Land of the Lost (2009, dir. Brad Silberling)

A debunked anthropologist and his companions are accidentally transported to an alien world. A deliberately daft semi-spoof version of the 70s TV show, focusing on set-piece comedy, improvised moments and on some rude running gags. Not bad if you go with it, though not for everyone, the flick relying on your capacity for its star’s mugging.
