In the film three reunited friends, Dan (Green), Jerry (Lillard), and Tom (Shepard) go on a treasure hunt for D.B. Cooper's treasure as one last hurrah after the death of one of their good childhood friends. On their adventure they come across many obstacles including a bear who mistakes Dan as it's cub, rapid waters and a waterfall, crazy pot-growing fish-killing weapon wielding hillbillies, two friendly earth-loving hippies, a rainstorm, and a lone man with a gun who happened to know D.B. Cooper, and a crooked cop.
In the film each of the friends have their own problems:
Dan is a doctor with many phobias which he lets control his life and in result he lives his life in fear and can't get a date.
Jerry loves his job and surfing and his girlfriend, but he's bored of responsibility and he doesn't know if he's ready for a life of commitment.
Tom has too many problems, he lies and gambles and is really struggling although he doesn't let this be known until later on.
Throughout the film you see the friends fight due to their individual problems and about them and use them against each other, but towards the end they really do love each other and love messing with each other.
This journey they go on really solidifies their relationship but also has an impact on their personal lives. From where they were in the beginning of the film to the end, they've made significant changes in their lives.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. It was laugh out loud funny, but also very realistic in the way the relationships were portrayed. It had a sense of a throwback or flashback that was really moving, you could see how they grew up together and bonded and it strengthened the story.
