Fool’s Gold Movie Reviews

Good solid movie

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.

Predictable, but entertaining…

While “Fool’s Gold” is predictable to the point where even a blind can see what’s coming, it still proves to be quite entertaining. It is the type of movie that you can’t help to enjoy, sort of like a brushed up take on a movie such as “Romancing the Stone”.

There is a good flow to the story and it worked out quite nicely. The movie picks up speed right from the very start and keep on sprinting in that high speed to the very end. And while on the topic of the story, then it is only fair to say that the storyline is fun, good and fast paced.

The movie was also quite nicely cast, and there is a great chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. But Donald Sutherland also did add a great, unique touch to the movie, just a shame that he didn’t have more time on the screen than he did.

“Fool’s Gold” is the type of movie that you can watch more than just once, despite being so predictable.

A mess

The only reason why I didn’t rate Fools Gold any lower is because of the film’s setting, which is absolutely gorgeous and photographed beautifully. The soundtrack was yet another instance of being nice to listen to but was forgettable soon after. The story is uneven in pace and predictable in that you know what is coming and how it was going to end. The script is a mess really, there is a severe lack of wit, it all feels heavy-handed and the more romantic moments are very stilted in the flow. I also had difficulty believing that the same director who directed the sublime Ever After: A Cinderella Story also directed this, the direction here is rather phoned in and any touches that were at least nice don’t live long in the memory. The acting is not very good, Matthew McCoghauney and Kate Hudson are attractive but have a lack of chemistry between them I feel and neither of them look natural here, while Donald Sutherland was a nice find but he deserved much better. The actors though are disadvantaged by the fact the characters are very stock and irritating in Fools Gold. Overall, a mess and only redeemed by the setting. 2/10 Bethany Cox
