A word of advice, if you really love the old "Land of the Lost,", DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT see the new one. I'm not a film critic, but I know a PIECE OF CRAP when I see one, and this new movie is a giant one.
This Sunday, I'm hangin' with my kids (wifey's at work) and we were eating in lower Bricktown. I thought "Hey, let's see if there's a movie we can catch while we're here." We head over to the theater and the only movie that we could catch right then was "Land of the Lost."
Now, I have said over and over that I would not see this new one. Because I really really love the OLD Saturday morning show, and I knew this would be a parody of the old show.
But, it was our only option (without waiting around), and I thought the kids might enjoy it.
It started off bad, and only got worse. I kept thinking "SURELY it will get better." No such luck.
I expect a few cursewords here and there, but not a steady stream. And no, I'm not prudish in the least bit. But when my little girl looks at me in horror every time they drop an F-bomb, it's a little disappointing, embarrassing actually. And there was more crude stuff than that. Totally juvenile.
Yeah, the old "Land of the Lost" was kinda corny, and it had some really BAD special effects, but it was never something you'd be afraid to let your kids watch. And yeah, I know, it's a Hollywood movie, but it's MARKETED TO KIDS.
So if I can't get those 2 hours of my life back, at least I think I'll swear off Will Ferrell movies for awhile.
The guy is a comedic genius, but I fear he's gone the Eddie Murphy route. That is, cranking out at least 7 terrible films for every mediocre one.
Maybe he'll do "Anchorman 2."
I agree! That movie was HORRIBLE!!
