PG-13: a drug reference, language and crude and sexual content
If you love Will Ferrell movies, you’ll love Land of the Lost. Cause it’s not so much about the movie as it is about Will Ferrell being able to be Will Ferrell. Fortunately for me, I think he’s hilarious. Elf is one of my top three must watch or it ain’t really Christmas movies. And so 93 minutes of Will Ferrell running around like an idiot – that’s what I’m payin’ for and that’s exactly what I got.
There’s nothing new here. This is not a cutting edge comedy. This isn’t smart, particularly witty or insightful. If that’s what you’re looking for, you my friend, are in the wrong theater!
If, however, you think dinosaur poop, a monkeyman continually coping a feel, and Danny McBride are comedic genius – well, sit right down and make yourself comfortable. You are in for a real treat!! Slapstick. Silly. Inane. Nonsensical. Tongue in cheek. Spoof. A veritable smorgasbord of all of the above! It’s Will Ferrell doing what he does best, what made him famous, and what we all come to a Will Ferrell movie expecting. He is as funny and entertaining to watch as that man you know is going to get a baseball bat to the crotch. You can’t help but laugh. Sure, it’s childish, perhaps a bit crude and cruel; but in the end, that’s what makes it all the funnier!
A couple of trivia bits: listen for the voice of Spock, he’s in there! Don’t leave during the credits, about halfway thru there’s a little nugget.
My overall review: this one is definitely for the Will Ferrell fans.
