This movie was funnier and better than Year One, but not by much. It had too much computer animation for Will Ferrell's comedic style.Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell) has been shunned and ostracized from the scientific community after years of failed testing and an embarrassing national interview. Now stuck teaching middle schoolers, Marshall is approached by Holly (Anna Friel) and she convinces him to retest his equipment that would transport him to alternate universes. After finding the right locale to perform the test, and getting lead out by a rude tourist trapper named Will (Danny McBride), the test goes right and all three are floating through time and space. In the new land, they meet Chaka, Enik and the Sleestaks, and get chased by a smarter-than-your-average dinosaur. Can't get more simple than that.
The reason this was slightly better than the aforementioned Harold Ramis comedy is the teaming of Ferrell and McBride because they work so well off of each other that you can't help but laugh at some of their conversations. The movie as a whole was bloated and rife with spots of boredom, which is why I say nay.
