Lights Camera Action

This weekend, Friday February 8th a comedy that was filled with adventure and romance was released. The movie, Fool’s Gold starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson was produced by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turn and directed by Andy Tennant. McConaughey and Hudson are most remembered for their first romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in Ten”, which was an enormous success. This film grossed 100,000 million dollars in the box office and it was only time that this dynamic duo hit the big screen again for another unforgettable film. McConaughey plays Finn, a scavenger on the trail of a ship that sunk in the 1700s laden with the riches of a Spanish royal dowry. His marriage with Kate Hudson who plays Tess was portrayed as a relationship heading towards shipwreck. She prepares their divorce which will take place in Key West. Ironically, this comedy takes a turn when they are both reunited on the yacht where she's working as a steward for ultra-rich Nigel Honeycutt. They pair up and once again stir up their passion for treasure hunting and begin their last treasure hunt together in hopes of finding 500 million dollars in diamonds. Unfortunately, New York Times critics only gave Fool’s Gold two and half stars rating out of five. Watch the clip I provided for you, and go out and see this romantic comedy so you can voice your opinion about the movie!
