Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
gwnightscream Matthew Perry, Salma Hayek, Jon Tenney, Siobhan Fallon, Carlos Gomez, Suzanne Snyder, John Perry and Jill Clayburgh star in this 1997 romantic comedy. This begins in New York where architect, Alex Whitman (Perry) is chosen to go to Las Vegas, Nevada to open a nightclub. Soon, he meets Latina photographer, Isabel Fuentes (Hayek) and they have a one night stand. Three months later, Isabel tells Alex she's pregnant and his life changes. They get married and learn they're from different worlds. Alex's work also starts to interfere with their marriage, but eventually he gets his priorities straight and believes that fate brought him and Isabel together. Tenney plays Alex's friend, Jeff, Fallon (Men in Black) plays Isabel's friend, Lanie, Gomez plays Isabel's ex-boyfriend, Chuy, Snyder (Weird Science) plays Alex's other friend, Cathy, the late, Clayburgh plays Alex's mother, Nan and Matthew's real-life father, John plays his on-screen father, Richard. I've always liked this film and Matthew & Salma have good chemistry. I recommend this good romance film.
JulieC3200 each time that I watch it. There's some charm about it that draws me in. I love the chemistry between the actors. I like the music and the scenes are heartfelt, but also make you laugh at times. I think the definition of a good movie is when it evokes an emotion from you then transform that emotion in a split second. I will be crying from happiness then a joke will pop up or something and in the next second I'm laughing.So I recommend anyone to rent this movie if they are looking for a perfect romantic comedy. I guess this movie is like my romantic guilty pleasure. I watch it all the time and always will.
TheLittleSongbird I was surprised at how much I liked Fools Rush In. The story is nothing special, and it may drag in spots. But I loved the beautiful cinematography and scenery, the lovely music, the funny and charming screenplay and the direction was surprisingly well handled.The acting from the two leads is excellent. Although his character is very like Chandler from Friends, in terms of the slapstick schtick and the funny lines, Matthew Perry is very effective in his role. Same with Salma Hayek, who is both beautiful and charming here, and shows good chemistry with Perry.Overall, I liked it very much and I wasn't expecting to. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Sparky-string When this film was released in 1997 it was a mere footnote and has since virtually disappeared entirely. Had it been released today in the year 2010 it may have been considered the savior of the rom-com genre. As bad as the movie is the ultimate fate of the romantic comedy was worse.The movie misses on almost every level- it was miscast, had few laughs and only paid lip service to the supposed underlying higher theme of the hand Fate has in our lives. Our female and male leads are pros and do what they can to rise above this mess but we can only expect so much. The movie has cute moments as well including a race relation analogy utilizing squirrels. Despite that and the charms of the individual leads there isn't enough chemistry present to make it work. It stays fairly true to established romcom blueprints, but the movie misses on some real opportunities like a scene featuring Matthew Perry's character finally getting the approval of the father.The real star of the movie is Las Vegas itself. Shown here is a softer, less known side of Vegas in breathtaking panoramic shots, far from the lights and showgirls, and if the film succeeds anywhere it's in it's ability to immerse and intoxicate the audience with the visuals. Against that backdrop we are treated to a glimpse of a Mexican American family that has a very genuine feel to it. If you mourn the death of the Romantic Comedy and you've exhausted the finer examples of the genre then maybe this one is worth a gamble. Oh yeah Salma Hayek is in it. =)
