Fool's Gold: DVD, Blu-ray Review (2008)

Essentially, it’s about two fools pimping their abs, with the high-definition Blu-ray version making them appear especially cut. 

You’re looking for more? Sorry.

Clocking in at nearly two hours, this movie feels as if it was directed, written and performed by a ship of fools--and, my, how that ship belches when it sinks.

After teaming once before in 2003's "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are back to prove they have zero chemistry as Finn and Tess, a married couple who are about to divorce as the film begins.

They still love each other, sure, and their sex life is hotter than crab cakes, but after years of trying to find a hidden treasure off a Bahamian reef, Tess wants to give up and go to graduate school in Chicago. Finn refuses to go with her, which says it all for the kind of people we're dealing with here.

But not so fast. Turns out Finn might be on the cusp of finding the sunken, 16th-century Spanish loot they've been seeking for so long. Will Tess help him find it? Is that even a question?

Along with her employer, the billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland, pitiful), as well as the billionaire's air-head daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), two token gay men, a boat captain (Ray Winstone) and an irritating dork (Ewen Bremner), Tess joins the fray to take on a gun-toting villain named Bigg Bunny (Kevin Hart)--yes, Bigg Bunny--who wants the treasure for himself.

Does Bigg Bunny haul in the big carats? Do Tess and Finn fall back into each other's arms? Is it even necessary to go on? I didn't think so.

Rated PG-13. Grade: D-
