Matthew Perry does a great job playing a "Chandler-like" character in this film. Selma Hayek is believable in the movie. Perry's and Hayek's on-screen chemistry work well together in this romantic comedy that has a touch of drama in it.
Matthew Perry is a young man that has been on the "upperwardly mobile" career path without strings or attachments. Perry discovers that what he thought was most important to him - isn't that important after all is said and done.
The cultural differences of Perry and Hayek are illustrated very well in several different scenes. The scene where the couple's parents meet, sharply illustrated their differences and at the same time showed that they had things in common also.
The film work and the colors are beautiful and rich.
I have watched the movie twice, and it was as entertaining and touching the second time as it was the first.

Very Cute!
I Love Fools Rush In
This movie is so clearly not bad. Fools Rush In is one of the better romantic comedies, that's a little known fact. It has really sharp editing, fine directing, good cinematography, really good acting and really good writing. Fools Rush In's editing and story presentation is particularly very strong. Fools Rush In has very rich colors. The writing is natural, genuine. It's really funny, but Fools Rush In is more so good than funny, which is much more of an accomplishment.
This movie is all about Alex Whitman and Isabel Fuentes. Matthew Perry is in his best role. Perry's very well-cast and there aren't many actors out of anybody better for the part. He's good for the character and is very lovable. Perry poses as the main star but he's just for show. This is quietly though obviously Salma Hayek's film. She is perfect for the part, perfect. Salma Hayek gives you real heart acting very womanly and comes across as all too sweet. Fools Rush In is a very sweet romantic comedy. It's an easy film to enjoy. I am particularly very fond of Fools Rush In.
Wise men say.....
Matthew Perry's films haven't been great successes but for what its worth I think that this is one of his best.
Although we see many of the elements of his character from the hit show "Friends" this is what we love to see from Perry and he plays it to perfection. He has good chemistry with Hayek and the overall plot of this film is strong. It has elements of comedy and also a lot of drama which is unusual for a romantic comedy.
This element means that Perry is allowed to play some scenes with depth and we see that he is also a fine dramatic actor.
Overall although this film was not overly well reviewed and hasn't made much of an impression on the world it is well worth seeking out as it is a good film and showcases the talent of Perry perfectly.
