Looks surprisingly watchable

[kloraferm]

So nobody's learned anything? Fair enough.

[25133WhooOoAH]

More like Land of the Douche Chills...

[LiddyRules]

So nobody's learned anything? Fair enough. Anna Friel looks nice in short shorts?

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Oh that Will Ferral hes so silly, it looks like hes got himself in a big DIE!

[25133WhooOoAH]

I don't get...Why did jurassic park look fucking amazing and ever since then It's all Cgi cartoon looking shit. Cloverfield Sucked, Juassic Park III, The monsters in I am Legend I don't like seeing real people being chased by Cartoons.

[Hudson]

Ok, maybe I am wrong..but I thought that shitty cgi was part of the gag.

[CousinDave]

I think after seeing the trailer, this might be a comedy

How about the P Jackson Kong remake?

[Bill Lehecka]

Irony is Will Ferrell being in this movie after playing the role of "Marshall Willenholly" in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back...

But then again, this isn't exacly an original nugget of fact.

[Dicktator]

So did the trailer just preimere last night during the Super Bowl? Looks good enough to watch. All of the cool kids who trash this movie need to realize when people go see a Will Ferrell movie they pretty much know what they're gonna get out of it. It's not going to a life changing masterpiece.

[25133WhooOoAH]

Yeah the show was odd but fun...I was young but watched it. King kong Had some good cgi IMO..Like those bugs? Fucking sick looking but yeah some of it looked real fake.

[patbattlefield]

Land of the Lost was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

[Big Dick Mcgee]

Loved the show but the movie looks like shit. I can't stand Will Ferrell. I just don't think he is funny at all.

[Stormrider666]

Loved the show but the movie looks like shit. I can't stand Will Ferrell. I just don't think he is funny at all.

I loved the show as well. I'm not a Will Ferell hater. But that's not the reason why I won't see the film. I don't like the idea it was turned into a comedy.

[kloraferm]

I used to like it as a lil fella, but was watching some of it on youtube recently, and it's not exactly how I remembered it.

[thekidslepthere]

Anyone else see it?

I saw it around a month ago and have to think it is one of the worst marketed movies ever. It actually had a lot of laughs and wasn't a kids movie. They trip out on some ancient fruit and have some gross interactions with dinosaurs. I think someone really fucked up trying to make this look like something parents could take their kids to a la Night At The Museum. I think it's this fact that lead to the bad reviews, the reviewers expecting one thing and getting something really different.

Will Ferrell did his schtick spot on, you might be sick of it, but he was actually really good in this and it's far better than his last couple movies. And Danny McBride was equally as good. And Anna Friel was pretty hot.

I'm not saying it is a classic, but it doesn't deserve the shitty reviews it got in the mainstream media.

[LiddyRules]

I didn't because I couldn't really get a read on it. The commercials made the movie seem too childish for adults and too adult for children. I don't really have fond memories of Land of the Lost and seeing the dinosaur made it seem like yet another big budget Night at the Museum-esque adventure. I saw nothing there to hook me. I thought it was a odd step for Ferrel/McBride/Friel, all of whom, I like.

Was it worse marketed than Adventureland? The teen sex romp that was really a depressing tale of how miserable and empty and futile our lives are. (Though, I think I ended up liking it better as a whole because of that.)

No the Adventureland marketing was even trickier than LotL.

Lotl does ride that line between being a kids and adults movie. But it seems to me Will Ferrel is a guy who grew up on LotL, and he's making a film version of it that he likes for those that grew up on it, not one for their kids. Sure it's goofy, most of his movies are goofy, but it has giant dino's running around and some other big set pieces which you usually don't see in a comedy.

We refer to Kristen Stewart as "dead behind the eyes" in my house, that's become her official name. And Jesse Eisenberg brought nothing to the table. The combination of those two lead to one of the biggest let downs of the year for me. And their use of great music in that movie in all the wrong ways also annoyed me.

Really think of seeing LotL at a matinee, go into it with low expectations and you'll be surprised.

Hahaha I love these guys.

Not really but I do watch their videos. I don't know why. Fucking disgrace to the Murphy name.

My favorite was the 10 minute video of them deciding to either go to PF Chang's or Cheesecake Factory near the mall. It was mind numbingly retarded yet I couldn't turn away.

This makes you wonder who's worse PC fools on the left or uptight conservative ninnys on the right?

On the Wisdom of an Eleven Year Old Boy in ‘Land of the Lost’
by Mark Corallo

A review, in which a father takes full responsibility for not reading the reviews before entering the theater.

