The 'gold' of the title refers to an elusive pirate's booty, but it just as easily could mean the sun-washed glistening shores of Florida, or the sumptuously tanned bodies of its appealing stars, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. The whole film is awash in golden highlights, and the scenery and cinematography make the experience akin to taking a tropical holiday. Hudson and McConaughey reprise the chemistry they first exhibited in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, sparking and tangling and kvetching, while all the while the audience knows, of course, they adore each other and are perfect for each other. McConaughey is a dreamer, on the trail of a sunken pirate's treasure, and Hudson his now-ex-wife, a historian who prefers life to be a little more sedate. McConaughey, as Finn, delivers impassioned speeches to Hudson, as Tess, saying, 'You want history? It's in the ocean, lady!' Before you can say Romancing the Stone, Tess and Finn are grudgingly reunited in search of the booty. If the plot doesn't contain many surprises, the froth of the stars' chemistry is amiable and makes for a perfect date movie. Scuba divers may find McConaughey's antics below the surface to be wildly unbelievable and usually fatal, but in the end viewers will root for him to surface, and recapture the heart of his lady love. --A.T.

Rating:  - Cute but not worth fooling with
Benjamin Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) in search a ship wreck with gold and other treasure alienates his wife Tess (Kate Hudson,) defaults on a loan from the local bad guy Bigg Bunny (Kevin Hart) and misplaces a boat.
Yet he finds a clue to the treasure and must placate Bigg Bunny, regain the appreciation of his wife, find a sugar daddy to finance his expedition and beat a rival to the claim. The sugar daddy turns out to be Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). Nigel is on his own quest ... Read More
Rating:  - It's good
Maybe the movie isn't a 5 starer, but the fact that it's an easy / fun movie to watch puts it over the top. The music fits and adds to the enjoyment. Sutherland, Hudson, and MM do a good job. One of those movies you can watch a few times and still enjoy it.
Rating:  - What an awful movie
Girls, don't make your boyfriends watch this with you. If you really want to watch it, do so with your girlfriends, (along with The Notebook, just get them both out of your system) and then rent with your boyfriend to a decent flick, like, well, anything that's not this fluff without a heart to it. If you do make your boyfriend watch this pointless movie, you totally owe them a guys' night just to get it out of their heads.
Rating: - Pretty good date movie - that's about it
Spending life as a beachbum appeals to Finn (McConaughey). So much so, in fact, that it cost him his wife Tess (Kate Hudson). She was happy to be with him for some time, chasing his dreams of finding sunken Spanish treasure, but inevitably he never managed to find gold or strike it rich. On the day of their wedding annulment, Finn finds a clue that may lead him to the riches that could make him famous and filthy rich, not to mention rekindling his marriage.
Once he links back up with ... Read More
Rating: - A Great Movie.
Question. What's wrong with this movie?
Answer. Nothing. Nothing other than it didn't contain graphic sex, the dismemberment of human bodies, or the "F" word every 5 seconds and it was a PG-13 rating. Granted it's not Oscar material but if "No Country for Old Men" can win big then who knows... This was a refreshing movie which shows that there is still some talent left in Hollywood that has the ability to write a good story and act. More movies need to be made in this manner. Give me more light ... Read More
