Treasure
hunters Benjamin Finnegan (Matthew
McConaughey) and his ex-wife, Tess
Finnegan (Kate Hudson), are looking
for the Queen’s Dowry treasure.
The problem is that Bigg Bunny (Kevin
Hart), an ex-rapper, is after Benjamin
because he needs to pay back the money
that Bigg gave him to search for the
treasure.
Benjamin tries to convince Bigg that
he knows where the treasure is, and
he needs more money for supplies.
Now Bigg knows where the treasure
is and decides to kill Benjamin. Bigg's
men mess up, and he comically gets
away.
Meanwhile, Tess has been working for
millionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald
Sutherland). They convince him and
his daughter to provide the equipment
for the hunt. It becomes a race to
find the treasure first now that Bigg
has an idea of where the treasure
is.
This had to be one of the worst films
of the year. It has three great actors,
but the story is way too predictable.
It was all formula.
I think Warner Bros. Productions was
just trying to cash in on McConaughey
and Hudson's previous success in “How
to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”
There are some funny parts, and it
gets interesting toward the end when
the action adventure part picks up.
There’s no recommendation to
anyone to see this film, but, if you
must watch, it’s tolerable.
