MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Fool's Gold
0 User reviews | Post a review


Ben "Finn" Finnegan is an affable, modern-day treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry--40 chests of priceless treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan. Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Much to Tess' consternation, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his roguish charm, convinces the tycoon and his celebutante daughter, Gemma, to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. But, they are not the only ones after the prize. Finn's one-time mentor, Moe Fitch and a ruthless local gangster are intent on beating Finn to the prize.

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson play a couple brought back together by the prospect of finding sunken treasure in "Fool's Gold." Watching them in skimpy beachwear is probably the best thing about the lame adventure-comedy.
