Land Of The Lost

Having been too young to see Land of the Lost when it first arrived on TV, I can't comment on on the comparisons. That said, I love Will Ferrell (when he's under the supervision of Apatow or McKay) and I love Danny McBride (yeah he may play a lot of similar roles, but he's great at it).

The movie wasn't the best written movie ever. However, it was Ferrell at his best. He plays Dr. Rick Marshall, a scientist who's been laughed at about his theories on time travel, etc. Him, his assistant, played by Anna Friel, and a tour guide redneck, Danny McBride, end up back in time in a parallel universe. They meet a monkeyish tour guide, played by Jorma Taccone. They get into wacky adventures trying to find a way back home.

The comedy is over the top in most scenes, but the dialogue is pretty decent. Its funny at random points of the movie, and it got me to laugh a decent amount.

However, this movie wasn't written that well, and it let me down.

Plusses

• Danny McBride
• some jokes

Minuses

• lack of decent writing
• too much physical humor

I rate this movie 5.8 out of 10.
