The amazing actor and actress duo of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson strike back once again in this romantic, supposedly hilarious, comedy. However, it should be noted that while some parts may give you a bit of a laugh or a chuckle, it's not the funniest movie out there. In fact, this movie doesn't have much going for it except for the well known actors and actresses. Matthew McConaughey plays the young naive treasurer seeker Ben Finnegan better known as Finn. Finn, seems to run into quite a few problems such as a failing marriage, the l
oss of his boat, and some trouble with other fellow treasure seekers. While the plot of this movie sounds like it would be interesting, a seemingly comedy version of National Treasure. This I assure is not nearly as interesting as it sounds. While it does include some humor and the plot itself seems interesting enough; the storyline of this movie lacks in a few places along with some of the dialogue throughout the movie.
oss of his boat, and some trouble with other fellow treasure seekers. While the plot of this movie sounds like it would be interesting, a seemingly comedy version of National Treasure. This I assure is not nearly as interesting as it sounds. While it does include some humor and the plot itself seems interesting enough; the storyline of this movie lacks in a few places along with some of the dialogue throughout the movie. The basis of the movie is all about finding the sunken treasure of an 18th century French ship. The many problems Finn runs into, lead him and his now ex wife Tess (Kate Hudson) into a bit of a sticky situation, as they both end up on the same boat and now begin a search for the sunken treasure they began searching for some many years back. Seems like it could make a fairly good comedy doesn't it. Husband and wife divorce yet are stuck on the same boat, could make for some potentially dangerous yet hilarious situations. It does make for some funny situations. It has a bit of humor, a decent plot, and great acting. However, it is lacking in some aspects. The plot has a lot going for it, though, there are lots of confusing lines in the movie and the fast moving plot can confuse movie watchers, such as myself. One part in particular, when Finn is attempting to explain the sunken treasure the explanation is so detailed and short it's nearly impossible to follow what he is saying at all yet alone actually comprehend what is going on.
Overall, this movie was okay and just okay, not stupendous, or plain awful, but it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen. But if you want a slap on the knee comedy or a brave action filled treasure hunt, this is not the movie to see. However, if you are into mediocre puns and confusing plot lines this is the movie to see. That's probably not what majority of Americans or others want to see though. So my advice to you, save your money; save it for a much better movie. However, if you are really stuck on the idea of watching this movie save it till it comes out on DVD, it's not worth the $8 or $9 ticket price to see it in theaters.

This looks like a good movie and I love Matthew McConaughey. I was thinking you should give a grading system as well. Maybe a 1-10 scale. For example "I give this movie 8 marks out of 10"
