Treasure hunter Ben "Finn" Finnegan has sunk his marriage to Tess and his trusty boat in his obsessive quest to find the legendary Queen's Dowry. When he finds a vital clue that may finally pinpoint the treasure's whereabouts, he drags Tess and her boss, billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, along on the hunt. But Finn is not the only one interested in the gold; his former mentor-turned-enemy Moe Fitch, hired by rapper-turned-gangster Bigg Bunny, will stop at nothing to beat him to it.

Michael Raes I love this movie. First , it has some great actors Winstone, Sutherland, Kate . Second : the scenery is what I want for a vacation. Thirdly : the camera crew , hats off . Fourth : the script might be thin , but hey Bond movies are thinner and full of non logic and overblown scenes. Do I like movies from Pasolini, Kurosawa, Kitano etc ...yes I do. Do I like a good action packed movie or SF , yes I do . But recently Hollywood is failing in most departments and have to squeeze out Alien-craps,Transformer craps and most blockbusters are not worthy a view. In that retrospect this little movie was enjoyable.
Alexander Rimsky I didn't expect to see something unbelievable when i started watching this movie. It was already clear from the plot summary that the film is kinda light and relaxing. So i just sit back on a sofa, turned it on and eased off. And it worked! The movie was just simply funny. Sometimes that's all you need to have a good time. Besides i would say that Matthew Mcconaughey played spectacular like he always does. Yeah, the plot and actions of characters are very naive that's for sure, but look at the bright side - you got stunning landscapes, cool cast and a cheery mood. That's not bad after all. So i would recommend watching it, especially if you had a tiresome day or you are on a date. In first case the film will restore your mood and energy, in second - sustain a pleasing atmosphere and add fun
avenger-26413 I can not imagine anyone not liking this movie. There is a lot of funny humor and most enjoyable there is actually a serious plot to the story. What is pleasing to me, the movie actually made me laugh and not just one time. If you want to just set back and enjoy a fun time and eat your snack and watch a movie with your spouse, partner or significant other, this is a very good movie to watch. All of the actors seem to be made for their parts. The interaction between McConaughey and Hudson are great together. To me all the fun scenes, and there are more than a few, come off well within the norm for Hollywood humor. I do not like slap-stick, this movie is funny without being Jerry Lewis silly.
David Holt (rawiri42) Fool's Gold is a great movie to watch with the family on a rainy afternoon. It is full of sunshine, beautiful scenery and fun action without gratuitous profanity or violence. Yes, there IS violence insofar that there are some fights and shooting between the good guys (and girls) and the bad guys but then what would you expect in an action movie?I particularly enjoyed Donald Sutherland's upper crust English accent - I say, what an awfully super chap he was don't ya think! As for his bimbo daughter, well she came right in the end too and, I noted in the closing scene, ended up with the East European jerk! I did notice that, in a scene supposedly shot in Key West, there was one shot of a junction between Water Street and Water Avenue. Neither street exists in Key West! But then it WAS all a story wasn't it?Altogether a great romp worth, in my opinion, more than its score on IMDb. Next rainy Sunday afternoon when I've got nothing to do, I'll watch Fool's Gold again and probably enjoy it just as much again!
