I love this movie. First , it has some great actors Winstone, Sutherland, Kate . Second : the scenery is what I want for a vacation. Thirdly : the camera crew , hats off . Fourth : the script might be thin , but hey Bond movies are thinner and full of non logic and overblown scenes. Do I like movies from Pasolini, Kurosawa, Kitano etc ...yes I do. Do I like a good action packed movie or SF , yes I do . But recently Hollywood is failing in most departments and have to squeeze out Alien-craps,Transformer craps and most blockbusters are not worthy a view. In that retrospect this little movie was enjoyable.

Fool's Gold is a great movie to watch with the family on a rainy afternoon. It is full of sunshine, beautiful scenery and fun action without gratuitous profanity or violence. Yes, there IS violence insofar that there are some fights and shooting between the good guys (and girls) and the bad guys but then what would you expect in an action movie?I particularly enjoyed Donald Sutherland's upper crust English accent - I say, what an awfully super chap he was don't ya think! As for his bimbo daughter, well she came right in the end too and, I noted in the closing scene, ended up with the East European jerk! I did notice that, in a scene supposedly shot in Key West, there was one shot of a junction between Water Street and Water Avenue. Neither street exists in Key West! But then it WAS all a story wasn't it?Altogether a great romp worth, in my opinion, more than its score on IMDb. Next rainy Sunday afternoon when I've got nothing to do, I'll watch Fool's Gold again and probably enjoy it just as much again!

I am somebody who liked a romantic comedy from time to time. Just like any other genre it has a few great movies in it. And this one also included adventure, so I thought it will be a great movie then. Unfortunately I was wrong.The movie is incredibly bad. It is boring, predictable, with bad acting and cliché characters.We have Tess, the usual woman who has a stick up her ass and doesn't enjoy fun and wants her husband to "grow up". There is Finn, the hot immature guy. The dumb girl who likes to shop. And they are all portrayed with horrible acting that makes it even harder to like them. I keep on seeing Matthew McConaughey always play this guy and always do it horribly, I have no idea why he keeps on getting these roles.The only good thing about the movie is the scenery. Sitting in cold Canada waiting for winter to end I enjoyed watching the sunny Caribbean.

FOOL'S GOLDI like this movie. I had seen it before in the cinema and liked it just as much the second time around.The film stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. These 2 work so well together... they were really good in How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days and now they work really well in this too. It is kinda like the new generation of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere back in the Pretty Woman days.Kate Hudson reminds me so much of her Mum, Goldie Hawn. They are both great actresses and can both be funny. Matthew McConaughey is a good actor. He is great in comedies, but he can also do serious acting. I think the best film he has made is A Time To Kill.This film is funny, but it is not a laugh out loud comedy. There are some funny moments, but I do not remember actually laughing out loud... but this film is still really enjoyable. The story is good and there are some good characters in it.I preferred HTLAGITD... it is a better comedy and more funny... but this is still a good movie. If you like films that you don't have to think too much about and are fun to watch with a bit of action and adventure... then this is your film.I will give it 7 out of 10.I hope these 2 do more films together. It is a winning combination.For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204
