thats a nice tan, Mr. McConaughey

Sahara

Official MovieGuy review
* * 1/2

So, much like Constantine, this one gets the official MovieGuy review of complete mediocrity: two and a half stars. And its not because its really bad. Its just not really good. I like Matthew McConaughey, and he's ok in this one, its just that his really bad tan seemed to take over a lot and it was all I could see whenever he was on screen. And there's something about Steve Zahn that bugs me. And, as i said to my wife, that Penelope Cruz sure is pretty, but what is really annoying about her is that you can hardly ever understand what she's saying. To which my wife replied, some guys like that. I find it hard to make an honest review of this movie because I watched it over the course of four nights, in really short installments (because I kept falling asleep) and I never did see how it ended. My wife filled me in and I said, thanks, but I dont think I'll watch the last twenty minutes. A good mate of mine said the Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt novels (which this movie is based on) are really good. I'll take his word for it. Until then, this movie gets the official MovieGuy review of mediocrity: "It was pretty ok."
