Review of Land of the Lost (2009) by Darren H — 01 Dec 2012
This flawed film is a testament to letting actors ad-lib and improvise, especially when the script is so bad. Will Ferrell and Danny McBride make the best of a bad situation with sometimes funny bantor, but the movie as a whole seems to play like a 90 minute Saturday Night Live skit that should have only lasted about 6 minutes at the most.
Kudos to Matt Lauer for providing the only real humor during the opening and closing scenes. Director Brad Silberling is known for his more serious fare ("City Of Angels") and seemed out of his league here with no way to interpret the source material.
Of course, the source material was terrible to begin with so maybe any director would have had the same problem.
