Fool’s Gold Sounds Like A Real Adventure

Waste of Time Add comments

A new movie staring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey is coming out this Friday (2/8/08) and it’s about one of my favorite things in the world - TREASURE HUNTING!

This movie looks like a hybrid of romantic-comedy meets treasure-adventure, and actually seems pretty good. Director Andy Tennant says “It’s an adventure comedy. It’s like ‘Romancing the Stone’ or even ‘North by Northwest.’ When I started witting I felt that, yes, this was about a married couple on the brink of divorce who go on one last adventure, which ultimately leads to them rekindling their marriage. But what I also took from it was that financial pressure can ruin a marriage. And that it didn’t matter whether you were treasure hunters or an accountant.”

The treasure hunt starts out as a search for legendary Spanish treasure lost in the Florida Keys (Who hasn’t dreamed of beautiful Spanish gold?). When the couple teams up with a millionaire and his daughter they hash out their treasure search in yachts, bars, underwater, in a cemetery, on an airplane and at gunpoint. Sounds like the kind of treasure hunt I’d rather watch than participate in, so count me in for a movie on Friday night!

Let me know if you guys end up going to see it and whether or not you like it!
