The Land of the Lost

Once upon a time I was very bored so I decided to go see a funny movie...That movie was “The Land of the Lost”. The Land of the Lost is loosely based on a children’s TV series back in the 70’s, it’s an unusual basis for a movie but it works. Dr. Rick Marshall a.k.a Will Ferrel is a scientist famous for being a complete nut job. After a rather sour interview with Matt Lower Marshall’s secret admirer convinces him to test the “Takyon Amplifier”, a machine that doesn’t send you forwards or backwards in time but sideways. The experiment is a success but the team find themselves trapped in “The Land of the Lost”. The story lacks substance but it doesn’t really matter. It’s defiantly not Will Ferrell’s funniest movie, compared to Stranger than Fiction or Anchorman Land of Lost falls a little short. It’s like comparing a delicious three course feast to an Egg Mcmuffin. There we were living our dreary worker day lives when came along Anchorman and swept us right off our feet and took us on an amazing ride going through rings of blue fire. The thing that made Anchorman and Stranger fiction great was because this was a side of Will Ferrel we’d never seen before, it was a brand new experience. Rick Marshall is a little too much like Will Ferrell’s past roles like Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights. I enjoyed Land of the Lost, but if you really want see a great Will Ferrell movie here’s a reliable list of good ones:

Stranger than Fiction

Blades of Glory
