It was a very pleasant surprise, as I selected to watch it on a hard day's night. Both McConaughey and Hudson were excellent together, and Dziena was a perfect spoilt daughter next to Sutherland. This is a romantic story with lots of funny moments and lots of good action, yet near the margins of a fairy tale. But what I liked the most in the story and the characters was that even stupidity of some of them was surrounded by love and understanding, which made me feel like I was with them no matter their different "character". And on the other hand, the bad guys had a clumsy touch of a somewhat "bad joke" in their general presence. Nobody can be presumed evil in this movie; just as bad as a bad joke. Loved every minute of it. Certainly a must-see if you want to switch off, have fun and watch a romantic adventure.

Not to be confused with "Into the Blue", the adventure film starring Paul Walker and Jessica Alba, "Fool's Gold" is a comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson that also involves a submerged treasure. FG floats due to the likability of its two stars, who are very likable. Still, it's too long and it never generates any real heat, sexual or otherwise.

In the first 20 minutes a guy is executed, thrown in the water with chains, his last words are "tell my wife I love her", then against all odds he manages to rescue himself without anyone coming to his rescue. At the same time his wife is divorcing him and her smug lawyer says "she got everything you have because you were 60 seconds late for this meeting" when he rushes to come to their divorce meeting after just surviving his own execution. He sadly looks at his wife and says "Why?" and she says nothing, just leaves like a wet fart abandoning him... Then he runs after her, and that's when I stopped watching. This is a romantic comedy? It's absolute cancer. Pure horror, that boomers think this trash is romantic or a comedy. Maybe for the women watching it's romantic, but I'm a man, and on my side, it's a horror show. Absolute garbage.

One of the worst movies i have ever seen. Terrible plot and even worse acting. The whole movie was shockingly bad. Do not watch it. Save yourself time.

I read several reviews for this movie that weren't very good, so I had no desire to see it. It was on HBO recently and I decided to give it a shot. The movie is not as bad as I would have thought. It definitely has it's moments, but don't all movies. It was hard to get into the movie and really follow. It wasn't until the grave yard scene that I really started paying attention. The story really picked up from there, and I just had to find out if the treasure was really where they thought it would be. I saw the scene in the trailer where McConaughey's character says that he learned to fly from watching Playstation and the full scene in the movie is more comical and makes me laugh every time. It makes you wonder though if flying a plane in real life is anything like the video games. Even though the movie didn't start off quite that great, it still was worth it to see because you just can't deny the great on screen chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.

I was very disappointed with Fool's Gold. While I enjoyed seeing several of my favorite actors, I think the characters they portrayed were shallow, boring, and generally not funny. The character Gem was hard to take and didn't seem to fit into the context of the story at all. The plot didn't seem to bring anything new that I hadn't seen many times before and the storyline, at times, was just plain boring. I found myself wondering when it was going to be over. I found the editing awkward at times and certainly think that the movie could have been much shorter. Save yourself a dime and skip this one.

I LOVE this movie. I think its a very funny movie and very upbeat. Treasure hunters, divorce, spoiled kids and rich parents all the best and the fun mixed into one all trying to find the same goal: Find the Aurelia. I've seen this so many times and it is always such a fun movie to watch, taken place in the Caribbean a mystery to be solved and add the fun loving Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaoughy it makes it even better perfect cast for the best roles! If you like adventures and funny mysteries this is a movie for you. Tie in the bad guy/ famous guy the movie because instantly funny with the laid back no good for nothing husband/ex-husband Fin.

Okay, some felt that this movie wasn't living up to their expectations. However, as my first film of my marathon day, I found it delightful, and unexpectedly good. Matthew McConaughey, as Benjamin Finnegan, was this fun-loving, no-bars-hold, treasure hunter, whose character was funny, with a personality that just drew you to him. Kate Hudson, as Tess Finnegan, the tough and cute, take-no-crap kind of lady, equally enjoyable to watch. Donald Sutherland, a great character actor does a wonderful job as the rich tycoon looking for spur of the moment adventure. Alexis Dzenia, as the ditsy spoiled rich Gemma Honeycutt, looking cute and lovable, made me laugh. I would say overall this movie did exactly what it was suppose to do. It was an adventurous, fun, piece of escapism, that took my mind off my stresses, and made me laugh for awhile. But I wouldn't entirely say that it was just a romantic comedy, it was more.
