Where do I start? What an epic disaster of a film. Bravo.
First, the clichés. So, many, clichés. It was as if they took every treasure hunting trope and utterly butchered every single one.
The camera work and lighting were also pretty bad. I realize that they had a small budget, but for very cheap, they could have improved their techniques for lighting and making the camera work more interesting.
The acting was also pretty bad, though that can probably partially be attributed to poor direction.
The plot itself was at times confusing and failed to help me get to know any of the characters. Danny was the typical hero who believes in the treasure and proves to everyone else that he was right; his best friend is the typical best friend who is only there for exposition and occasional jokes; the girl is there because...they need a girl on the team, I guess? And so on. Still, I had no idea who any of the characters were (still don't remember their names), and they had no real introduction to the story, except for their roles in the plot. None had any humanlike qualities to them, but were simply a "type" designed to fit their role in the story.
Still, I found it hilariously entertaining to watch. There were some spectacularly funny plot twists at the end (with no buildup or logic to them at all). If you are looking for a film to kill time and laugh at with your family and friends, give it a shot.
