'Matt Lauer Can Suck It' by Dr. Rick Marshall - Blu ray review Feb 28, 2010
A remake of Sid and Marty Krofft's Land of the Lost TV show. Your take on the movie will depend on how you feel about the show. If you thought the show was great science fiction (you were probably high watching it or 7 years old), than this isn't for you. Most people who remember how bad the show was will get this! It is funny! Comedy master Will Ferrell is as a washed up scientist, who gets vindicated when his expedition takes a wrong turn. Now, he and his smoking hot assistant Holly and a dumb as nails redneck named Will, with no weapons and limited smarts must survive a world full of smart dinosaurs and weird creatures. If they can't, Will Ferrell will never be able to stick it in Matt Lauer's face!!!
This is an enjoyable slapstick comedy. The visuals are great as well. The dinosaurs in the movie would make Spielberg cry! Bottom line, if you are into sophisticated comedies...steer clear of this! This is a must own for Will Ferrell fans.
NOW FOR MY BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Universal rocks! The picture is outrageous! The sound is fantastic. All the special features are ported over from the DVD. FINAL VERDICT: UPGRADE WORTHY!
 lets just turn it into a comedy, yeah, that will make big bucks right? Feb 27, 2010
There is something about Hollywood's relentless drive to take any old script from a somewhat serious 70's children's show and turn it into a comedy. Gosh knows why. Lack of imagination? Lack of drive? I mean, if you really took the effort to take a show like the land of the lost and make it into a serious movie it would certainly generate lots of money for those who grew up in that era and would watch it purely for the nostalgia. Sigh, anyway, Hollywood has their own version of mathematics: turn a fun, nostalgic kids show from the 70's into a comedic pile of garbage and alienate the fans and ruin the franchise potential and loose a couple of million dollars and then scratch their heads and say "gosh, why didnt that work". Simply put, dont watch this movie.
 Great Buy! Feb 22, 2010
I ordered this as a girt, and it arrived safely, well packaged and even sooner than they said it would. Much easier than shopping in the mall.
Bad fit. Feb 21, 2010
Aside from the fact the comedy itself is bad my main beef with this movie is that LOTL is supposed to be a scifi genre. This was not scifi but very poorly done comedy. I can't believe they took a somewhat decent show and ripped it to shreds. Hopefully someday a remake that does justice to the series will be done.
Condemned to "The Land of the Lost" Feb 15, 2010
A true disappointment. Maybe it's because I don't appreciate this type of sense of humor, but I really thought this was a disaster from the get-go. It was much like a made-for-cable movie, but I've seen much better in that genre. With its sexual overtones and Chaka constantly grabbing Holly's boobs, this misses the boat for the family as well. It earns "1" star for some of the special effects...definitely not for the script or acting. This flick is eternally condemned to the "Land of the Lost".
