Editorial Review:

Description:
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson go for the gold (and the diamonds, emeralds and rubies) as a just-divorced couple who bicker and banter their way through an adventure- and laugh-packed undersea treasure hunt. McConaughey is Finn, in love with his ex (Hudson) and in deep with gangster Bigg Bunny. After eight years of searching, Finn gets a clue to the whereabouts of the Queen’s Dowry, a fabulous fortune that mysteriously disappeared in the Caribbean in 1715. Now all he has to do is get the gold, get the girl and get going before Bigg Bunny gets him. Directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch), Fool’s Gold glitters with danger, action, romance, comedy, great one-liners – and a great time to be had by all!

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.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Sluggish Treasure Hunting Adventure Romance
I know "Fool's Gold" is supposed to be mindless fun. The treasure-seeking story doesn't have to be believable as long as the film is fun to watch. I liked Matthew McConaughey's "Sahara" for what it was: good, clean fun of watching our hero doing what he is expected to do. I'm sorry to say this, but for me "Fool's Gold" turned out a disappointing entry from Matthew McConaughey who deserves a much better film.

Matthew McConaughey is a treasure hunter Finn, who is rather single-mindedly pursuing his dream - a Spanish ship loaded with gold, which has been lost for 300 years off the coast of Florida. Kate Hudson is his wife Tess, now divorcing him as she wants a new life in college. The story is all too familiar, but not bad. However, Andy Tennant, usually a competent director (whose ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Funny
This is a cute movie but has some scenes that are too explicit for me. Matt and Kate are funny and romantic at the same time.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing.
I was very disappointed with this movie. Did not care for it at all. Tired old treasure hunt movie and the dialogue was very poor.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fool's Gold Synopsis
Fool's Gold (Widescreen Edition) This movie does what is was intended to do ENTERTAIN! Matthew McConaughey has charismatic charm that is appealing to the ladies and Kate Hudson has the seductive and witty magnetism much like her mother, although she is her own person. Brilliant pair!

Wonderfully, energetic, comical and the story line address how humans interact as the opposite sex share a battle of the wits. I so look forward to another entertaining romance comedy by Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in the near future.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OK - Nothing Special
This movie was good - but nothing exceptional - disappointed with movie - the first by these stars I thought was great and this was below my expectations. Would watch once - but personally would not advise to buy it - just borrow or rent.
