Fool's gold is the movie that makes you feel that you're in one of the best vacations for 112 minutes. It has action, adventure and humor, all in equal quantities. The best thing is that they've put Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, we know they look good in the movie How to lose a guy in ten days.

Matthew plays the role of Ben "Finn" Finnegan, a treasure hunter who dedicates his whole energy trying to find 40 chests full of lost gold in the depths of the sea in the year 1715. Unfortunately this treasure hunt "helps" him lose his wife, Tess(Kate) whom he tries to win over. In this combination we have Donald Sutherland who plays the role of a billionaire who can sponsor Finn's campaign and Alexis Dzien in the role of the daughter who seems to be a pretty close relative of Kelly Bundy.

Director Andy Tennant did a great job with the underwater scenes that look really good. But I think it was to be expected as long as every actor took diving lessons. Yes, even Kate Hudson.

It is true that there are minuses to the movie, like the predictable action, or the bad guy who can't intimidate anyone (Kevin Hart), but still for those who appreciate movies with treasure hunting, Fool's gold is an option.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to bring your tanning lotion with you.
