The movie is well worth the price of admission for the vast majority. It was actually my second choice but I thought my wife would prefer it. My initial interest was Kate Hudson, but the trailer had peaked my curiosity. As it turned out, I really liked the movie. The comedy of errors that start the story set the tone of the movie as a relatively mild intensity adventure. It doesn't pretend to be more than that. It will not compete with Indiana Jones for awards, but you don't get to see an Indiana Jones adventure every weekend.
The result is that it's funny, interesting, and not especially predictable. Movie-snobs should not attend. This movie is for people wanting 90 minutes (113 actually) of light hearted entertainment. It is listed for the categories of adventure, comedy, romance, and thriller. That's exactly what it is. Go. Have a good time.