This past Friday, my wife and I picked up the kids from their Catholic grade school in Alexandria, Virginia. As the two girls were being dropped at a friend’s house for the day, we decided (on the spur of the moment) to surprise the boy with a trip to the movies. We figured “Land of the Lost” would be harmless enough for an eleven-year-old boy and might provide a few laughs for the adults.

All you need to know is that I was compelled to ask, “What the heck is this rated?” within the first five minutes of the movie. Kids, this was not your father’s “Land of the Lost.” I might have only been about my son’s age when the Sid & Marty Krofft TV show was a Saturday morning staple 30 years ago, but I am 100% sure that I would have remembered it if one of the characters had dropped the F-Bomb.

For 45 minutes, we sat and squirmed and waited for the laughs to come. Instead, we were treated to the little ape man Chaka repeatedly fondling the heroine’s breasts, the dirty sidekick getting hot over two Slestaks of unknown gender preparing to, in his words, “tap that ass,” an extended homoerotic drug scene involving the two male leads and Chaka, and our hero Will Ferrell letting loose with the aforementioned F-Bomb as in “F#!k you, Chaka.” By the way, the movie is rated PG-13. My wife and I were shocked that for the sheer abundance of sexual references, filthy language and breast fondling, it didn’t merit a solid R from the MPAA.

As the parents, we were faced with a dilemma — how best to handle this delicate situation. The theater was packed with teenagers. Our son must have already felt a little embarrassed to arrive with Mom and Dad. To get up and leave might have been worse than grinding it out. I know some of you more perfect parents are thinking, “What dilemma? I’d have stormed out at the first dirty word!” But I’ll hazard a guess that you also would not have been thinking that at 11 years old, your kids are hearing and seeing worse on the school bus. And since we’ve established that our kids (like their parents before them) hear it on the bus or in the cafeteria or in the dugout, then you must accept the possibility that your kids have uttered a few of these choice words themselves. It’s what they think about it all that counts. That’s where the parenting comes in.

At any rate, I kept a close eye on my boy. He’s a smart kid. We talk about these things at home. We talk about language and why gentlemen don’t use dirty language in mixed company or in front of children. I tell him that on occasion, I’ve let loose with a few choice words, but that I strive to use it sparingly. He’s even asked about sex and I’ve been honest about it. Unsurprisingly, he’s never dissolved into a pile of dust. He just feels more comfortable talking to us about whatever is on his mind.

So, at about the 45 minute mark in the movie, he turned to me and said, “We don’t have to stay for any more of this.”
I replied, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, this is awful,” he said.

So we got up and walked out. My wife told me to go and ask for a refund. I told her that it was my fault for not checking the reviews, not the theater’s for not posting a warning.

I learned two valuable lessons that were well worth the $28.00. First, always read the reviews no matter how innocent a movie may seem from the ads, previews or ratings. Second, my son is a very smart boy.

As we were walking out he turned to us and said, “That was dirty, awful and disrespectful to women. It was disrespectful to Mom.”
Good kid, my son. Smarter than his father.

As soon as I got home, I fished out the newspaper and found the reviews. For once, the reviews were as bad as the movie. I also found out that because my son had the maturity to walk out, we missed being treated to the sight of Will Ferrell being eaten by a T-Rex and subsequently excreted by said dinosaur. I owe the boy big time.

Note to Hollywood, most parents will not be as forgiving as I am. I only hope that most eleven-year olds would have the guts to get up and walk out on the crap that Hollywood has grown accustomed to shoveling at them.

I just threw up in my mouth.

[LiddyRules]

I think at least half of what that guy said his kid said was a lie.

Though to be honest, thinking of Will Ferrel saying "Fuck you Chaka," actually made me want to see this movie.

[oandapartycock]

This makes you wonder who's worse PC fools on the left or uptight conservative ninnys on the right?

I just threw up in my mouth.
He takes an 11 year old to see a PG-13 movie and is shocked that it might be a little inappropriate? I guess we need a PG-10 added to the ratings system for this kid.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Rated PR-D, for Pete Rose hair cuts and down syndrome.

[lockjaaaaww]

Will Ferell is horrible. I hate every movie he's ever been in and so odds are pretty good I'll hate this movie.

[CousinDave]

I haven't seen the movie and probably won't Netflix it I'll wait till its on HBO.

I liked the show as a kid and recently watched a bunch of episodes on SciFi channel.

Anyway when I heard this was going to be a comedy with the typical Will Ferell character, I knew it would tank in the theaters. This should have been an action / drama movie. Jack Black proved in King Kong that he dosen't have to play his type cast character, so Ferell could have done the same.

[FellowTraveler]

Ferell stinks The only reason to go see this movie would be Danny McBride. At least Ferell found a funny motherfucker to replace him.
