  Great mindless entertainment

  by akbassett40

  My wife and I enjoyed this romantic comedy from beginning to end. Our idea of entertainment when deciding what to see was something light and mindless, and this was a perfect movie for that expectation. If looking for a riveting, oscar-worthy flick, I would not recommend this movie, but for those seeking a brief reprieve from reality this is a great film.

  Great on a date!

  by derf79

  Just came back from watching it at the theaters. The only downside to the entire experience was the ten dollars for a coke and a popcorn.
  Pros:
  -The movie was fun and entertaining. Matt and Kate remind me of the chemistry between her mother and Kurt Russell back in the Eighties/Nineties.
  -There were many laughs and moments of actual suspense, so it did provide the roller coaster of emotions that every good movie should have.
  -The scenery was breathtaking.
  
  Cons:
  -I wasn't too fond of the BiggBunny character (think Kanye West gone bad) as it could've been played by a more convincing bad guy. Why would a rapper turned multi-millionaire who owns his own island and rum distillery care about some treasure worth a third of his own wealth?
  -The annoying daughter of the millionaire was plenty nice to look at but not someone you see as a hero towards the end of the film. I found myself not liking her character enough to take her seriously.

  Fool's Gold is foolishly amusing, but totally golden

  by yoplaitbaby

  Its a feel good movie, without a dummy plot, so it keeps you on your toes while you laugh at the antics of the characters. I would recommend going to see, even if you just need a lift after a long day. Pretty people, stupid humor, buried treasure, and pretty beaches make for a lovely movie that you'll very much enjoy watching.

  Fools Gold

  by tklp_777

  I really enjoyed this movie it was far better than i thought that it would be...it was cute and funny. The "how to lose a guy in 10 guys" continue to flow at the right pace with each other making the movie so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this movie for couples especially....teens..For those who enjoy seeing Mr Matthew M's stomach haha ^_^ those who like a little heart felt laugh. The story flow went really well, the acting was very very good. Srry that i dont have much more to say about this movie but it really is good and you should go see it its worth every penny! ENJOY!

  Better than I expected

  by nick2192

  My Wife wanted to see this one. After seeing the trailer I wasnt that excited to see it. I was very suprised. It was great! Perfect blend of comedy, adventure and love. I reccomend this movie for any guy who wants to take his girl to a "Chick Flick" but cant stand those types of movies. This is much more than your average chick flick. I was entertained throughout the movie and even held off going to the bathroom just so I didnt miss anything.

  Fool's Gool

  by limey3706

  I like these 2 actors together, they were great in "How to lose a guy in 10 days" but this movie was quite cheesy in places. Some parts were funny and then other parts were just silly, I enjoyed the movie but I would not recommend it has a great movie just an ok movie.

  Really bad

  by marthamoviewatcher

  The only reason it doesn't get an "oh no" is because it is filmed in a beautiful location. The story is far fetched. The comedy is slapstick. The movie is predictable. The dumb debutante was added for laughs, but she was just way too annoying to be funny. There was a gay couple who added nothing to the plot. Even though it was a comedy, the bad guy - Big Bunny - killed some people. The story was about a search for lost treasure and it brings the characters of Hudson and McConaughey together because they were the only ones smart enough to figure out where it was hidden. It was just not a good movie.

  Fool's Gold

  by kestrel1029

  This is a fun and entertaining movie. The critics did not give this a good write up. But my wife and I liked it quite a bit. It definitely is worth a view. I think the critics don't know how to have fun.

  Not so great

  by jmk22574

  I love these two actors (especially when they're in a movie together), but this movie left my husband and I a bit bored. It moved rather slowly, and there just seemed to be very little purpose. I won't say it's the worst way to spend an afternoon, but I expected a lot more.

  A fun movie!

  by redrcp

  This movie has it's truly unbelievable parts, but all in all, it was a very fun movie. It has adventure and romance and many funny parts. This movie isn't going to win an oscar, nor will anyone win an award, but it was a nice way to pass the time. Kate Hudson is adorable in her roll. Go see it if you want an easy to watch, fun movie.

  Your uselessness is epic!

  by redyeah

  Oh Kate, how right you are. Everyone in this movie is useless. It was so horrible. Ashamed, I actually like Kate. Matthew could die in a fire for all I care. The man can't act for crap. terrible, contrived plot. Not funny. Not heart warming. Just epic. Epicly useless.

  Just pure fun

  by carriewolfe

  When I first went to buy the tickets on Fandango the comments on the movie were not good, so I hesitated on seeing the movie, but decided how bad could it be. After seeing it I was glad that I didn't pay attention to the critics because I thought the movie was very funny and cute, it is what it is just pure fun and if you were looking for something deep and meaningful go see something else.

  Wait for DVD .......

  by Rick G.

  The movie was just ok. The acting was fun and the character interaction was well done but, there was the Hollyweird mandatory gay couple that had no real story or plot reason to be so. Also, there was the gratuitous boob flash by a passing actress that, along with some mild language issues, made the movie a PG-13 instead of PG. I suggest that parents not take their young children but, hey, it is PG-13. Some of the camera work underwater was really nice and the film location was pretty to look at. The cast was fun to spend time with but, it would be better done at home.
