Eva Longoria must have figured she can try and squeeze this lousy heap of celluloid trimmings in between shoots of Desperate Housewives. Uhm… she must have learned her lesson by now… She’s better off doing bit parts or smaller roles and just putting some eye-candy on big movies like she did in Michael Douglas’ “The Sentinel.”
Paul Rudd desperately needs to stay away from rubbish like this. The guy ain’t untalented. But unless the paycheck is pretty good, Rudd just took his market value a notch down with this movie.
The best about it was that I got to snooze off for half an hour…
“Fools Gold”

Donald Sutherland is either broke or bored, or was offered a shipload (pun intended) of money to appear as a super-rich foreign tycoon who has an imbalanced brat for a daughter, who would have been attractive if she wasn’t forcing the bimbo act so much…
Matt McConaughey was sent here to earth to humble me. He exists to belittle physically imperfect hetero-sexual Asian men like me, who are not built like him. Good thing he’s always depicted as being denser than a brick wall, and almost as clueless as Paula Abdul after several shots of that laced Coke on the judges’ table at American Idol. Mabuhay to the stereotypically intelligent, but physically inferior Asian man… whoopee…
Who cares about the movie? It’s what these great actors are doing with their careers that I’m worried about.
They give their best, but the material is too thin for me… my wife enjoyed it though…

It’s half a year away from Thanksgiving (of course, we don’t have thanksgiving here in the Philippines), but what we have here is an early serving of a couple of turkeys…
