Movie Reviews:

  • CinemaSerf: So after the bloody revolution began in Paris in 1789, a priceless statue of Queen Marie Antoinette went missing. Many centuries later, amongst a rural American community, rumour is rife that this very treasure is hidden deep beneath their local “Foggy Mountain”. Bored and a bit restless, local geeks Martin Herlihy, John Higgins and Ben Marshall – the characters all keep the christian names of their actors to keep it simple – decide to prove their mettle and so set off to find it. Along the way they encounter two park rangers “Lisa” (Megan Stalter) and “Taylor” (X Mayo) who cotton on to their plan and decide to let the boys do the heavy lifting as they combat the wilderness, a rather bizarre cult led by “Deetch” (Bowen Yang) and hopefully make it back to the supermarket they call work as heroes… This isn’t terrible, this film – there is a fun chemistry between the three lads, but it’s nowhere near enough to sustain a full length feature. The humour slips into an almost farcical style of slapstick after about ten minutes of character development and then struggles to stay entertaining as the story struggles to keep pace with, well, the pace – it doesn’t hang about. To be fair, it’s not boring but it’s all a bit too crass and comes across more a compendium of “Indiana Jones” or “National Treasure” inspired short sketches with some working better than others. Watchable, but entirely forgettable, sorry.
