Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

Matt Roush says...

They score most weeks as the hapless Saturday Night Live writers known as Please Don’t Destroy (real names: Martin Herlihy, John Higgins and Ben Marshall) in hilarious digital shorts. Do they have what it takes to carry a feature-length comedy movie? From what I’ve seen, it looks entirely possible. The trio plays their usual doltish and emotionally immature selves, embarking on a quest to find a hidden treasure worth up to $100 million presumably buried in a nearby forest. Along the way, they encounter hostile park rangers (Meg Stalter and X Mayo), a creepy cult leader (SNL’s Bowen Yang), a hawk with attitude and other creatures of the wild in a series of slapstick adventures. Bonus: Conan O’Brien appears as the father of Ben, at one point described as looking “like a colonial ghost.”
