June 11, 2009Quite possibly one of the most boring movies I've ever attempted to watch.
I'm not sure who thought this movie was a good idea, but it seems to be just a bunch of random beauty shots of Key West intertwined with scenes of people sitting around and talking on boats....
No plot..... ...( read more ) -
March 25, 2009obviously this had no shot at being a great movie, but i was pleasantly suprised at how "not horrible" it was. it was a prototypical treasure hunting movie with no real profundity, but it was what it was in a really fun way. i actually escaped a bit and just enjoyed watching th... ...( read more )

January 3, 2009Pretty cheesy...it had its funny parts, but it wasn't as great as I thought it could've been.

July 5, 2009I don't know what it is, but McConaughey and Hudson have a great on-screen chemistry and can make any pile of crap worth sitting through. Nothing new here, but why even try?

This movie feels very generic and very, very long; after it's over, you might need a little sunscreen for your brain. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
So intricate, so convoluted and so full of various character names that it becomes impossible to follow. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
There are several dazzlingly pretty but profoundly dumb characters in Fool's Gold, characteristics they share with the film itself. full review

A semi-adventure and even less of a romantic comedy, only pretends to whip up excitement. full review

You might even forget you're watching a movie and think you're having flashbacks to Us Weekly. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
It's so riddled with complications and exposition (a queen's dowry, hurricanes, libraries in Spain) you wish the audience had just been handed an appendix and footnotes that covered the boring parts. full review

In Fool's Gold Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, as golden as a pair of rotisserie chickens, squabble and cavort in a tropical paradise.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's early in the year, but I defy any 2008 comedy to be as stupid, slack and sexless as Fool's Gold. And I'm counting Paris Hilton's appalling The Hottie and the Nottie, which is marginally better. full review

A trifling slice of winter season counter-programming. full review

September 5, 2008Felt like this movie was 3hrs long. No break from the constant EPIC sounding movie music soundtrack was very tiring, storyline was ok, Inspires me to book a tropical vacation & go swimming, other than that... so/so. Over-hyped. ;-)

July 13, 2008Well I thought the beggining was extremely boring, the daughter of the rich dude was VERY annoying and the last 30mins were very good...I did have some laughs but I thought I could've been better...they r a gr8 couple, I think the story line should've been more interesting...
