Trivia

The box jellyfish is only located on the northern coast of Australia. So the infestation of them could have only been there where they were actually filming. And the mountain range back ground doesn't exist in the Caribbean. So in fact it was filmed in Australia. See more »

Goofs

When Gemma Honeycutt is leaving the Precious Gem on the runabout to go shopping in Key west, Nigel Honeycutt tells her not to be long. To which she replies that she is supposed to meet friends in Key Biscayne for dinner and may be gone a while. Key Biscayne is a village of Miami and lies 165 miles from Key West. This is unlikely because it would take 7 to 8 hours round trip to travel that distance in the runabout and she just flew in from Miami on the helicopter. See more »

entertaining
16 April 2012 | by mattkratzSee all my reviews

This movie was exciting, entertaining, and a good blend of romance, adventure, drama, and entertainment. Matthew McConaghey and Kate Hudson are a newly divorced couple who learn that a treasure they've been after is off the coast of Key West (thanks to Mr. Mac), and they take a cruise ship to go get it. My favorite scenes are the divorce scene, the diving scenes, and the scenes with the rich, air-headed rich girl. McConaghey is heavily in debt to a murderous rap star, which is why he is after the treasure. After a slow start, this really picks up and turns into a decent movie with gorgeous settings and lovely underwater photography and good cast chemistry. I loved it.

*** out of ****
