Movie for This Week
Land of The Lost
Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell), inventor of a crackpot time/dimension traveling device accidentally gets transported to a mysterious land where the past, present, and future all converge. Joining the doctor on his journey is slacker Will Stanton (Danny McBride) and the studious Holly Cantrell (Anna Friel). Once in this “land of the lost” the three must find their way back home, avoiding the evil Sleestack creatures, a cantankerous T-Rex, and oversized mosquitos. Sadly, this attempt at rebooting what was already a lousy television series proves to be nothing short of horrible. A weak script starts the pain and sparse laughs provided by Ferrell are few and often at the easy and predictable blue joke level. Mediocre production value lacks the shine to really impress. One thing is certain about Land of The Lost, the one thing you’ll lose will be roughly 90 minutes of your life. Land of The Lost is Rated PG-13.
