Please Don't Destroy is a comedy troupe best known for their work on "Saturday Night Live," picking up the weird-short-videos-from-three-friends mantle previously held by The Lonely Island. Members John Higgins, Ben Marshall, and Martin Herlihy have a special approach to comedy, combining intense emotional highs and lows with healthy amounts of absurdity, sold with lightning-fast edits and zoom-happy cinematography. Their bits are often limited to their office space, and the gang uses the art of brevity well. Much like The Lonely Island, Please Don't Destroy is ready for a cinematic upgrade, with "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" their debut movie, requiring Higgins, Marshall, and Herlihy to think bigger and much longer with their screenplay. Not straying far from their sense of humor, "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" is a big goof, but it's also a very funny one, with Please Don't Destroy successfully handling the challenge of length with a fast-paced, wonderfully silly romp.
