I feel that the other reviewers here have taken this movie too seriously. Treasure State is a hilarious B movie - made by families for families. The filmmakers have purposefully made this movie cheesy for humor's sake - something that the other reviewers never seemed to notice. The opening credits outright tell you this: calling it an "Andrew Wiest flick." (in filmmaking terminology, "flick" means "B movie")
This movie is chock-full of jokes and is ensured to leave you smiling! The amateur effects and numerous cliches - which some have criticized this movie for - are done, once again, on purpose to humor the audience. The characters are realistic and are acted out quite well for a low-budget film. The only important flaw that I can think of is that the film does a little padding to exceed 80 minutes. Despite this, this movie is a great comedy and I look eagerly forward to seeing other movies made by these people. Watch it; you'll like it!
