MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Land of the Lost
Space-time vortexes suck. Dr. Rick Marshall is sucked into one and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world--a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the "Land of the Lost." Sucked alongside him for the adventure are crack-smart research assistant Holly and a redneck survivalist named Will. Chased by T. rex and stalked by painfully slow reptiles known as Sleestaks, Marshall, Will and Holly must rely on their only ally--a primate called Chaka--to navigate out of the hybrid dimension. Escape from this routine expedition gone awry and they're heroes. Get stuck, and they'll be permanent refugees in the "Land of the Lost."

Dirty, vulgar dinosaur time-warp flick not Will Ferrell’s finest work
Not long into "Land of the Lost," there's a joke about a monkey-man grabbing a woman's breast (the first of many), a sign the movie itself is a little lost. The movie is meant to be a time-warp yarn about a hybrid dimension where past and present co-exist, fertile ground for an imaginative comedy, tailor-made for out post-modern, mash-up culture.

I don't want to get too worked up over the impossible waste of time and money that is Land of the Lost, because ultimately it's just another Will Ferrell knuckleheader - he takes off his shirt, thrusts his chest tufts and beer gut, and says dopey stuff that'll elicit laughs.

Dave Davies: Public dollars are to serve the public. If we whack them up into slush funds that Democratic and Republican party leaders can use to compete with each other, we invite exactly the kind of mischief alleged by grand juries in the Bonusgate probes.
