It Was So... Boring!

Oh, boy… Where do I start? I heard that this was a terrible film but I decided to see it anyway because I ran out of movies to see at the time and I wanted to give it a chance. I never liked Matthew McConaughey because I don’t think he can act. But I do like Kate Hudson from time to time. I also like the treasure hunting storyline because I pretended to find treasures when I was a kid. But this picture was so badly written, acted, and directed–not to mention boring from beginning up until they find the treasure. Things got a little interesting when they finally found what they were all looking for but that fifteen-minute segment, unfortunately, does not save this movie’s egregiousness. Every cliche that one can find in a romantic comedy can be found here, not to mention that the so-called love between McConaughey and Hudson was cruel if not way cheesy. I couldn’t come up with a reason why these two characters would be attracted to one another because they were both a mess. Or maybe that’s why they deserve each other. I did like the underwater scenes because I love the ocean, but the movie is a complete let-down despite very low expectations.
