Four childhood friends, who once shared a tree house and the secrets of youth, are reunited as they all approach age thirty, and one of them is killed in a mountaineering accident. Only Billy (Antony Starr) had lived out his fantasies. Dan, Tom and Jerry are living lives where the new phrase "my bad" ("I’m sorry") is said frequently. At Billy’s funeral the three decide to fulfill a childhood dream. They take off for the Northwest Territory, with a treasure map in hand, to find the money lost many years ago by a thief who parachuted into the wilderness and neither he nor the money was ever found.

Dan (Seth Green) was the kid who had to be pushed to do things, while the others would jump into a lake without regard for how deep or how shallow it might be. Now a doctor, Dan’s such a nerd that he still can’t jump into the dating pool, even when a woman he’s hot for does everything to get his attention; he remains too paralyzed to make the smallest move. Tom (Dax Shepard) is just the opposite when it comes to women. For him one woman at a time is limiting. Jerry (Matthew Lillard) is Mr. "I can’t get emotionally involved" in anything, whether it’s his job or his girlfriend Denise (Bonnie Somerville).

As the city-dwellers embark on their journey to find the treasure, this comedy takes a bit out of the film "Deliverance," as they run into backwoods pot farmers. The gun-toting growers set out to track the trio down and shoot them when they discover the pot fields. In making their way toward the treasure, each of the guys progresses in resolving life long hang-ups.

There’s the element of a chase movie as the inept Dan, Tom and Jerry hunt for the treasure and escape from the overgrown pot growers. The three face an unwelcoming Sheriff Briggs (Ray Baker) and spend time with two lovely but ditzy tree huggers, who are committed to the cause of saving some part of the forest by living in a giant old tree. The cameo performance of Burt Reynolds as a reclusive woodsman lifts the film beyond the crude humor of movies such as "American Pie" and "Old School."

Yes, the movie is lame and full of some very tired clichés, like outrunning bears or what type of luck you have, yet it manages to be funny in parts. It’s silly but not stupid, even while folks do stupid things. If you are in the mood for a comedy that does not try to be sophisticated, see this in the theater. If you don’t see it now, this one is a must see on video, in your home where no one can see you laugh at the crass parts.
