Fool's Gold
It's cold in Jersey. Not so in the movie theater.
Fool's Gold, set in the Caribbean, was filmed in Australia. The screen offered us beautiful views of sparkling blue ocean with an adorable Kate Hudson and barely clothed Matthew McConaughey. (The fact that he always looks like he smells doesn't matter when he's out of nose range and he offers the world such outstanding muscle definition and a striking semblance to Paul Newman.) What's to complain about? Also, Donald Sutherland repeats his eccentric, wealthy father routine he mastered in Pride and Prejudice and Dirty Sexy Money. The movie previews promised entertainment akin to Romancing the Stone and it delivered. It had underwater action scenes, slapstick humor, and star chemistry.
Don't expect to be able to brag to your friends that you saw some intellectual movie like when you forced yourself to endure Atonement. This one hasn't received the rave reviews and won't earn any Oscar nominations, but if you want to escape for a few silly hours on a tropical vacation, this movie is for you.
It's much cheaper than a cruise.
