I am a huge Will Ferrell fan. I thought this movie was awesome. The trailers for this film are very misleading. They make it out to be a kid's movie, but it is actually a somewhat irreverent, weird, slightly adult PG-13 film. Anyone who was a fan of the original, I think, will appreciate the weirdness of it & see that the filmmakers have created a very loving homage to the trippy Sid & Marty Kroft television on which it is based. My favorite parts of the movie were Danny McBride's Will Stanton, the creepy-as-hell Sleestaks & Chaka, who's been turned into a horny, dirty little creature. The special effects (especially the T-Rex, Grumpy) & the production design are great & do a good job of making it FEEL like Land of the Lost. Much better than expected.
