Ben (Mathew McConaughey) and Tess (Kate Hudson) just got a divorce. But the day before the divorce was finalized, Ben found a clue to a treasure they had been searching for for 8 years. Sadly, he also manages to sink his boat and that’s how he found the clue, when the boat hit the bottom of the ocean. Ben tries to tell Tess, but she figures that he is lying until she visits a web page with the clue that Ben found being right there.

So without a boat or money, Ben and Tess (separately) have an idea to go to Tess’ boss Nigel (Donald Sutherland), who is a billionaire with nothing better to do with his time or money. He agrees and gets his bored daughter Gemma to join in on the fun. On their hunt for the treasure, the Queen’s Dowry, they run into many obstacles, old friends, and new enemies. Is the hunt worth it? You’ll have to watch that for yourself.

First, I’m glad to see Kate and Mathew back together again! The chemistry that these two have is so wonderful to see that it almost makes me hope that they do eventually get together in their movies. Personally, I think they would make such a wonderful match off screen as well…but that’s not up to me. As far as the movie goes, it is funny, beautiful, and makes me want to go treasure hunting. I even enjoyed seeing Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played “Theo” on “The Cosby Show”…haven’t seen him in a while on screen.

The only thing I didn’t like about the movie would be the accents. Maybe it’s because they seemed fake to me, or maybe it’s because I know that Donald doesn’t have an English accent and Malcolm doesn’t have a Jamaican one. All I know, is that they could have been better.

All in all, it was a delightful movie and I look forward to seeing it again!
