 "Love is a gift, not an obligation..." January 20, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am not typically a fan of the romantic comedy, but Fools Rush In is one of the few that keeps my interest. The film focuses the trials and tribulations and cultural clash that follows a one-night stand in Vegas that leaves Isabelle Fuentes pregnant. Salma Hayek plays the fiesty Mexican-American photographer who hooks up with Alex Whitman (played by Matthew Perry), an uptight and nerdy WASP architect from New York City who is on a business trip in Nevada.
Hayek and Perry both deliver outstanding performances, and despite the fact that this movie is a comedy, it also contains a few sentimental moments as well. The film's ending is predictable, but the movie itself does raise some important issues regarding inter-ethnic dating and marriage - such as dealing with parents and in-laws, inevitable culture clash, disputes over the child's religious upbringing, and societal prejudice.
Men and women can equally relate to the events in the storyline. This film will resonate with anyone who has ever faced rejection from someone they were truly in love with; it will likewise resonate with those who have callously brushed aside someone who truly loved them.
In the final analysis, this film works so well because Hayek and Perry are such total opposites. Their diametrically opposed personalities drive home the comedy element in this film and keep the laughs rolling.
 Stupid story at times but it's funny and the charactors hve chemestry January 16, 2006

I would not say tis is the best movie or great but it's good. The story is about a young American leaves Mexican photographer pregnant. She finds him a few months later just to let him know what happened. In the rush of the moment he follows her and they decide to get married. After that, a crash of customs and ideas develops in their families and in their relationship because of their different cultural and national backgrounds. At times the story is stupid and the acting is ok but there are funny moments. The thing that saves the movie is the chemistry between the two main charactors. Overall it's not a great movie but if your board and cant think of nothing to watch, watch this you'll be entertained.

Great Romantic Comedy September 10, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't know what is was, possibly the relationship I was in at the time, or it could have been Salma Hayek, but I went through a phase where I watched this movie at least 3 times a week. Pathetic I know, but this movie is that good. Perry and Hayek offer great contrast as couple who has everything against them. If you are a fan of Romantic Comedies or "Friends" then you'll like "Fools Rush In."
