To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Yes it's cheesey nonsense but what do you expect. I have no idea why it gets slated on here the film is hysterical, much better than that Lala land crap.

Will Ferrell shows his mettle as the Crown Prince of cinematic comedy, applying visual gags from every Hollywood comic come before him, from Buster Poindexter and Harold Loyd and Chaplin through to Eddie Murphy. As the average smarts smart man's Adam Sandler fan, he, with his sidekick - that guy from Eastbound and Down - even manage to slur Polish people. Lots of lines fall flat, including the gag about men liking show tunes. I mean, why?!? While not recapturing the innocent charm of the original series, which forms my earliest TV-viewing memories, the laugh count, the standard measure of any comedy production, stands at 3 halfway through. Not really a high figure on the face of it, it still is infinitely times more funny than any Adam Sandler movie ever made. Just to reinforce this a little bit for the slow readers - lots of funny shtuff. A six on the scale of 1 to 10 is actually a 10 on the comedy B movie scale, by the way. Survey question: Are you watching this on basic cable? If so, it is likely thanks to the fact that Land of the Lost lost lots of moo la upon original release.

For fans of Anna Friel, Land of the Lost is bearable, the actress cavorting around in a small pair of red shorts and a tight vest, showing off her toned legs, occasionally bending over to give a glimpse of butt or cleavage; I can't imagine anyone else being entertained by this steaming turd of a movie, not even the most desperate of Will Ferrell fans (I don't usually mind the bloke, but here he's about as funny as a collapsed lung).Ferrell plays quantum-paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall, inventor of the Tachyon Amplifier, a device capable of creating doorways to parallel dimensions. When he and pretty 'groupie' Holly Cantrell (Friel) test the machine, the pair are sucked into an alternate universe (along with redneck tour-guide Will Stanton, played by Danny McBride), where they discover ferocious dinosaurs, primitive apemen, and an advanced race of reptilian aliens intent on conquering the Earth.Based on a '70s TV series, the sloppy plot is meandering, mindless nonsense, the CGI/green-screen work is diabolical, and the whole affair is completely unfunny, despite Ferrell's best efforts (the actor coating himself in Hadrosaur urine and Tyrannosaurus poop in his desperate quest for laughs). Which leaves us with Friel looking hot and having her breast fondled. Which is something, I suppose… (and the only reason I'm giving this 4/10 instead of 1/10).

Land of the Lost (2009): Dir: Brad Silberling / Cast: Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride, Jorma Taccone, Matt Lauer: Perhaps the most embarrassing overblown budget of the year. Here is a comedy about seeking adventure as Will Ferrell as a scientist becomes a laughing stock with his time warp theories until he hits one. Premise is rushed but structure delivers monkey people, lizard people, strange crystals and a T-Rex. The only thing missing was the kitchen sink but perhaps it was on lone to a better film. Directed by Brad Silberling who previously made such misfires as Casper and City of Angels. He is backed by horrid visual imagery that wouldn't look any worse than if they had been created by kindergarten students. Ferrell overacts constantly as he struggles to find a way back to reality. Ferrell starts out well with his talk show humiliation but his adventure itself is not explained in terms of the time warp itself. Anna Friel is only there to provide female companionship. Danny McBride tries his best but he is merely a wasted companion. Jorma Taccone is the most embarrassing as Cha-Ka the ape figure. He makes ape sounds and chatter to the point where he ranks as annoying as Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace. Matt Lauer makes an appearance as the unlucky individual who drew the short straw to interview Ferrell in the opening. Not family viewing with its dirty humour but it should be lost permanently. Score: 2 / 10
