Featured reviews
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.
With that being said, it was literally Workaholics. Ders, Blake, and Adam are literally ripped off to full effect. You can tell these guys watched Workaholics as kids and it's fine. They did a nice job paying homage to their heroes, but they could've made it a little more subtle.
Other than that, it's seriously a fun little romper and my gf and I got a good kick out of it. I love some fun late-night-comedies and this movie gets it right where others fail miserably. I'm not going to rank it up there with Grandmas Boy or Hot Rod but it's worth the watch if you want to watch a fun adventure movie that will give you some laughs.
Conan is also pretty amazing to see, and if you watch it for him alone it is great. He's not just a cameo but plays a nice part in it.
Watch it with a friend or two and have some fun with it.
Time flies when watching this goofy flick and you can't help but root for this absurd friendship. What will come of the treasure? Will they make it out of the forest alive? Will they be millionaires and be happy?
We also get some amazing cameos from Conan O'Brien and Bowen Yang. Definitely worth checking out!
On the face this movie is just Without a Paddle redone 20 years later. Group of friends since childhood are growing apart as adults and one of them decides to rekindle the once flourishing friendship by having the group go on a hunt for a fabled treasure they heard about when they were kids. Absolutely the same story as Without a Paddle.
The only thing that sets this apart from the movie it rips off is that the group of guys is more like a direct copy of Mail Order Comedy, the guys who brought you Workaholics and Game Over, Man!
Overall the movie isn't the worst thing you'll ever watch, but it offers zero originality and mostly cheesy humor. Do yourself a favor and plan on spending 90 minutes of your life on something more entertaining. Like re-grouting your shower.
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.
