(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 28% Rotten Page   1   "Asks viewers to take off their thinking caps and put on their dunce hats. Comic rewards await for those who agree to do just that."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1/5 "As long as you enjoy the actors involved, Land of the Lost will mostly deliver. If you don't, you'll vanish into an entertainment void all your own."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 7/10 "An aggressively weird, suitably uneven and decidedly un-kid-friendly keg-stand of nostalgia for those unable to scrub the fever-dream of a series from their memories."   AfterElton.com   Brian Juergens 1.5/4 "Lost feels haphazardly scripted on cocktail napkins and creatively fueled by paychecks and a series of dares. It's Ferrell harvesting the wilted fields of absurdity, turning mild '70's entertainment into a tuneless slapstick comedy."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 1.5/4 "I'd take the Kroffts� crude filmmaking skills and limited coin any day over Will Ferrell sprinting ineffectively around a 100-million-dollar wonderland, making it up as he goes."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf D "Will Ferrell is a buzz kill to this innuendo-laced comedy that's unrelated to the television series it's ostensibly based on."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2/5 "This just might be one of the most confused, cluttered, and off-the-mark TV adaptations to ever hit the big screen."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 1/4 "...the film boasts a pervasively puerile sensibility that's reflected in virtually all of its attributes..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "A sure-fire candidate for one of the year's worse films."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Be it dead serious, moronic racecar driver Ricky Bobby or idiotic, deadpan Ron Burgandy, Ferrell has managed to create quite the niche for himself as the honest, earnest moron."   Film Threat   Don R. Lewis 2/4 "The movie races around to nowhere in particular, more concerned with rarely spectacular spectacle than a beating heart."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B "A wildly bizarre and frequently hilarious adventure that appears to be whacked-out by design, not out of sloppiness."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "Land of the Lost will have kids asking if they can just go see Up again. Hopefully mom and dad have a little money left after blowing it on this."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress F "We're in Howard the Duck and Pluto Nash territory here...so awful that watching all forty-three episodes of the original without a break would be less painful."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Dull, unfunny, and completely unsuitable for viewing by anyone who isn't a charter member of the Will Farrell fan club."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/4 "perhaps the movie isn't quite weird enough, so instead of seeming inspired in its dementedness, it just seems inept and desperate"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "The interesting thing, though, when you actually see "Land of the Lost," is that it ... essentially functions as a high-cost, high-gloss parody of itself."   MSN Movies   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2.5/5 "Land of the Lost amounts to a $100 million bet that Will Ferrell’s brand of sketch comedy can survive contact with the day-glo sludge Sid & Marty Krofft purveyed. And vice versa."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy 4/5 "Land of the Lost the movie is upbeat, pretty silly, but funny in enough portion to render it pleasant, with heavy reliance on the tongue-in-cheek art of understatement."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2.5/4.0 "... one can't help but wonder if a more serious version wouldn't have been better... possibly even in the hands of someone like Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits anyone?)"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3.5/5 "a dumb, fun amusement park ride, and it touched a certain level of childlike excitement in myself. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I had a blast watching it."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr D- "Will Ferrell has officially used up my cache of good will..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[M]erely a cynical attempt to mine some cash from one of the few remnants of Generation X's collective childhood that has yet to be picked over for the sake of nostalgia..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Not really a film version of the oft-rerun '70s Saturday morning staple that happens to star Will Ferrell, but rather a Will Ferrell movie that happens to bear the title and some concepts of the show."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/4 "The great irony of the new big-screen Land of the Lost adaptation is that the filmmakers have spent a reported $100 million to make a movie that looks like it cost $1.95. And you know what? In a weird kind of way, I actually appreciate that ethic"   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Two funny actors and a criminally underused actress tramp around an alternate reality in search of comedy but not finding much for us to laugh at."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "Land of the Lost is halfway toward amusing, which means it's just as close to awful."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "Just too random and silly to make any sense at all. Although there are a few laughs along the way"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "The year's funniest moment may involve dino pee."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick C- "It bears too much resemblance to the detritus jumbled across its frame: patchwork components trying vainly to form a cohesive whole."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux "... an aimless romp lost in the land of juvenile humor and missed opportunities."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 3/5 "as much of a nonsensical head-scratcher as the source show."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "Unfortunately, the best moments are all on view in the various trailers and film clips available on the Internet, which makes the experience of watching the complete film somewhat disappointing."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 2/10 "Tiresome, repetitive and time-warped, the title says it all."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 3/10 "Nothing at all besides two funnymen and one disposable, objectified woman running from place to place, screaming a bit, joking about bodily functions, and running around a bit more."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 3.5/5 "I'm not sure why this lightweight adventure took so much flak...it's a rickety, small-scale pleasure."   DVDTalk.com   Tyler Foster  (1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 28% Rotten Page   1
