I was more excited that the old LOTL re-runs were running consecutively all Memorial Day on the Sci-Fi Channel. The movie looks ridiculous.

The Premise: 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 questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world--a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost.
Sucked alongside him for the adventure are crack-smart research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist (Danny McBride) named Will. Chased by a T-Rex and stalked by painfully slow reptiles known as Sleestaks, Marshall, Will and Holly must rely on their only ally--a primate called Chaka (Jorma Taccone)--to navigate out of the hybrid dimension. Escape from this routine expedition gone awry and they're heroes. Get stuck, and they'll be permanent refugees in the Land of the Lost.
The Review: This is suppose to be a parody of the 1974 TV Series of the same name. Honestly, I am not a Will Ferrell fan, nor have I ever been. I saw one movie with him in it, A Night At The Roxbury, and that pretty well summed up what he was going to be in any movie after that. I never really got into the Saturday Night Live cast that he was a part of either. To me, this is a silly movie. It does have a few scenes in it that are pretty funny, but unless you simply want to see the Special Effects on a movie screen, you're better off investing your movie money in General Motors Stock. Seriously, seeing it for Free was bad enough, I can't even fathom the guilt from the family budget to have actually paid for this.
