This movie was exciting, entertaining, and a good blend of romance, adventure, drama, and entertainment. Matthew McConaghey and Kate Hudson are a newly divorced couple who learn that a treasure they've been after is off the coast of Key West (thanks to Mr. Mac), and they take a cruise ship to go get it. My favorite scenes are the divorce scene, the diving scenes, and the scenes with the rich, air-headed rich girl. McConaghey is heavily in debt to a murderous rap star, which is why he is after the treasure. After a slow start, this really picks up and turns into a decent movie with gorgeous settings and lovely underwater photography and good cast chemistry. I loved it.*** out of ****

Living in the cold March weather of Winnipeg, Canada I found the sun and surf a relaxing break from the cold weather where the wind chill freezes my bones until July. A good solid movie. Great cast Hudson, Sutherland, and Matt. The actors can bring the best out of a script with their facial expressions, and mannerisms. Sutherland is like wine and gets better with age. A natural actor. The script is a good mix of humor, and action. The rapper sub-plot is added comic relief and action. The lighting and location shots bring out a feeling of adventure. The wide open spaces created by the camera angles give a feeling of freedom. All I can say is please take me away from this cold weather I want to be there in Florida. 7 start out of 10. Great to get rid of those winter blues.

Fools Gold is exactly how you would expect it to be. We have all heard the story before in SAHARA and dare I say it, Into the Blue, although this movie is obviously a comedy/adventure.As for the story's strength and the actors performances, again, it's exactly what you would expect. McConaughey, Hudson and the other supporting characters deliver more than adequate performances and Donald Sutherland is as brilliant as he can be considering the overall quality of this movie.Last but not least, pay attention to the accents, It seems like everybody has a fake (funny fake) accent. I'm not sure why they chose to fake the accents when everybody does a terrible job, but hey.. I guess it makes the movie even more entertaining.Definitely watchable
