Fool's Gold (I) (2008)
1/10
Don't be Fooled. This is a stupid film.

Warning: Spoilers
You have to be a fool to sit through Fool's Gold. Yet another bad romantic comedy Hollywood unleashes. A broke, on-the-verge-of-divorce, deep-sea treasure hunter spots a clue to a long-lost treasure in Key West and drags his estranged wife, his buddy, a multi-millionaire and his spoiled stupid daughter to find it, all the while dodging a wealthy rapper with a stupid stage name and even stupider henchmen.

1) Once upon a time, Matthew McConaughey was poised to be the next Paul Newman. These days he seems more like a professional beach bum, both on and off the screen.

2) Kate Hudson was poised to be the next big thing, but has basically been in one crappy film after another, displaying neither talent nor personality. Simply put, she's just a member of the Lucky Egg Club.

3) Donald Sutherland deserves better than this. He really should call Keifer to get on his show.

4) What was the point of the daughter? She was a hybrid of Paris Hilton/Hannah Montana that was really a waste of celluloid. She wasn't even attractive. She looked like a twelve year old playing dress-up. Her voice and her constant stupidity made me cringe. A friend of mine once said "There's no crime in being stupid. It's staying stupid that's a crime." I say playing stupid or being stupid is...well, just plain stupid. I kept waiting for someone, anyone, to yell at her to stop being stupid, but she just kept on being stupid. Too bad that the sword landed near her crotch and didn't behead her.

5) What's Theo from the Cosby Show doing here?

6) If you're suppose to be a tough-guy hardcore rapper, why on earth would you call yourself Bigg Bunny? BIGG BUNNY???? That sounds like the name of a Muppet on Sesame Street, not a hardcore rapper with treasure and murder on his mind.
