Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Fool’s Gold.

What I Liked: A movie of lush tropical vistas, voluptuous lead actresses and the stereotypical treasure hunt that is sprinkled with a lot of sexual innuendos, irony and humorous dialog that is entertaining, as long as you don’t over analyze the premise of the antagonist.

What I Disliked: The quirky unbelievable characters of the villain and his henchmen, whom appear to be more like caricatures with a parody on some sort of rapper mogul.

Would I Recommend?: If you are just looking for a good time with your date; this is a good movie for laughs, romance and adventure.

Score: 7 out of 10

What I Liked: Although I thought this was going to be a “chick flick,” it turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable romantic comedy which my husband also enjoyed.  The chemistry between McConaughey and Hudson is fantastic, as in their last movie together, and I enjoyed Alexis Dziena in her role.

What I Disliked: My only caution about this movie is there is some brief nudity so be careful with your teenagers.

Would I Recommend?: I would highly recommend this movie for a lighthearted evening out.

Score: 8 out of 10

What I Liked: I wanted to like this movie.  The lush, gorgeous shots of the ocean (filmed in Australia) were breathtaking to see on the big screen.  I like Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson and the chemistry they have together.  Donald Sutherland is usually amazing, no matter what the role.  Did I mention how beautiful the Australian beach scenes were?

What I Disliked: This movie tries to be all things to all people, but ends up being not much to anyone.  Kate Hudson’s character Tess, a steward on a millionaire’s yacht, is finally divorcing her irresponsible husband of eight years, surfer dude and treasure hunter Finnigan (Matthew McConaughey), who has just discovered the 18th century Spanish “Queen’s booty” they’ve searched for all these years.  On the run from his financier’s thugs, however, Finnigan can’t recover the treasure without Tess’s help and her millionaire boss’s financial support.  “Fool’s Gold” starts out as a romantic comedy, turns into an action/adventure thriller, and finishes as an over-the-top, predictable jumble of genres and storylines.  The only consistencies were the weak characters and the regular whacks to the head that Finnigan received throughout the movie.

Would I Recommend?: Only if you’re overwhelmed, overworked and in desperate need of vegging out with a big bucket of popcorn in front of a brightly colored, flimsy flick for a couple of hours.  Otherwise, save your money.
