This movie all but fails in what it set out to do, and I wouldn't even recommend this for renting. Not much to see here. Real Score: 1.5 It's National Treasure at sea, except less exiting, less humorous, and more juvenile (Wow, that's pretty bad). Good elements. Ray Winstone is bad as always, along with the main villain, Bunny, and his white hired gun. First the bad elements.

With the exception of a few Kate Hudson (although I would've preferred another Sarah Jessica Parker outing) and the general rough jerk-persona of Matthew McConaughey, the acting is bad to pathetic. Amazingly, it could've been much worse, but not by much. Matt's sidekick doesn't add to anything either. There's plenty of better date movies out there, so just say "NO." to this movie, and move along. Well, Donald Sutherland's screen daughter does well as a stupid and ditsy Paris Hilton like character.

The story is unoriginal, and obviously little to no thought went into this treasure tale, so I won't dwell on the plot. And poor old Donald Sutherland gives possibly the WORST performance of the movie, and/or his career. The villains being the worst offenders, with not even that Cosby kid showing one bit of prose.

This on the other hand is a new low for all involved, which basically means it's barrel scraps. Sure, there are other redeemable elements, but they're few and far between. There is some good humor involved, again mostly coming from two minor gay guys, and a few of Hudson's comments.

Being from the director of "Hitch," you'd expect something a bit more quality, but this movie has more holes than Hugh Hefner's water bed. It's labeled as a romantic comedy, yet their were no real romantic moments, and the majority of the comedy comes from two minor gay cooks. I'll admit it, I got into "Failure To Launch" and gave it 4 stars.

The action is also mostly uninteresting.

If I had to sum it up, I'd call it National Treasure at sea. There was romance, of course, since the premise of the movie revolves around the hero and heroine and their failed marriage.

But most of the plot and action are not about that at all, and it focuses heavily on the search for the buried (sunken) treasure. The characters are an interesting mix that add to the story, and while the ending is a little predictable, getting there is all the fun.

To add to it, there's a lot of action (and violence) combined with comedy reminiscent of Bad Boys. I say throw out your preconceived notions based on the promos and give it a try (if you like the National Treasure/Bad Boy type movies, of course).

I very much enjoyed this movie even though I went into it with low expectations. Here I thought this was going to be a cheesy chick-flick romance, but that's not all I got.

People being flippant in serious situations and that sort of thing.

Who will find the treasure (if there really is one). The sugar daddy turns out to be Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). Nigel is on his own quest to regain if he ever had it the affection of his flibbertigibbet daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena). The Skeleton Key (Full Screen Edition)

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. Will love or at least lust reappear to our forlorn treasure hunting couple. Will we get board watching this formula movie that tries too hard.

Yet he finds a clue to the treasure and must placate Bigg Bunny, regain the appreciation of his wife, find a sugar daddy to finance his expedition and beat a rival to the claim. Benjamin Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) in search a ship wreck with gold and other treasure alienates his wife Tess (Kate Hudson,) defaults on a loan from the local bad guy Bigg Bunny (Kevin Hart) and misplaces a boat. Will daddy ever get the respect of this daughter.

The music fits and adds to the enjoyment. One of those movies you can watch a few times and still enjoy it. Maybe the movie isn't a 5 starer, but the fact that it's an easy / fun movie to watch puts it over the top. Sutherland, Hudson, and MM do a good job.

If you do make your boyfriend watch this pointless movie, you totally owe them a guys' night just to get it out of their heads. Girls, don't make your boyfriends watch this with you. If you really want to watch it, do so with your girlfriends, (along with The Notebook, just get them both out of your system) and then rent with your boyfriend to a decent flick, like, well, anything that's not this fluff without a heart to it.
