I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

best movie i've ever seen.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I didn't expect to see something unbelievable when i started watching this movie. It was already clear from the plot summary that the film is kinda light and relaxing. So i just sit back on a sofa, turned it on and eased off. And it worked! The movie was just simply funny. Sometimes that's all you need to have a good time. Besides i would say that Matthew Mcconaughey played spectacular like he always does. Yeah, the plot and actions of characters are very naive that's for sure, but look at the bright side - you got stunning landscapes, cool cast and a cheery mood. That's not bad after all. So i would recommend watching it, especially if you had a tiresome day or you are on a date. In first case the film will restore your mood and energy, in second - sustain a pleasing atmosphere and add fun

Like "Underwater" from the fifties and "The Deep" from the seventies, "Fool's Gold" is a film about diving for lost treasure in the Caribbean. At least, it's supposed to be the Caribbean, although most of the shooting actually took place (for climatic rather than financial reasons) in Australia. One detail apparently borrowed from "The Deep" is that the heroes are searching for the "dowry" of King Philip V of Spain, supposedly lost off the Bahamas in 1715. (Actually, a "dowry" is a payment made by the bride's family to the groom, not vice versa).The film also combines elements of a genre which was popular in the thirties and forties and which has occasionally been revived in recent years, the "comedy of remarriage". The main characters are Benjamin "Finn" Finnegan, a professional treasure hunter, and his ex-wife, Tess. The two are thrown together by chance during Finn's search for the wrecked Spanish galleon "Aurelia"; Tess is working as a steward on a yacht owned by Finn's millionaire patron Nigel Honeycutt. And, of course, they find their love for one another being rekindled in the course of the action. This being a thriller as well as a romance, there have to be other people in search of the treasure, and these include a local gangster named Bigg Bunny. (Not, I would have thought, the most frightening alias that a ruthless villain could have chosen). Another detail borrowed from "The Deep" is that the heroes are all white whereas the villains are mostly black. When I re-watched "The Deep" recently I assumed that this sort of thing was just an example of 1970s political incorrectness, but it seems that you can still get away with it in the 21st century.The critics' comments ranged from "an indifferent mess" to "a cheesy, familiar bore" via "excruciatingly lame" and "stupid, slack and sexless". Male critics in particular seemed to object to the fact that Matthew McConaughey spends much of the running-time shirtless and bare- chested. Kate Hudson even ended up with a "Worst Actress" Razzie nomination. And yet I was unable to join in this near-unanimous chorus of disapproval; not for the first time I found myself warming to a film which the critics generally hated. Yes, there are things wrong with it. Hudson will never have quite the same charisma as her famous mother Goldie Hawn. The cliff-hanging (or should that be plane-hanging) finale was a direct plagiarism from at least two Bond movies, except that in the Bond movies it was done better. Donald Sutherland tends to overact and plays Honeycutt with the sort of fruity upper-class British accent that the British upper classes generally abandoned circa 1960. (The Canadian Sutherland was presumably cast on the basis of the common American view that, as Canada is still part of the Queen's dominions, all Canadians must therefore speak the Queen's English with a British accent). I felt, however, that the critics who disparaged the film so much were taking it too seriously. It is not a comedy in the sense of a film which regales us with one hilarious joke after another, but it is generally light-hearted and does not take itself too seriously. (In this it is very different to "The Deep", which took itself far too seriously). The photography of the tropical scenery is attractive- another way in which it scores over "The Deep", where the scenes shot on land seemed just as dull and murky as those shot deep under the ocean. McConaughey and Hudson were never going to win any Oscars, but they make an likable couple, and there is an amusing contribution from Alexis Dziena as Honeycutt's airheaded daughter Gemma. There is nothing deep and significant about this film, but why should there be? There is, after all, a place in the cinema for films which simply seek to entertain rather than to make a profound statement about life, and entertaining is something which "Fool's Gold" does rather well. 6/10

Fool's Gold is an awful movie with a very poorly written storyline and a really mediocre cast. It had an ambitious storyline that sounded like it could have been a lot of fun, but it just left me very disappointed, it's story was promising and the film definitely looked beautiful, but this sadly isn't nearly enough to make up for everything else. The cast of the film either didn't seem to have any interest or had too much, Matthew McConaughey looked like he was having so much fun that he forgot he had to act, Kate Hudson looked like she couldn't wait to be finished work, everyone else just said their lines, the only performance that was noteworthy was Donald Sutherland, it's the type of movie that would mostly work when there's good chemistry between its ensemble cast, and that wasn't evident at all here. Another major problem with this movie is that it simply wasn't funny, it was more interested in being a comedy rather than an adventure, and they didn't deliver one bit, some of the lines could have worked out in some way if they had been delivered better, but for the most part the jokes are straight up lame, I didn't laugh once. Fool's Golds fails as a romance, a comedy and as an adventure, there is no heart there, no chemistry, it just dosen't work, and because of this I couldn't possibly recommend it. An estranged husband and wife reunite to search for a potentially massive haul of treasure. Best Performance: Donald Sutherland Worst Performance: Alexis Dziena

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.
