You know what, I caught Land of the Lost at the dollar theater today and had fun with it. It opens with the '70s/'80s Universal logo, just like Drag Me to Hell did earlier this summer, and that's a big indicator of the tone of the rest of the film. It's a $100 million dollar B-movie, but with Ferrell, McBride, and Jorma from the Lonely Island riffing throughout most of the movie. There's a particular sequence that's in the trailer where Ferrell and the gang are running from dinosaurs and it's all hand-held that I really dug (and enjoyed in Cloverfield, too). It's fun, crude, doesn't take itself too seriously, but you can tell that everyone involved cared about what they were making, you know?
I can see where it failed (Ferrell oversaturation, looking too "kiddie"-like, etc...) but it's definitely something that'll catch your attention on cable a few years from now. Glad I didn't see it first run, but in a weak summer for comedies, it didn't fare too badly.
