Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

A sweet, entertaining retread of an ancient formula, in which opposites attract despite all the forces arrayed to push them apart. Read full review

G. Allen Johnson

Perhaps a bit miscast, and with a penchant for too many double-takes, Perry nonetheless is game. Read full review

Mike Clark

Hurried, harried. [14 February 1997, pg.D4]

Lisa Schwarzbaum

The result is a stilted culture clash and a lot of monochromatically conflicted facial expressions from Perry before he's thawed by the love of an ethnic woman. Read full review

Keith Phipps

The best that can be said is that neither Matthew Perry nor Salma Hayek embarrass themselves, but they're both appealing enough that the same could probably be said if they were starring in a commercial for a hair-replacement system. Read full review

Rita Kempley

Movies don't come much lamer than Fools Rush In. Read full review

Dallas Observer Andy Klein

This really should have gone straight to video--or, better yet, to the nearest landfill. Read full review

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, obviously more than most people. Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry lift this well above the ordinary romantic comedy. Although the story is pretty routine, it does have the unique twist of the clashing cultures that spark a more interesting story.
