Fool’s gold (12A)
ALISON ROWATApril 17 2008

Star rating: *
Dir: Andy Tennant
With: Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Donald Sutherland

Who knows why Donald Sutherland agreed to star in this tedious adventure comedy? Not only is he subjected to a script so awful it hurts, they make him adopt a British accent straight out of Noel Coward. He's far from the only one embarrassing himself in this tale of treasure hunters searching for a shipwreck. Matthew McConaughey spends the movie with his shirt off in a desperate bid to drum up female interest - sorry, mate, no sale - while our own Ewen Bremner attempts what is meant to be a Ukrainian accent, but only if Ukraine has moved to just outside Falkirk. The only interest is in seeing how spookily Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn's daughter, now resembles her mother.
