    Product Description
    A NEW CLUE TO THE WHEREABOUTS OF A LOST TREASURE REKINDLES A MARRIED COUPLE'S SENSE OF ADVENTURE -- AND THEIR ESTRANGED ROMANCE.

    Amazon.com
    The "gold" of the title refers to an elusive pirate's booty, but it just as easily could mean the sun-washed glistening shores of Florida, or the sumptuously tanned bodies of its appealing stars, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. The whole film is awash in golden highlights, and the scenery and cinematography make the experience akin to taking a tropical holiday. Hudson and McConaughey reprise the chemistry they first exhibited in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, sparking and tangling and kvetching, while all the while the audience knows, of course, they adore each other and are perfect for each other. McConaughey is a dreamer, on the trail of a sunken pirate's treasure, and Hudson his now-ex-wife, a historian who prefers life to be a little more sedate. McConaughey, as Finn, delivers impassioned speeches to Hudson, as Tess, saying, "You want history? It's in the ocean, lady!" Before you can say Romancing the Stone, Tess and Finn are grudgingly reunited in search of the booty. If the plot doesn't contain many surprises, the froth of the stars' chemistry is amiable and makes for a perfect date movie. Scuba divers may find McConaughey's antics below the surface to be wildly unbelievable and usually fatal, but in the end viewers will root for him to surface, and recapture the heart of his lady love. --A.T. Hurley

    4 out of 5 stars Light hearted, funny, romance comedy   July 5, 2009
    Be Hopeful (Florida)
    I am usually more of a suspense/mystery or drama/romance more than a comedy/romance because they tend to be thin, lacking romance or characters and what romance comedy usually means is trashy comedy with sex scenes. Matthew McC. tends to do the better "lighthearted" comedy romance that is actual comedy with actual characters and an actual plot - plot being an actual relationship. As always, this is the case once again, and once again it was funny, romantic, lighthearted, and just a really enjoyable "escape" movie. Never a let down. Yes, they are all the same in some ways - same actor, same type of comedy, same type of romance, etc. but it always works and I'll watch/buy it every time and never regret it. I hope they continue making these movies, they are the few comedy/romances I like.


    4 out of 5 stars Fun Movie   April 9, 2009

    Sometimes it is just fun to be able to watch a movie that is not "R" rated. It's a good movie for lighter moments.

    I went to see this because my husband wanted to because he loves treasure hunting movies. Well this is hardly a treasure hunting movie. It was just ridiculous. He thought it would be like National Treasure or something but it is just so dumb. The acting is horrid in this and I know that Matthew and Kate are better in other movies. The whole story line is dumb and predictable. All I could think about after we left the theatre was "WOW did I really just spend 25 dollars to see that garbage?"


    2 out of 5 stars dreadful romantic adventure film   March 30, 2009

    The appropriately titled "Fool's Gold" is a lame, thoroughly hopeless romantic comedy whose sole purpose for existence is to allow us to watch a couple of impossibly beautiful people (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) romping around in an impossibly beautiful setting (the Caribbean Sea).

    McConaughey, in another of his increasingly frivolous roles (there was a time when he seemed to have an ambition to be an actual actor), plays a down-on-his-luck treasure salvager who believes he's uncovered the whereabouts of a vast fortune - the Queen of Spain's dowry to be exact - that was lost in a shipwreck off the coast of Florida in the early 1700s. Hudson plays his longsuffering wife who fancies herself an intellectual and therefore has filed for divorce from a man who is all brawn and no brains and who is always off chasing rainbows when he should be at home with the woman he loves.

    To say that "Fool's Gold" lands on the screen with a resounding thud would be to minimize its awfulness. McConaughey and Hudson, both highly attractive performers under other circumstances, are here reduced to flailing around like mad and mugging for the camera just to cover up for the fact that there is not a single clever or witty line in a screenplay that takes a full one-hour-and-fifty-two minutes to play itself out - a screenplay, incidentally, in which every single black character is either a rap star, an armed-to-the-teeth cutthroat or both (the gays don`t fare much better, come to think of it, as they`re all portrayed as ninnies and cowards). In supporting roles, Donald Sutherland and Malcolm-Jamal Warner also wind up getting trapped in the wreckage.

    Unfortunately, for all those involved in "Fool`s Gold," the boats aren't the only things sinking in this film.
