Trailer Review: Fool's Gold

Posted by Paul Clark



Was anybody really clamoring for a Matthew McConaughey/Kate Hudson reunion vehicle? Yet here they are, hoping to re-capture that How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days magic and to make us forget that they're largely coasting on the goodwill from their single signature roles from years ago — Hudson in Almost Famous, McConaughey in Dazed and Confused. As for the movie itself, it looks pretty awful, the standard Hollywood claptrap about how women, deep down, really want exciting-if-unreliable men with whom they can have sexy adventures. McConaughey and Hudson getting back together is such a foregone conclusion here that the trailer doesn't even bother showing the requisite "other guy," Hudson's more sensible and modestly-handsome rebound boyfriend who will serve as a placeholder until she realizes that McConaughey is the only man vapid enough to make her happy. Only funny part of this trailer is Hudson talking about going back to school to get her Ph.D., since I'd guess that without a script handy Hudson would have a hard time spelling Ph.D. Oh, and Ray Winstone — WHY????
