Fin is a carefree sort of guy who spends his time searching for ship wrecks and treasure, he is about to be divorced from Tess as they spent their whole marriage bickering and arguing and Tess wants more from her life. They are thrown back together when they finally get their divorce and Finn tells Tess about the plate he found when his own boat sank.

The couple had spent years trying to find an old sunken ship, which was full of gold and precious gems, but they didn't finish their quest and found the treasure. Finn is taken aboard the ship which Tess is working on and soon they are telling the owner Nigel Honeycutt and his spoilt daughter all about their work and what they were trying to find. Nigel and his daughter agree that a treasure hunt does sound very interesting so they decide to help Finn and Tess complete their hunt. The one problem which the team now face is the fact that others are searching for the treasure.

Will Finn and Tess be able to solve the mystery and get the gold before the others do and will their hate relationship turn to anything other?

I only really picked up this DVD as it had Matthew McConaughey in and the last few films I have seen him in he has been very good in this roles. For me this film was a slight disappointment as he really did not seem to fit the past very well. He looked good and what I would call a layabout but he did not seem to have any real personality which came across.

Kate Hudson took the role of Tess and I found her to be a much better character to warm to and I found her easier to understand and like. She did work well with the character of Finn and there seemed a genuine bit of history and chemistry between the pair, but more so from her role and not his. They bought some light hearted fun to the film with the banter and arguments over the divorce which did make for easier viewing. There were some good supporting actors and actresses in this film, but one which I did not like was that of Gemma Honeycutt, she just seemed to be their for the men to watch, because she gave no input to the storyline and just came across as so thick and spoilt. The role which I did really like were those of Nigel Honeycutt played by Donald Sutherland as he was quit amusing and I like how he tried to deal with his dumb daughter, Biggy Bunny who was played by story thrown in for a bit of depth, for me it could have been made so much better with a little bit more work and I think if some of the supporting actors were shown more it would
