October 19, 2009It's good to see Kate and Matthew back together. They are a divorced couple who wound up together to look for lost treasure before the baddies get hold of it. Matthew gets beaten up a lot. It reminds me of 'The Mexican' (hopeless male and exasperated female). Good cast. Average p...( read more)

September 30, 2009You might wonder why I watched this film after giving 'How to lose a guy in 10 days' such a bad review!? Well, I was on a plane and it was either this or listening to screaming children. This film is a bit better than listening to screaming children.

July 13, 2009Film léger, avec quelques moments d'humour. On se laisse emporter par la beauté des paysages, la vie sur la mer, l'océan, et la vie sous-marine. Par contre, l'histoire derričre la chasse au trésor est par trčs difficile ā suivre.

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) -

November 9, 2009Not too bad.. it seems someone wanted to make an "Indiana Jones Romantic Comedy" and came up with this. I prefer the movie "Six Days and Seven Nights" with Harrison Ford to aim towards the "Indiana Romantic Comedy" (because you have Ford it it at least).

November 5, 2009Helt okej film. Väldigt lättsam att titta på när man är trött. Men ingen höjdare! Ett plus dock för Matthew McConaughey's fantastiska kropp han bjuder på i denna!

November 4, 2009Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were paired up great together in this movie. It was a great movie.

November 1, 2009I cannot explain how bad this movie was. The only thing I would like to remember was the theater experience and telling my friends, "I told you so." The screenplay was driving me insane the whole movie, especially when it came to that Gema chick. The one part that I did enjoy was...( read more)

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
This movie feels very generic and very, very long; after it's over, you might need a little sunscreen for your brain. full review
February 8, 2008
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
So intricate, so convoluted and so full of various character names that it becomes impossible to follow. full review
February 8, 2008
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

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

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
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

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
In Fool's Gold Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, as golden as a pair of rotisserie chickens, squabble and cavort in a tropical paradise.
February 7, 2008
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

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
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...
