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.

I love this group. They're always hilarious. I look forward to their skits on SNL every Saturday. While the premise has been done before. It didn't take away from the film. I especially love that Conan O' Brien was in the film. I mostly enjoy their positive, and kind attitudes. To be fair. I love anything that non serious. Even in the most serious moments. The humor is still there. I also love how used John Goodman for the voiceover. Perfect choice if you ask me. Bowen Yang being included just made it that much better! I hope these guys continue to stay friends, and create consistent funny content.

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.

The first half of this movie made me laugh out loud. Repeatedly. The last half? More than a little disappointing. In other words, it was only half a good movie...but that is still more than a lot of movies manage to be. There were high highs and lows lows, but the highs were worth it. I laughed more than i groaned (mostly).

Also, my kids loved it. Yet more proof that teenagers always love their generation's SNL movies way more than all the others. This is their Spies Like Us. This is their Three Amigos. You get the idea. Lots of flaws, but lots to love too. These guys find a chemistry that's pretty unique even for this kind of comedy.

While the movie has some funny dialogue and it's worth finishing once you get far enough in to realize it isn't that good, those are the most complementary things I can say about this flick.

On the face this movie is just Without a Paddle redone 20 years later. Group of friends since childhood are growing apart as adults and one of them decides to rekindle the once flourishing friendship by having the group go on a hunt for a fabled treasure they heard about when they were kids. Absolutely the same story as Without a Paddle.

The only thing that sets this apart from the movie it rips off is that the group of guys is more like a direct copy of Mail Order Comedy, the guys who brought you Workaholics and Game Over, Man!

Overall the movie isn't the worst thing you'll ever watch, but it offers zero originality and mostly cheesy humor. Do yourself a favor and plan on spending 90 minutes of your life on something more entertaining. Like re-grouting your shower.
