ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The movie isn't entirely successful as a romance or as an adventure, which makes the experience of watching it feel shallow and hollow, sort of like the stars and the plot.
58
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Tennant keeps his extravagantly stupid new comedy breezing along affably on the strength of photogenic locales, obscenely beautiful stars, a laid-back soundtrack, and a wholesale unwillingness to take itself the least bit seriously.
50
Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
A movie that keeps reminding you of its antecedents, all the way back to 1984 and the comic adventure “Romancing the Stone.”
40
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
A soggy, listless affair, this would-be fun-in-the-sun sunken-treasure frivolity starts taking on water from the get-go, thanks to drawn-out exposition and languid pacing.
40
Variety - Brian Lowry
A listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end.
