I chuckled through it all. No gut-busting, and no courtesy knee-slapping, just a consistent flow of one-liners and slapstick. The T-Rex and the Pterodactyl scenes work well on the big screen (you can see the money), but most folks won't care.
I imagine there are probably some good deleted scenes / gag reel on DVD too. I kind of wonder if they'd gone for the R rating, how much could it have been improved?

I still haven't gotten over Ferrell in that Xmas abomination, Elf.

Carrey can actually pull off a decent role, if it's not written specifically for him. Granted, The Truman Show was the only movie I can remember seeing that wasn't at least partially influenced by his In Living Color days.

Seriously, the original may've been a cheap, children's series...but it was also often a surprisingly intelligent, cheap, children's series (like how the Sleestak, for example, devolved from a technologically advanced race into a bunch of primitive, superstitious nitwits) that was written by the likes of Ben Bova, D.C. Fontana, David Gerrold, Larry Niven, Norman Spinrad and Theodore Sturgeon.
If Hollywood can respect a cartoon that was basically just a glorified commercial for a pre-existing line of toys ('Transformers'), then why couldn't it also have shown some respect to 'Land of the Lost'?

Seriously though, they'll probably make it up in DVD sales.

Land of The Lost's buzz? not so much...
