Will Ferrell’s new film, Land of the Lost, is shockingly unfunny, unyieldingly grating and part of a disturbing new trend in Hollywood: the repellent leading man. Like Seth Rogen in Observe and Report, Ferrell spends the entire film doing everything in his power to be entirely unlikable, all the while winking at the camera as if the audience is in on the joke.

The sad thing is, this isn’t a joke anyone would want to be a part of.

See It or Skip It: Land of the Lost

Will Ferrell's new film Land of the Lost is shockingly unfunny. If it weren't for Danny McBride, who Ferrell appears to be grooming for takeover, the film would be any entirely lost cause. It's more like Land of Lost Charisma and Charm. Blech. Skip It.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
