2.5/4  Funny Comedy or Big F/X Movie?
I'm split on this one. I like the comedy and I thought the film as a majority was pretty funny. However, there was some inconsistancy. I'd be watching a Will Ferral comedy one moment and the next I was seeing a summer blockbuster big F/... (read full)

3/4  Funny but not Hilarious
Though the movie wasn't as hilarious as I wanted, it was definitely more creative than expected. It was completely off the wall and unexpected. Will Ferrell was funny like usual and Anna Friel spiced it up a bit. Overall, a good comedy to ... (read full)

5/5 Good Comedy Fun!
  by Y. Lokchine (New York)
If you like Will Ferrell, then you will like this movie. People say it was stupid and didn't accurately portray the series. Well maybe thats because its meant to make you laugh at the slee-stacks not take them seriously. And do Ferrell and McBride conjure up images of serious actors? No. Its a Ferrell/McBride and Chaka comedy (oh that Chaka is a thousand laughs...). With that cast, what did you expect? If you like good old fashioned silly comedy, then you will like this movie. I watched it twice in one week. One time sober, the other drunk and had fun both times. Watch it!

3/5 Has its laughs but not very good

It was fun the first time around and I think thats all its meant to be. I cant imagine having to watch this a second time through though. It seemed really drawn out the first time around.

3/5 Who ever told Will Ferrell he was funny????
  by Joe Russo (Bricktown, NJ USA)
Too bad. This could have been good if they did it seriously but with some humor. This was just dumb. The T-rex and other effects are cool but not enough to save it. The tv series is much better even though old and dated.
Will Ferrell is just not funny even in a stupid way. It is worth a rent and a watch but that's about it.

1/5 Utter disaster
  by Xavier Goffin (Luxembourg)
Awful, unbelievably stupid, boring movie. The kind that makes you think about hitting the Stop button after 5 minutes, and end up doing it after 15... Don't be misled by those enthusiastic critics. This is definitely a complete and frustrating waste of money.

5/5 Better than the original show
  by William B. Bangs (Irvine, California)
As a fan of the original Seventies series, I had high hopes for this film: hopes that were actually exceeded, both in terms of what I imagined a remake could achieve and as compared to the original Kroft show. Basically, it's so bad, it's good -- very tongue in cheek, yet it tells a real story. Instead of a dad and kids, this is a crackpot scientist (Dr. Rick Marshal: Will Ferrel), his groupie (Holly Cantrel From Cambridge Who Thinks He's Brilliant: Anna Friel) and Will No-Last-Name (Danny McBride). Dr. Ridiculous has invented a "tacheon amplifier" which moves its holder sideways in time, and thrusts Marshal, Will and Holly in their tiny raft into an all-mixed-up prehistoric world where the dynos and sleestacks you remember prey on anyone who falls through the portal -- which is located inside Will's made-up cave ride "attraction!" With what you're thinking during most B action movies spoken aloud, great period music inserted at strategic times and a Chaka who really speaks Pakumi, this flick is a blast from the past that's better than the original because the latter took itself way too seriously. The blu-ray edition has LOADS of great extras, some of which you'll have to be connected to the internet to access and cool animated menus which are styled after the closing credits visuals. Some of the CG images are surprisingly less than crisply outlined. Still, this is well worth it for Ferrel fans, Kroft junkies and happy "campers." ENJOY
