Random Comments: Fool's Gold
- Guys -- if you HAVE to watch a "date movie" to satisfy your significant other, this is the one to rent. You'll be pleasantly surprised. It was not what I was expecting.
- The movie mocks rappers and rich heiresses.
- Humorous-yet-intense action sequences.
- Kate Hudson is started to remind me of her mother in this movie.
- Beautiful island scenery.
- Cool treasure hunt.
- Hudson's reaction when she sees her ex-husband on the boat -- priceless.
Even if you're not on a date, go rent it. You might get inspired to leave your silicon princess at home and go interact with real human beings.

I don't detect sarcasm.
I'm scared now.
Matthew McConaughey....romantic adventure...was only in the theaters was a few weeks....10% RT rating...
I'll take your word.
Or perhaps President Obama has engraved the Anti-Life Equation on your mind and took away your free will, like what happened in FINAL CRISIS #4 to everyone on New Earth...
"Oh, Fool's Gold? It's a fag movie. What are you, nuts?
What can I say, except I had zero expectations. ZERO.
I rented it b/c they didn't have another romantic movie my wife wanted to see. I rented AVP:R, since we both like Aliens ... I rented Charlie Wilson's War cause the previews and stories about it on NPR intrigued me ... and I rented Fool's Gold.
I actually enjoyed Fool's Gold. We both laughed and enjoyed the silliness.
I checked out Rotten Tomatoes, and I understood the reviews. If you don't care for McConaughey, then don't see it. I've gotten used to him ... and he was funny in the movie, to me.
And ... it wasn't very romantic, which was fine with me. It was more of a realistic love-hate relationship with some reconciliation at the end as they both achieved dreams.
The actors were all funny in their roles.
And I enjoyed Puff Daddy and Paris Hilton being parodied in this film.
And who can argue with a cameo appearance from the GREAT Malcolm Jamal-Warner, doing a Jamaican accent and getting shot in the foot?
Again ... this was ZERO expectation.
I will say this, just to clarify further -- most romantic movies with my expectation dialed down to ZERO are still intolerable for me. G. does not expect me to sit through those, and I don't.
However, if there is some humor that I enjoy, like the movie Hitch or You've Got Mail, then I am entertained.
So, if you caught me doing a review on, say, a David Duchovny romantic movie ... then you could argue that the Anti-Life Equation had been carved into my brain.
