I am getting ready for September already. I can hardly believe that summer is two months gone. School starts in just 20 days. It has been a busy summer for sure.
One of my favorite summer movies of all time is Fools Gold (2008). If you have not seen it, please give yourself 1H and 52 min to enjoy this treasure hunt. Finn, played by Matthew McConaughey, is a serial treasure hunter who is fixated on one Spanish ship. The Aurelia went missing in 1715 (true fact), carrying the Queen’s Dowry containing “emeralds, the size of your fist”. It is speculated that the the others ships were lost in the hurricane of 1715 or attacked by Pirates. However, the captain of the ship carrying the Queen’s Dowry was never discovered. Finn and Tess, played by Kate Hudson, embark on a journey to find the missing dowry and run into some interesting characters along the way.
Why you should watch it:
-
It is a great rainy day film. Click to see the trailer
-
If you love How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, this is the beach version.
-
Adults only: Not great for kids, (language and one “sex” scene)
-
This is a funny rom-com, perfect for summer.
-
I still have a hard time not referring to Kevin Hart as Bigg Bunny.
Happy Cuddles!
