A good movie for it's type. Similar to the movie 'Into the blue' but with better script. What I liked about this movie is the emotion that you get for history and love. A adventure film that focuses on trust and family. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are a good on screen couple and give clever performances that give you direct feelings.

Fool's Gold is an awful movie with a very poorly written storyline and a really mediocre cast. It had an ambitious storyline that sounded like it could have been a lot of fun, but it just left me very disappointed, it's story was promising and the film definitely looked beautiful, but this sadly isn't nearly enough to make up for everything else. The cast of the film either didn't seem to have any interest or had too much, Matthew McConaughey looked like he was having so much fun that he forgot he had to act, Kate Hudson looked like she couldn't wait to be finished work, everyone else just said their lines, the only performance that was noteworthy was Donald Sutherland, it's the type of movie that would mostly work when there's good chemistry between its ensemble cast, and that wasn't evident at all here. Another major problem with this movie is that it simply wasn't funny, it was more interested in being a comedy rather than an adventure, and they didn't deliver one bit, some of the lines could have worked out in some way if they had been delivered better, but for the most part the jokes are straight up lame, I didn't laugh once. Fool's Golds fails as a romance, a comedy and as an adventure, there is no heart there, no chemistry, it just dosen't work, and because of this I couldn't possibly recommend it. An estranged husband and wife reunite to search for a potentially massive haul of treasure. Best Performance: Donald Sutherland Worst Performance: Alexis Dziena

This is a pretty fun treasure flick starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson as an estranged couple who is trying to rekindle their marriage while they both go on a lost treasure hunt in the Bahamas.It's not a spectacular movie as it has its corny moments, some cheesy dialog and some plot points that dragged the film somewhat, but overall, it does have some fun adventures and exciting good guy vs. bad guy elements. It's a romantic comedy with touches of action and thrills mixed in; therefore, what you get is a pretty good combo of both genres - romance and adventure.McConaughey and Hudson had great chemistry and it was funny watching them, as a divorced couple, quarrel and getting frustrated with each other as they attempt to find this treasure.Again, the film is not a masterpiece, but a pretty fun film nonetheless.Grade B-

FOOL'S GOLDI like this movie. I had seen it before in the cinema and liked it just as much the second time around.The film stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. These 2 work so well together... they were really good in How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days and now they work really well in this too. It is kinda like the new generation of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere back in the Pretty Woman days.Kate Hudson reminds me so much of her Mum, Goldie Hawn. They are both great actresses and can both be funny. Matthew McConaughey is a good actor. He is great in comedies, but he can also do serious acting. I think the best film he has made is A Time To Kill.This film is funny, but it is not a laugh out loud comedy. There are some funny moments, but I do not remember actually laughing out loud... but this film is still really enjoyable. The story is good and there are some good characters in it.I preferred HTLAGITD... it is a better comedy and more funny... but this is still a good movie. If you like films that you don't have to think too much about and are fun to watch with a bit of action and adventure... then this is your film.I will give it 7 out of 10.I hope these 2 do more films together. It is a winning combination.For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204
