The trailer for Land of the Lost makes it look like it could easily be a family film. Nothing could be further from the truth. The film contains profanity, one particularly bad word is uttered by Farrel, and a number of very explicit sexual references. In fairness, the MPAA rated this film PG-13 and explains that it contains crude sexual references, but the previews make this look like an action/adventure movie. Additionally, Farrell's character makes a completely unnecessary blasphemous comparison of himself to Jesus on the cross. I know that Farrell is an acquired taste. I thought he was great in Stranger Than Fiction, but he is back to wide-eyed stupidity in this film, it is not funny, and the film does not work. I predict long lines of parents asking for refunds and feeling misled by the trailers. This film may accidentally have a big opening weekend, but expect sharp declines in week two as word gets out about this stinker.
