  Better than expected!
  
  I really enjoyed it, and enjoyed following the historical aspect. Not sure if I'd buy it on DVD, but I would happily watch it again

  Fool's Gold (2008)
  
  Very disappointing. Matthew and Kate in action drama in beautiful setting sounds like a perfect combination. But sadly disappointed.

  Nicely does it....
  
  A perfectly nice, 'light 'n' relaxed' comedy. Some genuine laugh out loud moments.....especially with the frying pan in the kitchen.....
