What happens when two Hollywood celebrities team up again after their blockbuster film that they had recently made? It's not unusual in Hollywood but in “Manilawood” huh? Where the hell is this? Of course we have so much love teams here. What I'm talkin' here is that after their megahit “How To Lose Guy In 10 Days”, Kate & Matthew are back again to sizzle the screen or maybe not.
Their first movie I must say is refreshing and they have an unbelievable chemistry which is really good. In Fool's Gold, there is zilch. I'm wondering why their magical oomph vanished here. Matthew is always half-naked and he is also totally naked in one scene but it's really quick so don't expect to ogle something shiny as gold. Just forget it. Matthew is not that attractive here. He looks dorky and stupid even if his character is smart.
Kate Hudson I must say is the saving grace. She acts naturally and she's effulgent like gold. She's versatile coz she did some underwater scenes and I think that she would be great as an action star just like Angelina Jolie.
Fool's Gold is all about treasure hunting mixed with some 2nd chance love affair flair. This is almost comparable to Walt Disney's National Treasure coz of the puzzle clues .. They have to decode a lot of clues hidden somewhere. The only difference is that the latter is exciting and funny while this one is only hilarious if that starlet acting like Paris Hilton is making some stupid dumb lines. Yeah, I get it. They palpably spoofed the rich hotel heiress. Poor girl. Well, I really enjoyed her when she's acting like a schmuck. She's cute to watch.
This film is directed by Andy Tennant. Well, he is quiet good here but the story is just so lame and predictable. It killed his talent. Andy impressed me when he directed Ever After & Sweet Home Alabama. His touch didn't turn into gold instead it turned out to be a fake copper in here.Too bad.
This film may be loved by all beach lovers out there. Yeah, Bahamas is a great destination for an ultimate vacation. I love the pristine sea and the white sands are just tempting. I would definitely swim naked in that beach. It's really really gorgeous. What? They didn’t shoot this in the Bahamas? In Queensland instead? That’s weird! I'm really into beach that's why I got enthusiastic in this movie.
By the way, this film topped the US Box Office on its first weekend despite its negative reviews.
The DVD is out now. Am I recommending this? Yeah, just borrow or rent this one.
RATING : 2.5 / 5 *
