land of the lost be another in a long line of old tv show lazily package into summer movie and too dumbed down for fan of the original show and nothing all that memorable for those young viewer come into it for the first time . there be no doubt it will join the class ( bewitch which will ferrell also be in and duke of hazard and wild wild west ) of film so bad that they make the brady bunch movie look like the ben hur of the genre . there be just zero reason to care about anything in this movie . will ferrell and you should have know well . ferrell play dr. rick marshall and a paleontologist disgrace by what others call his nonsensical theory about space time vortex . the only one who care to believe him be holly cantrell ( anna friel ) and a research assistant from one of those fancy british university who encourage him to keep work on his tachyon thingie majigger and a device that find tachyon particle that somehow allow people to jump between world . they find the most amount of the stuff in a crappy little souvenir shop run by a redneck name will ( danny mcbride ) and and before they know it marshall and holly and and will be travel back to another dimension that all desert . the place be complete with t rex and creepy crawly bug and a bunch of thing from our world litter about like a stretch limo and bob big boy and golden gate bridge and and a primate name chaka ( jorma taccone ) who befriend them and help them navigate their way back to their dimension . what need to get lose be the screenplay by chris henchy and dennis mcnicholas . when matt lauer and play himself and be the funny thing in a movie and you know that something go horribly wrong . the laugh be childishly inane . ferrell be force to embarrass himself considerably and in one scene drench himself in and and yes and even drink dinosaur urine . dino poop and gross insect infection also get high regard . then you have chaka and a supposedly lovable primate who big comic bit be molestation . hilarious . and this be the big laugh stuff . the rest be hard to even remember . that this movie manage any chuckle at all be due to ferrell and mcbride improvisation ability . ferrell be the arrogant goof off and mcbride the brash sidekick and but theyre face an uphill battle with this screenplay . and the plot wait and what plot . and what character development for that matter . it all very basic and aimless and and easy to follow and except you will be too bore to do so . character run around like idiot and dinosaur and insect chase after them and not much happens . and when not be chase and the aimlessness doesn not stop and it just get more persistent . a scene where marshall and will and and chaka sit around in a stupor get high off of some coconut drink ( yes and this be a family movie ) be unbelievably draw out and unnecessary and and above all and pointless . finally in the third act the slestaks and reptilian villain bent on world domination and start to put their plan into effect but even then it too little and too late to care . the special effect be cheesy . i be assume that be the plan cause the show be the exact same way but what you can see at home for free and what your willing to pay for be two different thing . a dinosaur against an obvious green screen isn not much fun and little green reptilian men in obvious costume and mask that barely move and other than to open and close their mouth and be hard to take seriously . land of the lose be just lose and misguide in every way and start with even decide to make the movie in the first place . it deserve to be shun and leave to be the summer first big box office bomb . ferrell and mcbride and and matt lauer be the only thing that keep it from be horribly unwatchable but not from be one of the very bad of the summer and the year thus far .
