Please Don't Destroy: Mascothood

s

This is just an old-fashioned slapstick comedy. If you're not amused by a kick in the balls, this may not be for you. 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.

I must be missing something huge here. How did Conan O'Brien and John Goodman sign off on being a part of this film? The main three characters were horrific rip-offs and unfunny versions of the Workaholics. The plot was non-existent, but if I had to compare it to anything, I'd say it's a terrible ripoff of "Without a Paddle." Maybe they were trying for "The Package," which to me was surprisingly hilarious. Bottom line, there was nothing funny, nothing original, and the comedy group that made this should be embarrassed for using whatever nepotism they must possess for getting this made. I'm sure those guys are funny doing improve, but this movie was impossible to watch.

It just doesnt make sense to stretch this from a short sketch into a movie. It's not really that funny. It's mildly amusing. Which is probably OK for a short time, but then you just really want it to stop. It's like watching someone in a wheelchair trying to get up a curb, and you laugh, but then realize you probably shouldn't, which is kind of funny in itself. OK...but would you just sit there and keep watching someone in a wheelchair trying to get past a curb for an hour? No. Well, you wouldn't watch this for an hour either. Although I have to admit that 10 minutes of watching this felt super long. I can easily imagine this movie used as a torture device. We can force terrorists and enemy spies to watch it. I have no idea why I thought this might be good. Im not sure there are any good movies made at all.

What a pleasant surprise!. I don't really know anything about this guys, other than I've seen them on Saturday Night Live, so I was delighted when I started laughing as soon as the movie starts. Making people cry could be easier, just because we all cry for the same reasons. But, comedy is relative, and if you want to make someone laugh you'll have to pick the audience and be careful how to tickle your pickle. When you make the right combinations of silly, dark, slapstick, irreverent and you find the exact proportions you have the recipe for success. This kids found the perfect amount of everything that is good. This is not only good, it's excellent!. Hope to see more of this talented group.

I had never seen these guys before, but I figured if the were SNL regulars, the movie would be decent. I was wrong. What a yawner! I think maybe it was supposed to be a remodel of Without A Paddle, but I found nothing funny about it at all. I never laughed once. But, I figured as long as I had already been watching it for a half hour, I'd give it another hour to be fair. I wasted another hour. I didn't find any of the characters to be relatable, or likable, or interesting, or funny---or of the caliber I'd expect for "SNL regulars" (although I have not watched SNL for many years). If you have an immature sense of humor, and haven't ever seen any GOOD comedy-adventure films, before, then you won't know the difference and maybe you'll be entertained...otherwise don't waste your time.

I love this group. Their always hilarious. I look forward to their skits on SNL every Saturday. While the premise has been done before. It didn't take away from the film. I especially love that Conan O' Brien was in the film. I mostly enjoy their positive, and kind attitudes. To be fair. I love anything that non serious. Even in the most serious moments. The humor is still there. I also love how used John Goodman for the voiceover. Perfect choice if you ask me. Bowen Yang being included just made it that much better! I hope these guys continue to stay friends, and create consistent funny content.

How many will remember the hawk? Yes, this is over the top at times, but in a zany way and not cruel. They really didn't hold back on anything. It did get a bit uneven at times, but humor can be that way. Not every joke or set up works perfectly. But it is a lot of fun to watch with likeable characters and funny stereotypes. I laughed when the priest said the money from the treasure would help pay their legal bills! It may be tailored to a younger demographic, but there is enough to satisfy most people. And yes, some nods to NBC shows if one listened carefully. But the bottom line is if you are a fifth grader doing a magic show, perhaps stay away from the flames.

It just doesnt ,are sense to stretch this from a short sketch into. Movie. It's not really that funny. It's mildly amusing.

OK...but would you just sit there and keep watching someone in a wheelchair trying to get pasta. Curb for an hour? No. Well, you wouldn't watch this for an hour either.
