Product Description

Fool's Gold (2008) (DVD/WS)

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson go for the gold (and the diamonds, emeralds and rubies) as a just-divorced couple who bicker and banter their way through an adventure- and laugh-packed undersea treasure hunt. McConaughey is Finn, in love with his ex (Hudson) and in deep with gangster Bigg Bunny. After eight years of searching, Finn gets a clue to the whereabouts of the Queen’s Dowry, a fabulous fortune that mysteriously disappeared in the Caribbean in 1715. Now all he has to do is get the gold, get the girl and get going before Bigg Bunny gets him. Directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch), Fool’s Gold glitters with danger, action, romance, comedy, great one-liners – and a great time to be had by all!

    It’s the perfect mix of adventure, romance, and humor, all wrapped up in a sun-soaked, treasure-hunting escapade. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson had fantastic chemistry, and their playful dynamic made the movie a lot of fun to watch.

    The tropical setting was gorgeous, the story was light and entertaining, and there was just the right amount of action to keep things exciting. It’s one of those movies that doesn’t take itself too seriously - and that’s exactly what makes it such an enjoyable ride.

    From start to finish, I was all in. Fool's Gold is a feel-good film I’d happily watch again!

    Ok, so this isn't some sort of cinematic art or big special effects extravaganza. Why people are reviewing this negatively because of the two stars, makes no sense to me. Since when do people expect much from Matthew McConaughey or Kate Hudson? Kate was really good in Almost Famous, but other than that I haven't been blown away by her or Matthew for that matter, in fact, I can't even think of him ever not playing some dolt without his accent. This movie harkens back to something like Overboard with its chemistry of two stars who would seem like an odd pair from different walks of life. While Matthew is no Kurt Russell, I think Kate is better than her mother ever was. So these two have pretty good chemistry together and then you shoot this movie in the best parts of Australia with great actors like Ray Winstone and Kevin Hart and Donald Sutherland and make it an adventure film, then you've got something really good. The movie is paced well, shot well and it looks great on Blu-Ray. Poor supplemental features, but I bought this for the movie so I'm not too bummed about the lack of extras. If you like adventure films and video games, you'll probably like this. I am a big fan of the video game series Uncharted, this movie reminds me of that series only not as funny or dangerous, but this movie is still witty and adventurous. I like this movie a lot, get It on sale and then if you don't like it, you won't feel like you got ripped off.

    Love this movie! I hadn't seen it in years, so it was so fun to see everyone I had forgot was in it or hadn't really known at the time I first found it. I think it's a great summer movie. The ocean wherever they filmed is beautiful and it just makes you want to jump in. Great action too!

    Reviewed in France on February 18, 2012
    C'est une comédie que j'avais d'abord commandée en Anglais par erreur après l'avoir vue en divx (certainement piraté) et qui m'avait tellement plu pour l'ambiance et l'humour particuliers dûs aux prestations et à la complicité infaillible des acteurs, alors même que le scénario sympa ne soit pas super original ni très compliqué... La très bonne musique participe indéniablement à l'ambiance inlassablement agréable de chaque projection... Le doublage français de ma 1ère version (divx) était bizarrement différent et meilleur que celui de ma version française officielle...
