Consensus: With little chemistry among the performers, humorless gags, and a predictable storyline, Fool's Gold fails on every level.
Theatrical Release:18-04-2008
Synopsis: Having proven themselves a magnetic pair in 2003's HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey team up once again as two fun-loving, bickering exes in this action-packed,... [More]
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Donald Sutherland, Ewen Bremner
Director: Andy Tennant
Matthew McConaughey, whose continuing Hollywood career deserves a separate chapter in any future book by Richard Dawkins on the non-existence of God, is reunited for this romcom caper with Kate Hudson, herself uncompromisingly abysmal in everything.
Top CriticA ghastly romantic comedy about a race to find a 17th-century Spanish wreck full of treasure. The film is completely dead behind the eyes.
Top CriticNo amount of gratuitous McConaughey ab-flashing (he never stops) or the parading of Kate Hudson in a weeny bikini can scrape this one off the sea bed. Plankton would be insulted.
Top CriticLike Tess and Finn, the makers of Fool's Gold are motivated by lucre, not love.
Top CriticI succumbed to the very occasional charms of this fair, good-natured romcom adventure and left the screening in quite a good mood.
Top CriticAbsolute tosh. A ridiculous, unerringly tedious plot is weighed down by listless performances from a cast who clearly wished they were somewhere else, despite the sumptuous locations.
Top CriticAnything can happen -- anything except anything remotely entertaining.
Top CriticIt's a mindless Funjet excursion that doesn't take as long, cost as much or leave you as sunburned.
Top CriticIn Fool’s Gold Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, as golden as a pair of rotisserie chickens, squabble and cavort in a tropical paradise.
Top CriticFool's Gold offers small compensation -- a listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end.
Top CriticCould have been called How to Lose an Audience in 10 Minutes.
