iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden Has an infectious, childlike enthusiasm. But, for a film with so much underwater action, it really lacks depth... | 8 | |

eye Weekly Adam Nayman Andy Tennant’s film is ugly, lazy and charmless — as if a film starring the ever-brittle Kate Hudson could be expected to be charming. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Overall, Fool's Gold is not unwatchable and the action-overloaded final 30 minutes passes quickly and easily. It's getting to that point that can be a chore. At best, Fool's Gold deserves a bronze. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers It's early in the year, but I defy any 2008 comedy to be as stupid, slack and sexless as Fool's Gold. And I'm counting Paris Hilton's appalling The Hottie and the Nottie, which is marginally better. | 0 | |
ScreenIt Pretty faces and buff, glistening bods can only carry this pic so far. The result is that instead of discovering cinematic treasure, only a fool will find gold in this mossy, algae-covered wreck that quickly sinks not long after leaving its port of call. | 7 | |
