Eye Candy #393 - "Fool's Gold"

Fool’s Gold:  A romantic comedy/adventure yarn about a treasure hunter in the Florida Keys (played by Matthew McConaughey) who juggles wooing his newly-divorced ex-wife (Kate Hudson) and finding a sunken treasure galleon full of gold and silver with the help of obligatory rich guy (Donald Sutherland), all while dodging some local criminal types (led by the decidedly unthreatening Kevin Hart from “Soul Plane”, playing a character named Bigg Bunny). A fairly pedestrian exercise that isn’t quite successful in either the adventure or romance departments. Sure, it's slick, but I was expecting more. But then again, I feel that way about a lot of director Andy Tennant's films - they are put together well, but lack a certain something that puts them over the top. Woodchuck sez, "May be your cup of tea."
