Fool's Gold
Treasure hunter Ben "Finn" Finnegan has sunk his marriage to Tess and his trusty boat in his obsessive quest to find the legendary Queen's Dowry. When he finds a vital clue that may finally pinpoint the treasure's whereabouts, he drags Tess and her boss, billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, along on the hunt. But Finn is not the only one interested in the gold; his former mentor-turned-enemy Moe Fitch, hired by rapper-turned-gangster Bigg Bunny, will stop at nothing to beat him to it.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
Absolutely brilliant
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Fool's Gold is an excellent family comedy. Matthew McConaughey is just wonderful. His positive and effulgence does not allow him to take his eyes off the whole film. Excellent director's work completely immerses you in the atmosphere of marine adventure. Expensive boat, ocean, the sun is all that is needed for a great movie. What is especially important to me is not a single second of the film there is a feeling that the actors play their roles they live with these emotions. I advise everyone to watch this film, this is one of my favorite movies.
While "Fool's Gold" is predictable to the point where even a blind can see what's coming, it still proves to be quite entertaining. It is the type of movie that you can't help to enjoy, sort of like a brushed up take on a movie such as "Romancing the Stone".There is a good flow to the story and it worked out quite nicely. The movie picks up speed right from the very start and keep on sprinting in that high speed to the very end. And while on the topic of the story, then it is only fair to say that the storyline is fun, good and fast paced.The movie was also quite nicely cast, and there is a great chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. But Donald Sutherland also did add a great, unique touch to the movie, just a shame that he didn't have more time on the screen than he did."Fool's Gold" is the type of movie that you can watch more than just once, despite being so predictable.
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
I can not imagine anyone not liking this movie. There is a lot of funny humor and most enjoyable there is actually a serious plot to the story. What is pleasing to me, the movie actually made me laugh and not just one time. If you want to just set back and enjoy a fun time and eat your snack and watch a movie with your spouse, partner or significant other, this is a very good movie to watch. All of the actors seem to be made for their parts. The interaction between McConaughey and Hudson are great together. To me all the fun scenes, and there are more than a few, come off well within the norm for Hollywood humor. I do not like slap-stick, this movie is funny without being Jerry Lewis silly.
