    Production

    Production for the film began on March 4, 2008. Only one week's worth of filming was shot using a large-scale soundstage with green screen technology. The rest of filming took place on location in places such as the Dumont Dunes in the Mojave Desert, the La Brea Tar Pits in Hancock Park, and Trona, California.

    It all amounts to a certain brand of comedy – something closer to long-form Dada than conventional humor.

    Genially terrible, Lost is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more.

    Dull, unfunny, and completely unsuitable for viewing by anyone who isn’t a charter member of the Will Farrell fan club.

    Orlando Sentinel June 3, 2009

    Stupid on an epic scale or epic on a stupid one, Land of the Lost is as close as Will Ferrell comes these days to a 'kid friendly' movie.

    metro.co.uk July 31, 2009

    A good-natured, hit-and-miss mess, further muddied by some seriously inappropriate humour.

    The only positive thing I can say about Land of the Lost is that it’s so bad perhaps it will put an end to the classic-TV-to-film machine.

    New York Daily News June 4, 2009

    This Land exists at the bottom of the pop-cultural barrel.

    A doughily inexpressive Will Ferrell extinguishes any flicker of originality in one of the worst performances of his career.

    Land of the Lost is halfway toward amusing, which means it’s just as close to awful.

    Daily Telegraph July 31, 2009

    The humour is lame and more than a little smutty, while the plot barely hangs together.

    "Chucky, your mother!" Farrell was born for such roles. Fun and stupid in a good way, but not enough!
