Farrell and McBride are great together at times in this movie.

Consensus: Only loosely based on the original TV series, Land of the Lost is decidedly less kid-friendly and feels more like a series of inconsistent sketches than a cohesive adventure comedy.
Theatrical Release:Jun 5, 2009 Wide
Box Office: $49,392,095
Synopsis: Space-time vortexes suck. Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into one and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and... [More]

Reviews for Land of the Lost
Top CriticDanny McBride is funny in the movie, not nearly often enough.
06/08/09
Top CriticThe movie is 90 minutes of bickering and blase under-reaction to outrageous events, interrupted by gross-out scraps such as Ferrell's run-in with an enormous mosquito, which ends with a tremendous amount of blood and guts.
06/05/09
Top CriticThis isn't the Land of the Lost you remember from childhood, but get on its antisocial wavelength and it's fitfully laugh-out-loud funny.
06/05/09
Top CriticPity the unwitting parents who take their kids to see Land of the Lost, Will Ferrell's terminally stupid, sloppy, campy and cheesy -- and thoroughly unexciting and unfunny -- experiment in 'family entertainment.'
06/05/09
Top CriticIt all amounts to a certain brand of comedy -- something closer to long-form Dada than conventional humor.
06/05/09
Top CriticWhen it comes to movies, there's good stupid and there's just plain stupid. Land of the Lost is just plain stupid, and that's not good.
06/05/09
Top CriticLand of the Lost is harmless enough. It just isn't, with the exception of a few odd air pockets, particularly funny.

Top CriticWhat next: The Banana Splits movie?
06/05/09
Top CriticAlways weird, sometimes aimless but occasionally really funny.
06/05/09
Top Critic[The screenwriters] haven't given Ferrell a single witty line, which may explain why he seems to be so grimly going through the motions. The jokes aren't just worn out, they're clubbed to death.
06/05/09
Top CriticThis dramatically, thematically and artistically bankrupt comic fantasy cost something in the neighborhood of $100 million to make and isn’t worth the celluloid it’s printed on.
06/05/09
Top CriticLand of the Lost is not completely terrible, and it moves briskly and safely, even though its more laugh-worthy bits have already been seen in endless commercials for the movie.
06/05/09
Top CriticThe only discernible intention in Land of the Lost, the latest comedy starring Will Ferrell acting like Will Ferrell, seems to have been to take a slight idea and make the least of it in a very expensive way.
06/05/09
Top CriticThe only marginally interesting, if unsurprising, thing about Land of the Lost is that a lot of money has been spent on yet another cultural throwaway.
06/05/09
Top CriticWill Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
06/05/09
Top CriticNot exactly a hundred million dollars' worth of classic comedy.
06/05/09
Top CriticA wildly bizarre and frequently hilarious adventure that appears to be whacked-out by design, not out of sloppiness.
06/05/09
Top CriticGenially terrible, Lost is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more.
06/04/09
Top CriticThis Land exists at the bottom of the pop-cultural barrel.
