullen. Plus, this dinosaur movie is a whole lot better, not to mention funnier, than the Jurassic Park movies. First of all, I love how Brett Cullen takes no prisoners towards his kids after the dinosaurs trash his home and when his rebellious daughter sneaks out of the house. I also love the 1969 Ford truck that Brett drives in this movie, along with the vintage furnishings in the house.
This should be officially available on DVD along with the sequels that came after this. Watching this and other movies like MY MOTHER'S SECRET LIFE & SHAKMA, both with Amanda Wyss brings back a whole lot of memories.

I had remembered loving this movie when I was a kid, because I loved dinosaurs in my childhood and had seen a handful of very obscure dinosaur movies aside from the other popular ones, and it had been so long since I had seen Prehysteria! that I asked for it for Christmas. I came to the occurrence that I had seen the movie before by some ad there used to be on Nickelodeon cassettes to the tune of "Happy Days" which featured quick showings of it. I got it on cassette, and pretty soon after, I watched it, expecting to love it as much as I did when I was kid. Let's just say, I certainly did not like it as much as when I was a kid. Well, overall the movie is entertaining and enjoyable; fluffy humor and insipid characters make it laughable, but ultimately failing in it's attempt to be good. The dinosaurs are so cute and lovable, however, that they make the film unable to completely hate, even if they are in lack of decent special effects. The acting was poor at some points, especially from the daughter who I just did not care for at all, but still, the acting is tolerable. The plot was pretty good, so no problems there, and they were able to make some likable characteristics, even if it is definitely not a masterpiece.Prehysteria! is meant for kids, no doubt, for the plain and simple fact that I loved this as a child, and now I thought it was kind of forgettable, but nonetheless, it was not a terrible movie, and if you think you can appreciate it for what it is, give it a view, just watch with an open mind. It is absolutely not as bad as it's rating idolizes it to be, even if it does not deserve amazing reception. I have seen worse, and I have seen better, but this can be enjoyable from time to time, and by that I mean if you ever do watch it more than once make sure you spend a long period of time between watches to grow any sense of appreciation towards it.

I really liked this movie if others don't like it, well they are not a kid at heart, I thought of the dinosaurs was cute , the action great, the comedy funny, the actors great, the story line was great too and just about every thing about it, and it was a very good movie for kids and for the adult who are a kid at heart too, but I think it is ashame that they didn't put it on DVD. They put the 2 movies that came after this one on DVD, so why not this one too? I haven't seen the other two movies yet but i think this one really should have been put on DVD too like the other 2.I liked it too, and I hope that somebody else does just as much as I did too.

The life-like miniature dinosaurs are a joy to behold but the humans don't do this film any favours. It's obviously aimed at young children and is therefore awful. The dialogue and acting stinks. So the best way to watch is press the fast forward button whenever the cute dinosaurs aren't in shot. They deserve to be in a much better film. On their account I rate this 5 instead of 1.
