'Land of the Lost' web reviews
Will Ferrell embarks on a new adventure in Brad Silberling's "Land of the Lost," based on the '70s TV series of the same title. Along with Danny McBride and Anna Friel, Ferrell discovers a new universe in which he encounters weird creatures and other surprises. Here's what the Web's critics have to say about it:
• Jeff Otto at LatinoReview: "There are plenty of problems with 'LOTL,' but for the most part Ferrell and McBride deliver enough entertaining comedy and Friel passes the eye candy test."
• Todd Gilchrist at Cinematical: "Directed by Brad Silberling and starring Will Ferrell, this update on the Sid and Marty Krofft television series from the 1970s is the strangest, filthiest summer movie I think I've ever seen."
• Josh Tyler at CinemaBlend: "The thing that Silberling and everyone involved in this film simply does not seem to get is that it’s the world they’re in that’s funny, not the people who have landed in it."
• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "While I remain one of the few people that got a laugh out of Will Ferrell's 'Semi-Pro,' it appears this film is going to be another bust in Ferrell's career unless family audiences warm to it more than I expect."
• Chris Bumbray at Joblo: "All and all though- I really, truly loathed this film."
• Matt Goldberg at Collider: "But despite the familiarity, I was laughing. I can’t remember at what, but I do remember laughing."
