Nov 21 2007'Fool's Gold' Trailer Defines a 'McComedy'
When I hear about a new Jim Carrey comedy, Adam Sandler comedy, or Ben Stiller comedy, I know exactly what kind of typically groan-worthy movie I'm in store for. But until this trailer for Fool's Gold, I had no clear vision of what a Matthew McConaughey comedy meant.
As it turns out, a Matthew McConaughey comedy (a McComedy) is like a reality show where Matthew McConaughey stars as his typical rowdy-southern-dude self while the rest of the cast tries desperately to piece together a plot that makes sense of all his horny shirtlessness and necessary beach time. And with Surfer Dude next in his comedy lineup, it appears this is just the start of a larger trend.
Trailer under the cut.

Meh.
They're playing up the sweaty fat guy as the antagonist of the film, but $20 says he turns out to be nothing more than a pawn of the manipulative Donald Sotherland who hired Kate Hudson not, as she had been led to believe, because of her refined dinner-serving skills, but instead because of her history of tracking down treasure wiht the sweaty thin guy.
As a bonus clichee, I bet he explains his scheme to them whild holding them at gunpoint and holding the pistol in the manner universally approved for snooty old men: elbow at hip, forearm perpendicular to the ground.
