Please Dont Destroy, the comedy troupe consisting of Martin Herlihy, John Higgins and Ben Marshallroutinely one of the best factor about Saturday Evening Dwell because of the troupes good brief movieswill get its first feature-length film with Please Dont Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain.
The film has a number of good laughs stretched over a plot that wears a bit skinny in its second half, however the film is good-natured and humorous sufficient to be price your whereas, particularly in case you are aware of PDD.
Issues begin robust as we see the boys reporting to work on the Scheels-like megastore Trout Plus, the place Bens offended father (the one and solely Conan OBrien, killing it within the function) longs for his son to take life severely and cease feeding bread to the turtles. Whereas Ben seeks fatherly love, Martin is getting ready for an grownup baptism to impress his girlfriend (Nichole Sakura), and John combats loneliness.
Whereas browsing nature porn, John discovers {that a} relic he has in his possession accommodates a map to the Treasure of Foggy Mountain, which ultimately leads to the boys happening a wilderness trek. The tenting stuff is humorous sufficient, however issues get a bit drained once they encounter a cult led by SNLs Bowen Yang.
Regardless of the plot going a bit off observe, the laughs stay constantin the identical, foolish method their SNL shorts present humor. The fellows enjoy nonsense, and its laborious to look at them for any size of time with out laughing. That stated, a movie the place theyd simply stayed at Trout Plus and handled every day life, or a film with them getting misplaced within the woods with out the treasure hunt and cult stuff, would possiblyve been preferable.
