Land of the Lost

Review by Russ Breimeier | posted 6/05/2009 08:50AM

It's not as if the public was clamoring for a remake of Land of the Lost. Young and old generally remain ignorant of the short-lived Saturday morning television program from the mid-'70s with campy dialogue ...

Do not waste your time on this movie. Yet another movie that appears to be a family movie on the surface but is anything but. I should have walked out in the first 15 minutes but stubbornly sat through it hoping it would get better. PG13 is the new R, no doubt about it.

This is another movie that should have been rated-R. Way too much cursing. I can see where women/girls would have felt very offended by some of the sexual material in the movie.

One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Will Ferrell hasn't been funny since Kicking and Screaming/ Saturday night Live. I can't thing of one reason to see this movie. Save your money!!!

This movie is totally inappropriate for children! I'm so dissapointed that this was not rated R. My daughters and I got up and left in the middle of the movie, and I regret that they saw what they did. I wish there was a way to get our money back!

The movie was total garbage. Absolute, total garbage, I agree, "zero" stars would be the most appropriate.

Painfully, Will Ferrell does what he does best. I hope the next review of one of his movies is two words: "No Comment" or better yet, three words: "Did Not Watch!"

It is a shame that this movie is, in any way, marketed towards kids. Because it absolutely shouldn't be. The rating should be trusted, and parents shouldn't let their kids watch. To the other commenters, however, you can drop the Christianese. The movie goes beyond not sitting right with one's soul: it doesn't sit right with one's entire being. There's nothing good about it. It's just a bad, bad movie. Agreed, they need to invent zero stars (or negative stars) for the site's reader reviews for films like these. I can handle vulgar Will Ferrell flicks, but only if they're actually funny (Anchorman and a few others). This is just a pile of crap.

I also just came from seeing this movie. My daughter had asked to see it and I had not properly investigated before going. I agree with every thing Paula said. In addition, I also was very offended by the joke in the movie that mocked the love Jesus showed toward us on the cross. Will Farells character contended that he loved the other characters much more than Christ loved us. Very offensive, and untrue. It did allow for us to have a teachable moment with our daughter, and a good reminder for us to do more investigation prior to attending a movie.

Friends, fellow Christians, and fellow Parents: The site made me give one star, but I would have liked to have give ZERO!!!! I just saw this movie and it is not sitting right with my soul; I pray that you will take my words to heart. There were too many kid-inappropriate moments in this movie to name. TONS of cursing and VULGAR humor. Kids talking about getting high and Cialis (a male enhancement drug). Coffee mugs and lighters with breasts on them (and then, of course, jokes to go along with the objects). Men and monkeys touching one lady’s breast. A guy pretending to masturbate when seeing what he referred to as “Big Foot.” Two men with their hands on a giant VIBRATING obelisk and one says to the girl, “you should sit on this!” A man calling a dinosaur a “p*ssy,” and another one saying, “f*ck you,” to a monkey. Please, do not take your children to see this movie.
