Ben "Finn" Finnegan is an affable, modern-day treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry--40 chests of priceless treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess. Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Much to Tess' consternation, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his roguish charm, convinces the tycoon and his celebutante daughter, Gemma, to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish riches. Even Tess can't resist the lure of finally uncovering the treasure that had eluded them for so long. But they are not the only ones after the prize. Finn's one-time mentor, Moe Fitch, and a ruthless local gangster named Bigg Bunny are intent on beating Finn to the trove. Let the treasure hunt begin. (Warner Bros.)

Better than I expected. Funny, though it could have been better.

This movie sucked -- I hated it! I was hoping for the same chemistry that sizzled between MM & KH as in How to Lose a Guy, but was totally disappointed to find that their sizzled just simply fizzeled on my flat screen!
Jeremiah C gave it a6:
What is wrong with critics these days, they're so damn nit picky. Anyways this movie wasn't great and it was a little cheezy in some parts. However, the acting was great, the storyline was good, I think that this film was worth the $7 movie ticket and don't let the critics tell you otherwise. Let me name off 2 great movies that have been shot down by the critics, Kinky boots and the bucket list these were both really good films but the critics just shoot them down with their negative attitudes, They just need to lighten up. And I hope some of them see this comment

I dont know why the people gave this movie a 0 it was great funny and romantic if u like 50 first dates you will love this.
Jay H. gave it a6:
Harmless romantic comedy, predictable as well as entertaining. Hudson comes off best. It should have been much better, but cute and it has some funny scenes. It has adventure, romance, some action and comedy. You can't go too terribly wrong with that.
Steve O gave it a0:
whoever actually liked this movie belongs in a mental institution.
