I guess you have to be in the mood for a goofball picture like this. I guess I was. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Land of the Lost has stray amusing tidbits, but overall it leaves you feeling splattered. - 50
L.A. Weekly
It ends up sagging into a pleasantly undistinguished pudding. The big news is that Matt Lauer, playing himself, can act. A little. Hardly at all, really. But he’s a jolly good sport, and quite handy with a fire extinguisher. - 38
ReelViews
A turd of T-Rex proportions, Land of the Lost makes one remember last summer's "Speed Racer" fondly. - 38
Miami Herald
The whole thing feels at least three summers too stale. - 38
Boston Globe
Genially terrible, Lost is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more. - 30
Variety
The result is a movie with an exceedingly narrow target audience that should test Will Ferrell's appeal among boys maybe ages 12-14 -- about the only demo likely able to endure this laborious mess. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Lame sketch comedy, an uninspired performance from Will Ferrell and an overall failure of the imagination turn Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost into a lethargic meander through a wilderness of misfiring gags.
