Please Don't Destroy|| A Treasure Hunt.

Cast

John Higgins

I did a little research and it turns out that John Higgins is indeed related to Steve Higgins.

John played the role of a somewhat lonely adult and one part of the trio who set out to find the treasure. He was like the mastermind behind the whole trip. It may please you to know that he planned this trip with an ulterior motive and somewhere along the line, this motive was achieved.

Ben Marshal

Ben was the second friend in the trio. He was that kid who constantly kept trying to impress his father; in other words, he painstakingly tried to live up to his dad's standards but along the line, he learnt a vital lesson.

Ben was a firm supporter of both of his friends and he made it clear that he could do anything to make these friends happy

Martin Herlihy

In my opinion, Martin fit the role he played perfectly. I'm certain the movie director didn't have to make so many modifications to this particular character.

Martin was the third member of the trio who was in a serious relationship with a devout church goer. Their bind was a really amusing one as it also proved the theory that 'unlike poles attract'.

Bowen Yang

The introduction of this character made things even more interesting. Bowen happened to be one of the very first treasure hunters who sought out the treasure at the foggy mountain but as you must have already guessed, he failed.

Deciding not to be a total failure, he started a cult. The cult was basically made up of treasure hunters who came after him and had failed too. A perfect demonstration of 'a bunch of losers'.

However, I liked how well he played his role while still managing to maintain his status as a respected cult leader.

My Opinion

I kept laughing intermittently inbetween scenes but my mind didn't register the fact that this was a satirical movie. Why? A majority of the 'treasure hunt' movies I've seen have been under the 'adventure' and 'thrills' genre. Seeing something different for a change felt really nice.

The interesting part of it all was the way the casts acted. They looked totally clueless but somehow, it felt like they knew exactly what they were doing.

Also, I loved how important lessons were taught. The movie basically centred around friendship and how beautiful it is but the script writer ensured that he saliently stated the fact that as we grow and progress in life, our friends may trade different paths. This doesn't mean that we've been erased from their memory. It only means that they are not stagnated. This also throws more light on the fact that true friendship bonds are never really broken.

Recommendation

I would gladly recommend this movie to everyone. It promises to be hilarious. Even if you're not in the mood for satirical or funny movies, you're certainly going to learn a thing or two from this piece of magnificence.

It is going to be worth your time, so why not give it a shot?
