Critics Consensus

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain has its share of funny moments, but they aren't enough to fill a full-length feature.

Audience Says

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is hilariously dumb fun, especially if you're close to the same age as the titular comedy troupe.

Craig Mathieson

Sydney Morning Herald

Their group dynamic needs to figure out how to better distinguish their personas, but they’re also generous in sharing the screen. The funniest role they’ve written here goes to Meg Stalter as a deluded park ranger.

Rated: 3/5

The Daily Beast

With their uneven feature vehicle Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, the three decamp to small-town North Carolina as doofuses far outside showbiz, though “Ben,” “Martin,” and “John” remain suspended in a state of arrested adolescence.

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

A one-note comedy that’s sloppily written, poorly acted, and lacks any semblance of an inspired comedic spark.

Justine Elias

The Arts Desk

As is typical for an SNL-spawned movie, Treasure meanders. Unusually though, the ratio of jokes to running time remains favorable, even if some of the surprise cameos fail to amaze.

Rated: 3/5

CBR

Unfortunately, Please Don't Destroy's first feature-length film offers a painfully predictable story and fails to elicit almost any laughs.

Three 26-year-old deadbeats go on a treasure hunt in this movie with Workaholics type humor.

This harkens a lot of early SNL movies, especially the goofiness of an early Adam Sandler paired with The Lonely Island’s Hot Rod.

A good comedy it's fun it's silly and they didn't try and get deep and meaningful at the end.

Cade H.

This comedy is filled to the brim with a wide array of hilarious jokes, from zany one line zingers to clever callbacks later in the movie. The plot is enjoyable and engaging enough to where the jokes in the movie aren’t forced to carry the entire film, making the comedic dialogue between characters feel less forced. The storyline does have lulls throughout the film, making the pacing of the film seem choppy and slow at points.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
