I guess you have to be in the mood for a goofball picture like this. I guess I was.

Land of the Lost has stray amusing tidbits, but overall it leaves you feeling splattered.

It ends up sagging into a pleasantly undistinguished pudding. The big news is that Matt Lauer, playing himself, can act. A little. Hardly at all, really. But he’s a jolly good sport, and quite handy with a fire extinguisher.
A turd of T-Rex proportions, Land of the Lost makes one remember last summer's "Speed Racer" fondly.

Genially terrible, Lost is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more.

The result is a movie with an exceedingly narrow target audience that should test Will Ferrell's appeal among boys maybe ages 12-14 -- about the only demo likely able to endure this laborious mess.

Lame sketch comedy, an uninspired performance from Will Ferrell and an overall failure of the imagination turn Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost into a lethargic meander through a wilderness of misfiring gags.
