 Fool's Gold September 2, 2008
This movie was awesome - it was so good to see Matthew McConaughey & Kate Hudson together again. I loved them when they played together in "How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days" & I loved them in "Fool's Gold". This movie was sooooooooooo funny - a wonderful movie!!!! I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is such a joy seeing two actors that can work so well together as these two actors can. Once again this is a movie no one should miss watching!!!!

Fluffy romp--should be watched in the winter August 31, 2008
Admittedly, this is a contrived, predictable mystery, but that proves to be the focus rather than the romantic comedy that was promoted. But in the spirit of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, it's a spunky contrived, predictable mystery. No, the characters were not all complex, but at least the powers that be went to the trouble of making them entertaining and personable.
I liked the idea of looking for sunken treasure. I liked the upbeat island soundtrack. I liked the funny characters. I liked the pretty scenes and the silly lines. I liked the random explosions and fight scenes, as pleasantly ridiculous as they were.
Kate and Matthew have the chemistry they had in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". They have the sunny dispositions to pull off a mindless-but-fun storyline and to work with a wacky cast.
It's mind candy in all its fluffy goodness.
Not what I expected. August 9, 2008

This movie was so-so. I watched it on a plane and although it had me captured at first-Matthew and his fantastic body!- I somehow fell asleep through half of it. Now I was tired, but even so, if it was exciting enough-although the history lesson they provided was interesting-it should have kept me awake. I have to say that I'm not that upset that I missed a lot of it, because I quickly caught up in the end-with Matthew landing a plane in the water, a talent he never possessed, which it proved because it also crashed.
Kinda bland, kinda silly. Overall, hum-drum!
Really enjoyed the show! August 7, 2008

DVD's that I order from Amazon always arrive in excellent condition. This one was no exception. We watched it right away.
