Fools Rush In Reviews
Esses é daqueles filmes para você assistir e esquecer dos seus problemas. A História é bonitinha, as piadas são ok. Matthew Perry está ótimo nesse filme, e muito bonito. A química com salma hayek é ótima. Vale a pena assistir
The critics are once again idiots Salma Hayek is a goddess in this movie
More than just your basic romantic comedy. Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry bring true soul to this movie. It portrays Salma's characters' Hispanic culture in an authentic and respectful manner. It's heartwarming without being too cheesy and fake felt. I usually can't stomach most romantic comedies but this one was trully special. P.S. watched it for the first time in 2024.
Comedia romántica de mis favoritas
One of my absolute favourite rom-coms. Perry and Hayek have serious chemistry, and the story is sweet, gentle and romantic without being mushy or too silly with the comedic elements. They're both utterly convincing in their roles as emotionally distant WASP Alex and free-spirited but family-oriented Isabel. I don't know how anyone could dislike this film, it's so satisfying.
I watched this because I'm a Salma Hayek fan, not so much Matthew Perry. There was nothing objectionable about it. The characters were likeable enough. Pretty standard RomCom affair. The script was a little weak.
Great rom com. Easy watching Sunday afternoon movie that will make you laugh the whole way through
Released in 1997, the Elvis song-titled Fools Rush In was a romantic comedy starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek as two people who spend the night together once in Las Vegas only to find, months later, that they are about to welcome a child prompting both of them to make some snappy and rather big decisions. The casting of Matthew Perry in the lead role here, and the actor's reluctance to go too far beyond his popular Chandler persona is no accident as the film was released at the peak of Friends-mania. He plays schmucky architect Alex Whitman who is tasked with building a club in Las Vegas which, if the project is successful, might just prove to be the key to getting the big promotion he's been waiting for. He soon finds himself having a one night stand with photographer Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek) who disappears the next morning. Some time later, Isabel returns to announce that she is pregnant with his child and the new couple's wild adventure begins. Along the way, Alex clashes with Isabel's family due to cultural differences (their speedy Vegas wedding doesn't help much) and they eventually find their own relationship to be a challenge, one they'll have to resolve soon one way or another as the baby is still on the way. Individually, these two main characters are endearing in their own way, but also quite infuriating so the fact that the leads make them as likable as they are is an achievement in itself but together, the chemistry isn't always there making Hayek and Perry feel like they're acting in completely different movies. Perry delivers a somewhat more restrained Chandler performance while Hayek's down-to-Earth approach somehow comes off as forced. This is a very simple story told with few surprises in the horizon making for a thoroughly predictable and rather flat experience. There are amusing, even sweet moments here and there but Fools Rush In just needed more laughs, secondary characters that stand out and, ultimately, sharper writing. A rom-com like, say, Along Came Polly worked not because the two leads had vastly different personalities but because everything around them was so entertaining from their off-beat friends to the random situations they found themselves in that you were eager to see these two mismatched individuals tackle these challenges together. Here, you're made to feel like a parent shaking their head slightly at your kids' silly behavior when you should be feeling, well, entertained. This being a movie and all. While this review may sound harsh, Fools Rush In is pretty harmless as far as rom-coms go. It fails to get laughs, or tears, but you won't have too bad a time sitting through it, especially if you're a Friends fan. It's just a little too shallow and unimaginative as a movie to really grab your attention, which is a shame considering the talented cast. Forgettable.
Aged liked fine wine. Such an amazing love story!
It's basically 105 minutes of Chandler and Salma. lol
No chemistry whatsoever between the leads.
Matthew Perry makes it incredibly funny, but the romance story did not get to me. When Alex met Isabela, their feelings were palpable. The rest of the movie seemed to be only going back and forth between drama and reconciliation.
I never heard of an architect that only builds night clubs and only night clubs. Seems like a very limited business model. Since night clubs go in and out of fashion as the years go by. Second, this is another case of all the funny scenes are all in the trailer. To make you think it's a funny comedy when it's only a tiny part of the movie. While the rest is nothing but melodrama. It's not unforgivably bad but it's not remotely good either. It's just meh.
I loved this movie, it was sincere, funny and sweet. Matthew Perry and Salma Hayak had great chemistry. It's so fun.
One of my all-time favorites! Just read about it allegedly "ruining Matthew Perry's career" and could not disagree more!! He and Selma Hyak had great chemistry! My family and I have forever quoted this movie! Whoever didn't enjiy it just doesn't like romcoms!
This movie is criminally underrated! It is funny and it has heart. Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek are great together in it.
Charming, beautiful, and funny. I enjoyed the chemistry between Perry and Hayek. Call me a sucker for a solid romantic comedy, and yeah, maybe I loved it because I'm also a Latina in love with 90s Matthew Perry.
