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 Finnegan. 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 treasure. But, they are not the only ones after the prize. Finn's one-time mentor, Moe Fitch and a ruthless local gangster are intent on beating Finn to the prize.

    Poor enough film with the odd humorous moment.

    A good comedy but nothing special, a good way to kill some time.

    mart

    A lazily-scripted, clumsily-directed mess that evokes sympathy for Hudson, and equal amounts of jealously and incomprehensibility for McConaughey. A career intervention is needed for both stars.

    Theres not a lot of good to say about this film. If you like semi naked bodies then perhaps you'll like it, but a copy of playboy is cheaper!
