Movie Review : "Land of the Lost"

After accidentally uncovering a portal to an alternate universe peopled with dinosaurs, Sleestaks and other strange creatures, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell) and two associates are forced to navigate a dangerous new world. Brad Silberling directs this big-screen adaptation of the classic 1970s adventure series "Land of the Lost," the high-concept, low-budget fantasy dreamed up by famed children's television producers Sid and Marty Krofft. - taken from Netflix.com


Oh geez. Okay, we can say this is the typical Will Ferrell type comedy. Sexual innuendos throughout, 'dumb people' portrayals, all rolled into what as a kid I used to love to watch on Saturday mornings. Some of Ferrell's movies I have enjoyed ("Elf" comes to mind) but I just could not get into the somewhat raunchy remake of this show. One star all the way, and I feel that was being generous.
