Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were made for each other. Or at least made to make crummy movies together. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Fool’s Gold, and on the sixth day they rested. Or not. Actually it looks like they aren’t going to give us a break from terrible rom-coms. It was only a few months ago that Fool’s Gold flopped, and now they’re working on another.
WENN claims they’re planning to remake Foul Play together. If you’re not familiar with the original 1978 Oscar nominated comedic thriller, it starred Kate Hudson’s mom Goldie Hawn and a certain Chevy Chase, back when he was still talented. The movie casts Chase and Hawn as a bumbling cop and a shy librarian falling in love while solving an off the wall crime. Kate Hudson should have no trouble pulling off Goldie Hawn (how hard is blonde bimbo really), though unfortunately I think the best we can expect McConaughey to manage is modern day Chevy Chase.
For now, the word is that they’re just in negotiations to get the picture going. According to Hudson, “we don’t even have a writer yet.” Frankly, I’m shocked to hear that any of her movies have writers. I mean why bother? Seems like a waste of money.

There are movies that guys are going to like, and there are movies that women are going to like. I'm so sick and tired of male movie critics putting down romantic comedies. I bet this reviewer didn't even see the 2 MM/KH movies mentioned. How to Lose a Guy was a really great, funny movie seen by lots of people many times. Fool's Gold wasn't a rom-com, it was more action adventure-and it indeed was a pretty sucky movie, although it did really well at the box office. The putting down of rom-coms is just getting really old. Not all of them are good, and not all of them are bad, just like in any genre.
Yeah Fool's Gold did really well - in that it had to rely on foreign box office sales to turn a profit. It only made as much as its budget here in the U.S., not really that good.
On that note, Fool's Gold didn't even make 100 million domestically. It barely broke 70 million (yes you guessed it, that's how much it cost to make.). So that would consider it a flop here in the U.S. considering it didn't turn a profit here.

Since when is a movie that hits 100 million in US a flop?
