A shirtless Matthew McConaughey, a spunky Kate Hudson, the beauty of the Florida Keys, a big yacht and treasure…what’s not to like? Right? Well, wrong. This movie failed in more ways than I can wrap my head around. I kept thinking, “How many times can Matthew McConaughey play the same character?” And Ms. Hudson wasn’t as spunky and fresh as I wanted her to be, first of all she plays a PhD student…need I say more??? A PhD student who just happens to marry not only the shirtless, but job-less, money-less and nearly home-less McConaughey simply because he’s good in bed. Seriously? Does anyone really do that? I wonder what the movie executives were thinking. “Hey, these two made a bankable movie before. Let’s put them in another one. Only this time, the script will be hokey, and the storyline flat, unrealistic and dumbly confusing.” The movie is full of mindless and played out stereotypes. A party girl heiress who, get this, doesn’t have much in the way of brains. A couple dudes from Jamaica who say “man” a lot and get high. A rapper who has a big posse, an animal nickname, and lots of bling. I couldn’t find one redeeming quality in this movie, not even the great Donald Sutherland could pull this one out of the dumpsters. Sutherland plays the brain-dead heiress’s dad and is funding the McConaughey-Hudson treasure hunting mission. It’s one of those movies that’s only good if you’re watching it while doing other stuff and not 100% paying attention.

haha, I haven't seen this movie because it LOOKS horrible... thanks for confirming my suspicions before I waste my time and money!
Well, I was distracted by the shirtless Matthew McConaghay (sp), but finally gathered myself to read the rest. You confirmed what I already thought!
