The big screen adaptation of Land of the Lost is fast becoming a Will Farrell comedy. Which is good news if you are a Will Ferrell Fan, but maybe not so good if you are a Land of the Lost fan. Land of the Lost was an adventure film, filled with all the wonder of this strange new world. I keep wanting to like this because of my nostalgia for Land of the Lost, but Ferrell keeps reminding me that this isn’t it.
I have said it before and I will again. I am just tired of Will Farrell’s comedy. So far what I have seen of this film in trailers and promo clips, I flip flop from recalling just why I love Ferrell and then I get tired scenes like the one above that reminds me why I am tired of him.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Will Ferrell and I think he is fine for his sort of comedy. If this is what you are going for, there is no better man for the job. But I think that I have seen his stylings a little too frequently and its just going on too long for me. Nothing serious, just not all that excited for it.
Anna Friel might be the only thing that saves me and gets me to watch this. I don’t know that I could resist.
