For a cheesy, quick laugh...this would be a movie to watch. Although my youngest is 12, I would not go any younger than that with this movie. There was alot of language in this movie (the F word was mouthed once, not said aloud), and tons of sexual innuendos. The apeman kept pawing at the girls chest, coffee cups with breasts, and group of girls (from apeman tribe) with long hair barely covering their chest. This movie is totally different than the original so don't expect to watch this movie with that in mind.

What Parents Need to Know
About Land of the Lost
Parents need to know that this big-screen version of the cult-classic 1970s TV show has lots of vulgar language, as well as an extended sequence in which some of the main characters are clearly stoned on a natural narcotic/hallucinogenic substance. There's also a high degree of body-function humor: At one point, a character douses himself in dinosaur urine to mask his scent, an egg is removed from a huge pile of dinosaur feces, and a character is swallowed whole and later excreted by a dinosaur.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the phenomenon of '70s TV shows coming to the big screen. Does this represent the fact that these shows have wormed their way into the public consciousness because they were worthwhile -- or is it just about making money?
- Families can also talk about Will Ferrell -- what do all of his characters seem to have in common? What's behind his comedic appeal?

This movie is so funny. There is some bad things in it. There is LOTS of language, LOTS of seual jokes, innuendoes. So what, the story isn't very good. We watch a comedy movie to laugh! This movie did that for me. I think this movie is iffy for 12 years old.

Tacky - nothing like the original
Tacky humor that was not funny - Will Ferrell keeps doing the same tacky humor and in the first few movies it might have been somewhat funny - but it is now worn out. Also I watched this tv show as a kid and this movie is completely different - not even the same characters. Holly was the daughter in the tv show - the movie has her as Marshall's love interest.

It's kinda bad
land Of The Lost is a really funny movie but when I went to see it I didn't think there would be as much cussing as there was , they said lots of bad words that were stronger than others , and there was some inappropriate sex humor that was kind of bad . But it could be way worse .

Misguided and Uncomfortable - Rerate at least 12+ (C-)
Considering the advertising hype for this movie seems to indicate that this is a family film, I was so glad I saw this before my children. Awfully misguided film, and although the humour may be more targeted to young boys of 13 who find jokes about breast fondling / masterbation / vulgar language and drug references 'hilarious', the fact that this is advertised on 'younger' Kids channels in the UK is a disgrace. It made the whole experience quite uncomfortable. I would personally rate this film 12+ such is the general content. Really not that funny. Will Ferrel what ARE you doing...? Bring back Ron Burgundy!

This movie was hilarious, but very much. For instance, they made a lot of references to masturbation, and one scene almost ruined it for me. Thats why I gave this a very iffy 13 plus.

nobody should have to sit through this, but really not for kids.
This movie was terrible for children under 13 years of age. Advertising movies like this on Nickelodeon makes me sick. My 7 and 9 year old were dying to see it, and sadly, we did.

Will Ferrel is an idiot.
This is such a stupid movie. I'm not sure why they even made it. It makes no since whatsoever. It goes from dinosaurs to these weird alien lizard things. I wanted to throw stuff at the screen when I saw this movie. Will Ferrel truly is an annoying actor. All his movies have absolutely no point to them. It makes me mad. But don't see this movie. Or if you do watch it make sure you make fun of it the whole time.

Great movie !
It's only appropriate if your about 8 or older . Language is a little strong for PG - 13 so is sex . But it's a funny movie and you'll probably enjoy it .

Don't waste your money/time & definitely don't take the kids.
If you liked Talladega Nights you might like this one- they're about on par. I don't see any point. Done right slapstick and silliness can be great humor. This brand is tiresome; it doesn't take talent to be crude, tacky & generally derogatory. I would hesitate to take anyone under 16 and anyone over won't find anything worthwhile unless raunchy mindless drivel is your cup of tea.

AWESOME!!!!
When i saw it in the theaters it was a hilarious throughout the whole movie while fun it can also scare young kids with realistic dinosaurs. and one scene were a bunch of velosoraptors were fighting over a man in a truck the man frantically trying to escape for his life later in the movie the truck was ripped open tippacly telling that the man was eaten.
