An enormous treasure of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds is at the bottom of the ocean, and the recently split-up couple Tess and Ben Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) think they know where it is. Doing research in a dark and cavernous room provides just the spice they need to hook up again. This is a quasi love story that takes snippets from National Treasure and the old Goldie Hawn movie, Overboard. Anyway, since the plot is basically the same as National Treasure regarding clues and finding lots of gold with the bad guys on your heels, my guess is that the producers and director figured they would sell he movie with Matthew MCConaughey running around most of the time barefooted, in shorts, and no shirt. Go figure. The movie has its bit of love-hate humor between the divorced couple who, of course, get back together in the end. It’s always good to have some villian chasing you when you are looking for a treasure as well. Watchable, but matinee fodder only. Better still, wait til you can get it from NetFlix or RedBox.
