Land of the Lost: A Ferrell Failure

Posted by Posted by McCall Image On 6/11/2009

The first and last thirty seconds of Land of the Lost is funny, but that's about it. I didn't have high hopes for this film to begin. And after an hour and forty minutes, my suspicions were confirmed. This is almost as bad as Ferrell's last T.V show/movie-remake, Bewitched (2005). I understand the dinosaur graphics were supposed to be cheap, the humour campy and the premise and plot ridiculous, but it's a poorly delivered package. The comedy is reminiscent of the worst SNL skits, but with a multi-million dollar budget, which does nothing but emphasize how poor the dialogue and plot are once you quickly grow tired of the trite gags and laughs. I almost want to say this is as bad as the Flintstone movies, but I don't know how to be that cruel.
If you want to see actors running around and being chased on a green screen for almost two hours, it's still only worth a rental.
