Will Ferrell stars in this movie remake of the seventies classic TV show, The Land of the Lost. While it has some similarities to the classic show, Will and the gang put a different spin on the humor and the high jinks. Ferrell stars as Dr. Rick Marshall, a scientist that believes that time travel is possible and he wants to prove it.
He isn't the most lovable character and because most people in the field don't like him and think some of his time travel ideas are crazy, he gets laughed out of the field and becomes a middle school science teacher. One person, Holly, played by Ana Freil, believes in Dr. Marshall's work and vision and encourages Dr. Marshall to continue his work.
After an all night eating binge, Dr. Marshall and his new colleague Holly decide to have a live field test of the device and visit a cave in the desert that happens to be a tourist trap run by Will, a flea market fireworks salesman played by Danny McBride. The three of them are sent by a mysterious event hurling into another time dimension. When they arrive, they are greeted by bizarre insects, lizard people and a race of monkey like people, along with a big man eating dinosaur. Ferrell makes instant enemies with the dinosaur for one of the best running gags in the movie.
Almost as soon as they arrive they meet a monkey person named Chaka, played by Jorma Taccone from SNL. Chaka helps the group recover the time travel device, which went missing on arrival, so that they can return to their home. The trick to finding the device, however, is to survive the many hazardous encounters along the way.
Although this film was not a box office smash, or even Will Ferrell's best work, it does have many fun and entertaining qualities. Chaka and the character Will, give us some of the best laughs in the movie, and Ferrell gives us his best adolescent grown up character. There are many great special effect and CGI shows this new world well. Although the lizard people tend to look a little off, it is meant to be that way to represent the classic television show. The CD comes with a few extras, which are funny thanks to the touch of Will Farrell. This is a PG-13 film and not intended for younger viewers due to sexual references and language. - 29872
