Director: Brad Silberling
Stars: Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures
The Plot: On his latest expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell) is sucked into a space-time vortex
alongside his research assistant (Friel) and a redneck survivalist (McBride). In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka (Taccone), their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures. Can they all make it back to our world alive, and if so: Will Dr. Marshall can go from zero to hero with his discoveries?
THE BUZZ: Say what you want about Kroft’s original ’70s Saturday morning fix (if you can even remember it), sleestaks, pakunies and Marshall Marshall are ripe for parody. And, Ferrell’s just the right guy to deliver it. While many seem ready to write off his various shirtless, man-boy, sport-spoof antics, we’re not. Mostly because he’s still funny as hell. Plus, we can’t wait to see what he and already-arrived comic McBride come up with together.
