Prehistoric Killing Part Two: Lost in Hell

The title of this review, Lost in Hell, pretty much wraps up the movie, Land of the Lost. Rarely do I consider leaving the theatre after fifteen minutes, but it only took ten to realize this movie wasn't going anywhere. Eventually it becomes difficult to discern the difference between dinosaurs, cavemen, aliens and Will Ferrel. They all become jumbled into one stupid movie. Of course in the end an obsessive need to see what happens at the end kept me sitting in my seat for the entire hour and half, but as originally expected it was not worth the time.

Watching Land of the Lost is a bit like trying to laugh while reading the dictionnary... here give it a shot:

bland
adj., bland·er, bland·est.

1. Characterized by a moderate, unperturbed, or tranquil quality, especially:
a) Pleasant in manner; smooth: a bland smile.
b) Not irritating or stimulating; soothing: a bland diet.
c) Exhibiting no personal worry, embarrassment, or concern: told a series of bland lies.
2.
a) Dull and insipid: a bland little drama.
b) Having little or no distinctive flavor: bland cooking.

The biggest difference is that the dictionary isn't trying.

Will Ferrel was once a man famous for his roles in classic comedies like Old School and Anchorman. Now he will apparently act in any movie that throws a dime at him. This movie had zero potential and the fact that Will Ferrell thought that he had something to gain from playing a role in this movie is slightly disturbing.

It has however opened my eyes to how low Ferrell has sunk, I think I may just give him twenty bucks to star in my new comedy:

DICTIONARY: Letters A-B

Get ready for multiple sequels and more entertainment than Land of the Lost.
