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.

Fool's Gold is a great movie to watch with the family on a rainy afternoon. It is full of sunshine, beautiful scenery and fun action without gratuitous profanity or violence. Yes, there IS violence insofar that there are some fights and shooting between the good guys (and girls) and the bad guys but then what would you expect in an action movie?I particularly enjoyed Donald Sutherland's upper crust English accent - I say, what an awfully super chap he was don't ya think! As for his bimbo daughter, well she came right in the end too and, I noted in the closing scene, ended up with the East European jerk! I did notice that, in a scene supposedly shot in Key West, there was one shot of a junction between Water Street and Water Avenue. Neither street exists in Key West! But then it WAS all a story wasn't it?Altogether a great romp worth, in my opinion, more than its score on IMDb. Next rainy Sunday afternoon when I've got nothing to do, I'll watch Fool's Gold again and probably enjoy it just as much again!

Fool's Gold is the second film that teams up Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson after appearing together in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.In this romantic comedy,the find together playing a divorced couple who rekindle their marriage while searching for a lost treasure.Donald Sutherland and Alexis Dziena co-star.Andy Tennant directs.Well,there is nothing really to say about this movie as it fails on every level.The characters are developed that we simply don't care about them particularly Benjamin and Tess.The audience probably do not care whether they get back together or not.Also,we don't care as well whether they find the treasure or not.We know what's going to happen in the end as it was predictable from beginning to end.Definitely,one may find it too long.What's worse,there isn't any funny moment in it as the gags were practically humorless.Finally,there is nothing really good going for the film except the charm and appeal of McConaughey and Hudson.If you find their first film together bad,you'll probably find this worse.

Bickering divorced treasure-hunting couple Finn (Matthew McConaughey) and Tess (Kate Hudson) continue pursuing their previously abandoned attempt to find sunken treasure with the help of millionaire Nigel Hunnicutt (Donald Sutherland) and his idiot daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena), despite the fact that Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) and Bigg Bunny (Kevin Hart) have their own thoughts on the matter.The comedy here isn't that funny (although I did find airhead Gemma amusing), and the bickering between Finn and Tess wears out its welcome quickly. And Donald Sutherland's English accent convinces as much as Ray Winstone's American one ie. not at all.But the story is OK, the scenery is attractive, there is minimal swearing - in short, this is an adequate if undemanding way to spend a couple of hours.
