This one looks like it might just hit the gold. Aiming to woo the Valentines crowd, Fool's Gold is a romantic comedy adventure that brings together the charm power of Mathew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. So the guys and the gals are kept happy with this offering, no complaints whatsoever. The duo who starred last together in How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days reteams in this flick, which happens to be the latest from director Andy Tennant (Hitch, Ever After).
Ben "Finn" Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is an affable, modern-day treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry--40 chests of priceless treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan (Kate Hudson).
Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Much to Tess' consternation, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his roguish charm, convinces the tycoon and his celebutante daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. But they are not the only ones after the prize. Finn's one-time mentor, Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone), and a ruthless local gangster (Kevin Hart) are intent on beating Finn to the prize. Let the treasure hunt begin...

TRAILER
EXCITED??
Looking at the season, probably this could be one of those successful romantic comedies. Atleast it does not pretend to be anything else and the leading duo are hot enough to draw in the crowds. And going by the track record of director Tennant, he surely knows how to strike gold at the box office with the material on hand.
And from the trailer, it does look like one that will keep the cash registers ringing. In other words, at a box office where Spartans can rule, this can conquer!
EARLY REVIEWS
Variety does not seem impressed with this - a listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end
Fool's Gold like its story line, unfortunately, is old hat, all wet, and as rock bottom rummaging for narrative resuscitation as you can get. - Newsblaze
