It looks like, that searching for gold, is most biggest dream of Hollywood screenwriters at last years... I don't mind, but... Can You watch all those movies? I guess not... Why? My experience in "treasure hunting" said: First movie interesting,... Full review

Fools Gold is exactly how you would expect it to be. We have all heard the story before in SAHARA and dare I say it, Into the Blue, although this movie is obviously a comedy/adventure. As for the story's strength and... Full review
Fools Gold is worth seeing if you want silly humour, romance with a bit of action on the side..

An utterly mindless action comedy. No real substance, but it's no crime to cinema, as some reviews seem to feel. It's full of pretty. Just don't bring your brain to the cinema with you.McConaughey and Hudson carry the whole thing.... Full review

The movie is well worth the price of admission for the vast majority. It was actually my second choice but I thought my wife would prefer it. My initial interest was Kate Hudson, but the trailer had peaked my curiosity. As... Full review

"Fools Gold" centers on an almost divorced, or newly divorced, or still madly-in-love couple (all 3 apply) searching for Spanish treasure that was sunk in a hurricane in 1715. Does the movie succeed as balmy escapism from the winter doldrums?... Full review

My expectations for this movie were very low going in, and I would say that the movie met them. I expected a fun, exotic, exciting adventure, which the movie delivered upon. It is a fairly predictable movie, but always fun to... Full review

Fool's Gold's biggest problem comes in the form of confusion. While employing two game lead actors, one notorious for making bad films sellable (that's you Matt!), neither Ms. Hudson or Mr. McConaughey could save this film that can't seem to... Full review

Unfortunately for me and anyone else who goes into this movie thinking the same, the problem is that the studio has highly mis-marketed this film, since it isn't really a "romantic comedy" at all (although it was released a week before Valentine's Day), but rather, an adventure film featuring an ex-couple going through the typical ...
