75I guess you have to be in the mood for a goofball picture like this. I guess I was.
-
75I'm pleased to report the new Land of the Lost movie keenly understands that what was once scary is now ridiculous.
-
70Land of the Lost is an enjoyable regression to Saturday mornings gone by, as junky and sweet as a strawberry Pop-Tart.
-
63Scrambled space-time comedy that's as light and silly as it is erratic.
-
50Not exactly a hundred million dollars' worth of classic comedy.
-
The result is eight times as strange and exponentially more potty-mouthed than the original series.
-
50If director Brad Silberling had taken this cast to their natural extremes, he might have delivered a raucously funny sci-fi comedy -- think "Anchorman" meets "Jurassic Park." Instead, Land of the Lost is an utter misfire -- not bad enough to hate, not good enough to remember.
-
50It's hard to know just who the intended audience is: The movie is too surreal and bawdy for young kids and too silly for anyone older than 25.
-
50Land of the Lost has stray amusing tidbits, but overall it leaves you feeling splattered.
-
50It ends up sagging into a pleasantly undistinguished pudding. The big news is that Matt Lauer, playing himself, can act. A little. Hardly at all, really. But he's a jolly good sport, and quite handy with a fire extinguisher.
-
It's cheap-looking (dinosaurs and other beasts here look like CGI loaners from Spielberg), deeply mediocre and predictable.
-
40Humdrum adaptation that should, given the ripe nature of its source material, have been much better.
-
40Land of the Lost isn't a terrible movie. It's merely a perplexing one: Who is this thing for?
-
Like its characters, the film keeps getting lost too, stumbling as it struggles to keep kids and adults from squirming in their seats.
-
40The only marginally interesting, if unsurprising, thing about the pricey movie spinoff of the junky children's television show Land of the Lost is that a lot of money has been spent on yet another cultural throwaway.
-
40Ferrell's latest excursion into delusions of manhood is director Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost, an action comedy with the sloppy construction and saving grace notes of the star's other movies.
-
38Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
-
38Ferrell may well shoulder the blame for Land of the Lost, even if he doesn't deserve it. He did, however, willingly participate in this coarse, sloppy big-screen version of the old Saturday-morning time-warp adventure.
-
38The whole thing feels at least three summers too stale.
-
38Genially terrible, Lost is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more.
-
38A turd of T-Rex proportions, Land of the Lost makes one remember last summer's "Speed Racer" fondly.
-
33It doesn't help that neither Ferrell nor McBride bring their best material, with McBride offering yet another variation on an angry redneck, and Ferrell falling back on Ron Burgundy-like bluster and nonsense exclamations.
-
33It's all so resolutely uninspired that even the kids in the audience may want to duck out.
-
30Lame sketch comedy, an uninspired performance from Will Ferrell and an overall failure of the imagination turn Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost into a lethargic meander through a wilderness of misfiring gags.
-
30Summertime junk food.
-
30The result is a movie with an exceedingly narrow target audience that should test Will Ferrell's appeal among boys maybe ages 12-14 -- about the only demo likely able to endure this laborious mess.
-
25There is also a sense that the filmmakers weren't quite certain if they wanted to make a fun, kid-friendly adventure or a bawdy adult-skewed comedy. Walking the tightrope doesn't work.
-
25Land of the Lost is one of those films so caught up in its concept it has forgotten its audience.
-
20This lumbering, ha-ha-look-what-we-remade action-comedy is a high-concept disaster.
-
20It's all noise and flash and chaos, but it lacks virtually everything that made the original television series so memorable.
-
12Will Ferrell's terminally stupid, sloppy, campy and cheesy -- and thoroughly unexciting and unfunny -- experiment in "family entertainment."
-
0This dramatically, thematically and artistically bankrupt comic fantasy cost something in the neighborhood of $100 million to make and isn't worth the celluloid it's printed on.
