(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 4% Rotten Page   1   C "Fool's Gold can't help but feel like one of the larger disappointments found in this new year of filmgoing. I mean, how often does a seafaring actioner come along, and then the guy hired to direct it is Andy Tennant?"   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "Fool's Gold is pretty much bereft of bright spots."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "The fools, it turns out, are audience members who get duped into thinking this will be a fun, energetic romp."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "It's a flat, listless movie all the way around, the kind where you know exactly how every scene will end the moment it begins."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "The "fool's gold" in this case is the money being thrown down by the clueless moviegoer to see this trivial travelogue...Gold has no distinctive shine to its glitter"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "A lumpy, leaden mixture of romantic comedy and adventure that never takes wing."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "It would be nice to say that Hudson and McConaughey connect the same way they did in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but the fitful chemistry from that film has all but evaporated here."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/10 "It's like Raiders of the Lost Ark, only for retards."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/5 "along the lines of Romancing the Stone or Six Days, Seven Nights... without the old man macking on the lesbian"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "...never aspires to much, but it's easy on the eyes, a vicarious Caribbean vacation, a beach read on a rainy day."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford D+ "Like its namesake mineral, Fool's Gold looks like one thing (a romantic comedy), turns out to be something else (an action-adventure), and has zero value."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "I can't imagine why on Earth anyone would want a movie to fail so spectacularly on every level -- perhaps there's some sort of tax shelter thing involved, or a Springtime for Hitler scam scenario -- but here it is."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "My favorite stars spent three months in a tropical paradise and all I got was this lousy movie."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Like its namesake, this one is all glitter."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "A trifling slice of winter season counter-programming."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Um dos tipos de besteira mais irritantes que existem: aquele que acredita precisar de duas horas para ser contado."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1.5/5 "Does McConaughey have some codicil in his contract stipulating he must spend at least 51% of a movie shirtless?"   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 1/5 "It was co-written by the authors of "Anaconda 2" and the director of "Hitch" and the Drew Barrymore version of the Amy Fisher story and even by those less-than-robust standards, they are playing well below their respective high-water marks"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "The idiocy on display in this film is almost breathtaking ... but it's also far more entertaining than those slickly pretentious Hollywood thrillers."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "Director Andy Tennant seems to have found a mythical Zen space of bad comedic timing."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 4/10 "An extended cruise ship commercial run through the blender with "Gilligan's Island" sub-plots and slacker pratfalls. A teenager's story about treasure hunting that not even a teen-ager could love."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 1/5 "as pretty as it is dumb"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "A semi-adventure and even less of a romantic comedy, only pretends to whip up excitement."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3/10 "A bad movie, bad in almost every respect, bad as adventure and bad as romance and bad as comedy. It's really completely bad."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 4% Rotten Page   1
