Land Of The Lost - Daft, harmless, silly fun

Looking at the figures for Land of the Lost, it tells us that the film was a box office flop, recouping less than half its cost to make.

I think that's a little unfair. Granted it's never going to win any Oscars, but if you're in the mood for something silly then you could certainly do worse.

It tells the story of Will Ferrell, playing basically Will Ferrell (his acting isn't much different to most of what he does) as a scientist who - and it doesn't really matter how - slips into another time/dimension/world - whatever - with hotpant-wearing Anna Friel and some redneck guy. There, they come up against various monsters like ape men, dinosaurs, lizard men and a T-rex with a grudge.

Yes, it's completely daft and stupid. But it's also quite amusing. Just sit back, put your brain on hold and enjoy.

Did I mention Anna Friel wears hotpants a lot?

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
