Overview
On his latest expedition, has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his crack-smart research assistant Holly and redneck survivalist Will into a world populated by marauding dinosaurs and painfully slow creatures called Sleestaks.

A ragbag of lackadaisical plotting, drugs references, puerile lechery and shiny effects work, an assemblage far from child-friendly yet not quite grungey enough to wow older teens.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten
A seriously mistaken enterprise, this Cat in the Hat-worthy stinker grafts the DNA of a Gerald Ford-era children's TV show (barely remembered by thirtysomethings) to the restless-leg freneticism of today's CGI-heavy blockbustering.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

The interesting thing, though, when you actually see "Land of the Lost," is that it ... essentially functions as a high-cost, high-gloss parody of itself.

Farrell and McBride are great together at times in this movie.
