Fools Rush In

Pros: Funny in places, sweet, Chandler and Hayek likeable leads
Cons: Lacks subtlety, too many under-developed characters

Fools Rush In where angels dare to tread, or so it is said... in this case the fools happen to by business high-flyer Alex Whitman (Matthew Perry) and impetuous Mexican señorita Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hyek). After a one night stand, Alex wakes up ...

Pros: Salma Hayek! Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry in a great Romantic Comedy
Cons: Kind of unbelievable that anyone would put a career over Salma Hayek.

Salma Hayek. What other reason do you need to see this film? This Romantic Comedy from 1997 is still far superior to any other film in this genre to come out since.

Fools Rush In stars Matthew Perry (Chandler from Friends) and the...

Pros: Great chemistry between Perry and Hayek
Cons: Predictable story

In 1997 director Andy Tennant inspired us with the comedic romance Fools Rush In which mixed new love with old culture. This rich little movie remains one of my favourite romances, as it sparked the movie careers of Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry. ...

Pros: Salma Hayek, Perry and Fallon
Cons: implausible story and the labor scene

For a little light hearted romance , this film is hard to beat. It isn’t earth shaking, dynamic or likely to be discovered as a missed classic, but it is fun and it features the acting talents of Miss Salma Hayek, easily one of the most beautiful...

Pros: Great love story. Great soundtrack. Salma Hayeck grrrwwwlllll.
Cons: Nada

I remember when I had first sort of seen this movie. It was early 1996 and I was in a Quality Inn in Orlando, Florida. The Quality Inn has the pay per view movies that are very recently out of the theaters, so my wife (then girlfriend) chose Fools Rush ...

Pros: Sweet romance
Cons: Not overly funny or mind-boggling

It's summer, and the reruns are on. My frugal self takes a trip to the public library and grabs the first movie from my recent past that I haven't seen. My ratio (according to my husband) so far this summer is about 25% good to 75% why did I bother....

Pros: Romance
Cons: None

Fools Rush In was a surprise to me. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good. I figured it was just an excuse to give Mathew Perry of the TV show Friends a movie to star in. I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be more than just a showcase film....

Pros: Perry and Hayek are watchable; a few funny moments.
Cons: Completely by-the-book story; totally uncreative; predictable; melodramatic.

As good as Hollywood is at making movies and television programs, when they combine the two it never works. "Fools Rush In" is a mediocre romantic comedy that acts like a two-hour sitcom, complete with predictable jokes, zany overacting and gags that ...

Pros: It doesn't suck.
Cons: There's better things to be viewing.

You know how it goes. Girl meets boy under strange circumstances. Girl and boy have nothing in common, but hit it off. Girl and boy meet again months later under strange circumstances. Some sort of long, drawn out problem happens. Boy and girl end...

Pros: good laughs...good love
Cons: a couple of jokes that will make you groan...but forgivable

Fools Rush In will always be one of my favorite movies, both for the quality of the story, and the special meaning it has to me. First...the quality of the story...

Matthew Perry is Alex, a successful businessman in charge of overseeing...

Pros: The two have great chemistry & their personality differences add to the comedic portion of the movie.
Cons: It isn't realistic, but it wasn't a setback considering it's a romantic comedy

I knew beforehand that this movie would not be any kind of Oscar winning melodrama. However, I never expected it to be as fun, sweet, and somewhat touching as it was. The mismatch of the two stars personalities, Perry being a logical architect and...

Pros: A couple laughs
Cons: An extended, weakly written episode of "Friends"

REVIEW ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN 1997

I knew when "Friends" hit it big in late 1994 that every last one of the six actors on the show would be given a lame comedy vehicle. Now, in 1997, after Ed, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,...

Pros: Lots of laughs, Matthew Perry is hot, and its a really cute movie.
Cons: none

Fools Rush In is a really cute romantic comedy. Unfortunately I doubt the story in this film would ever happen in real life, but what the hell? It is still an awesome movie. What happens is, Matthew Perry and Selma Hyack have a one night stand, she gets...

Pros: Good acting good story
Cons: Sometimes hard to follow

Fools rush in is the most entrancing movie I've ever seen. I saw part of it on T.V. one night and knew I've got to rent it, so I did and after watching the entire thing I knew I'd have to own it. I've watched it several times and I can honestly say...

Pros: Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry
Cons: Sappy love story

Okay, maybe that's unfair. Fools Rush In is not that bad. All good stories are love stories.

However, I was expecting funny, and what I got was sappy. (I thought this is supposed to be a comedy. It's not.)

There are bonuses. Salma...
