Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

Friends Ben, John and Martin live fairly mundane, uneventful lives, working at a camping store owned by Ben's father, Farley. Then one day Martin determines that a treasure of enormous value may be found nearby, in Foggy Mountain State Park. The three set off to find the treasure.

A film that had the potential to be a laugh-a-minute comedy. The initial scenes have some great lines and the presence of Conan O'Brien as Farley strengthens the film's comedic credentials. However, it never fully gets going a comedy, spluttering along rather than being constantly funny.

The fact that the film seems more preoccupied in being an adventure movie would explain the inconsistent comedy. This wouldn't be so bad if the adventure plot was half-decent but it's not, being rather haphazard and unfocused.

In the end you have something that is half-baked and neither fish nor fowl. A pity, as it had so much potential.

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.

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.

It's not overwhelming. But I think it's well done in regards to a simple entertaining story. I never saw Conan O'Brien in a movie before and honestly, in my opinion he has great potential. And I'd love to see him again in movies. For some reason I just like him big time. It doesn't make you crack up laughing, but besides it just being a cute story about friendship, at the end of the movie there were a few times where it definitely made me giggle. Would I recommend it? Yes. Simply because I don't consider it a waste of time. I enjoyed watching it and I wasn't bored. Good enough for me. I understand for some it might not be enough entertaining, but I've watched quite a lot of movies including B-movies/indie movies because of positive reviews and was sooo disappointed. This is not one of them. It was okay and most important, I don't regret watching it, which is all that matters to me. And don't get me wrong, there are definitely B-movies and indies, which I enjoyed big time. It's just that if they happen to have a lot of good reviews and you find out they are really bad, it just sucks to have wasted time watching it. What I also liked about this movie is that they didn't promote stereotype women. Watch it and you'll know what I mean.

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.
