Amateur movie reviewer: Land of the Lost

Viewed 06/05/09. Premiered 06/05/09. A fun, smart updating of the Sid & Marty Kroft’s kid show from the 70s; The tweaking of the characters made sense, an outdoorsman father and his two kids would not survive long in such an environment. So in this updating, the human characters were not related: two were scientists and the third a survivalist (though I didn’t see much evidence of that in the film). There were a lot of really funny scenes throughout, especially Chaka’s few seconds in the spotlight as he demonstrated his singing prowess. A fun movie I would recommend for Will Ferrell fans as well as those wanting a trip down memory lane. Beware of taking young children to this flick, there’s some adult language (mostly from Ferrell) and some really, really mild adult situations (the initial meeting with Chaka come to mind); gotta love the ending though. Can “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters” be the next Kroft show to get a reboot? The world may never know. Gave this flick three stars!
