“Lost” Is “Close To Awful”
Slate’s Nick Schager writes: ‘”Land of the Lost” is halfway toward amusing, which means it’s just as close to awful. Given not only its adult tone, but also the impudence it shows its source material, this remake of the nostalgia-beloved 1974 Sid and Marty Krofft TV series — here reconfigured into the tale of Dr. Rick Marshall’s (Will Ferrell) journey sideways in time to a parallel universe where the past, present, and future collide–often flirts with the type of wild-abandon absurdity that demarcates Ferrell’s successes from failures.’
