Description
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson go for the gold (and the diamonds, emeralds and rubies) as a just-divorced couple who bicker and banter their way through an adventure- and laugh-packed undersea treasure hunt. McConaughey is Finn, in love with his ex (Hudson) and in deep with gangster Bigg Bunny. After eight years of searching, Finn gets a clue to the whereabouts of the Queen?s Dowry, a fabulous fortune that mysteriously disappeared in the Caribbean in 1715. Now all he has to do is get the gold, get the girl and get going before Bigg Bunny gets him. Directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch), Fool?s Gold glitters with danger, action, romance, comedy, great one-liners ? and a great time to be had by all!

The "gold" of the title refers to an elusive pirate's booty, but it just as easily could mean the sun-washed glistening shores of Florida, or the sumptuously tanned bodies of its appealing stars, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. The whole film is awash in golden highlights, and the scenery and cinematography make the experience akin to taking a tropical holiday. Hudson and McConaughey reprise the chemistry they first exhibited in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, sparking and tangling and kvetching, while all the while the audience knows, of course, they adore each other and are perfect for each other. McConaughey is a dreamer, on the trail of a sunken pirate's treasure, and Hudson his now-ex-wife, a historian who prefers life to be a little more sedate. McConaughey, as Finn, delivers impassioned speeches to Hudson, as Tess, saying, "You want history? It's in the ocean, lady!" Before you can say Romancing the Stone, Tess and Finn are grudgingly reunited in search of the booty. If the plot doesn't contain many surprises, the froth of the stars' chemistry is amiable and makes for a perfect date movie. Scuba divers may find McConaughey's antics below the surface to be wildly unbelievable and usually fatal, but in the end viewers will root for him to surface, and recapture the heart of his lady love. --A.T.

I bought this movie as a gift for someone. I have never even watched it.
Great Entertainment December 13, 2008
This is one of those movies that won't be a hit with the critics, but then again, it was never meant to be. Instead, it is non-stop, light-hearted entertainment with delightful stars and a great way to spend a couple of hours.
Fooled me December 8, 2008
There are better uses of your time. This movie is an excuse to put two pretty people in bathing suits. The main characters chemistry isn't enough to hold this story together.
Rating: Maybe rent it or buy it used
not a great story to this one December 7, 2008
Kate Hudson is always fun to watch but the story line didn't give her much to work with. Same goes for Matthew McConaughey. Maybe the expectation was too high after seeing them together in How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, but I think not. This was just a pathetic story line.
If you can rent it for a buck, or if you're a huge fan of the cast members, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, save your dollar.
