Benjamin Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey), in search of a shipwreck with gold and other treasure, alienates his wife Tess (Kate Hudson), defaults on a loan from the local bad guy Big Bunny (Kevin Hart), and misplaces a boat.
Yet he finds a clue to the treasure and must placate Big Bunny, regain the appreciation of his wife, find a sugar daddy to finance his expedition, and beat a rival to the claim. The sugar daddy turns out to be Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). Nigel is on his quest to regain, if he ever had it, the affection of his flibbertigibbet daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena).
Who will find the treasure (if there is one)?
Will love or at least lust reappear for our forlorn treasure-hunting couple?
Will Daddy ever get the respect of this daughter?
Will we get bored watching this formula movie that tries too hard?
I watched the Blu-ray version, and even though it could not save the movie, they did a terrific job on the seascape and other visuals.
