Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

I was so excited for this film but it felt... disappointing. The guys pulled their punches and you could kind of feel their humor trying to break through, but it was like it had been through the washing machine of lane Hollywood Apatow humor. Like the small bits that made me laugh didn't even match how much PDD makes me laugh from a simple SNL skit. The pacing was weird and it made me feel kind of sad for the guys that this was their film debut. It's hard to describe other than that it felt like it went off the rails but not in a good way like their SNL skits. It was more off the rails in a stupid way. When we got to the cult, I really was just ready for it to be over, and then Bowen Yang added nothing to it. It was sad.

Age of entitlement! Who gave these mediocre SNL writers the idea that writing comedy is the same as acting in a comedy?

Writing, formulaic and almost scientific these days, and visualizing what the characters say and do, doesn't make one the best choice to act out those characters in front of the camera.

I mean, they know that already. So, why humiliate yourself? Even your SNL's mini movies aren't funny, well maybe one or two, but a 3min sketch is not the same as a 90min movie.

Sometimes, a chef is better complimented if he's not seen by the customers. So, stay in the writers room.

Oh, the movie? It's bad.

I really enjoyed this stupid movie, they are the highlight of SNL and definitely my type of humor. It's corny, little one liners delivered just awkwardly enough to make me crack up. You follow three friends on the adventure for the treasure. Along the way they get robbed, tricked, and end up with a cult.

Time flies when watching this goofy flick and you can't help but root for this absurd friendship. What will come of the treasure? Will they make it out of the forest alive? Will they be millionaires and be happy?

We also get some amazing cameos from Conan O'Brien and Bowen Yang. Definitely worth checking out!

A pretty good late-night-comedy worth the watch.

With that being said, it was literally Workaholics. Ders, Blake, and Adam are literally ripped off to full effect. You can tell these guys watched Workaholics as kids and it's fine. They did a nice job paying homage to their heroes, but they could've made it a little more subtle.

Other than that, it's seriously a fun little romper and my gf and I got a good kick out of it. I love some fun late-night-comedies and this movie gets it right where others fail miserably. I'm not going to rank it up there with Grandmas Boy or Hot Rod but it's worth the watch if you want to watch a fun adventure movie that will give you some laughs.

Conan is also pretty amazing to see, and if you watch it for him alone it is great. He's not just a cameo but plays a nice part in it.

Watch it with a friend or two and have some fun with it.

This is just an old-fashioned slapstick comedy. If you're not amused by a kick in the balls, this may not be for you.

The acting is terrible, of course, but that's part of the genre. Nothing is taken seriously, it's just a bunch of kids having fun, the story is ridiculous, but a real story would actually be a distraction here. Bowen Yang and Conan O'Brien do a fine job, and the main characters are pretty much the same as what you see on SNL.

The production is actually quite good, this kind of movie is typically done more on the cheap.

So no, an Oscar is not likely, but if you just want to have fun with a bunch of goofballs, you may enjoy this movie.
