Kristy and I watched Fool's Gold tonight with very low expectations. We were both surprised that it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. It's kind of a cute romantic comedic adventure that really is nothing much more than a fist full of air. But it's fun enough that I didn't really mind too much (though the dumb McConaughey assistant and dumber millionaire daughter did get annoying). Matthew McConaughey plays a treasure seeker trying to find a lost Spanish treasure trove of gold. Kate Hudson plays his ex-wife and former partner in the now-decades old (and heretofore fruitless) treasure hunt. However, near the beginning of the film off the coast of an island in the Bahamas, McConaughey uncovers a piece of china that supposedly belonged to the ship that was last known to have had the Spanish gold. But he is so deeply in debt (and accidentally destroys his boat) that he no way to continue his search. So he enlists the help of a local millionaire who also happens to be his ex-wife's current employer. The rest of the movie falls from there. The mysteries of the treasure... once locked and impenetrable for centuries, unfold and are solved in minutes, etc, etc. Summary: Deserves a look.
