Desert flavor and so romantic!
If you mix comedy, drama and love with two great actors and a perfect script, what you end up with is a memorable movie. This is a beautiful story, which starts off wrong. Alex Whitman (Matthew Perry) and Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek) are destined to meet and when they do, things go in a direction they never imagined.

Isabel brings the drama to this movie. Alex brings the comedy. Their families from different cultures bring in a touch of conflict. The expectations of each family are so typical and set in motion a number of unexpected twists and turns to the plot.

The music in this movie does deserve its own soundtrack. I have looked for it. Even after watching this movie for the third time, I still want a CD. The music sets the mood for the whole movie. The setting at the Hoover Dam is also spectacular as are many of the outdoor scenes in the desert.

Salma Hayek is at her best in this movie, as is Mathew Perry. There is such great chemistry. The signs all definitely point towards them being together. Unfortunately, they both have to deal with relationships they had in the past, annoying relatives and Alex's controlling boss.

This movie shows how love can conquer any situation and cross all barriers. Each time you watch this movie it will affect you differently. When you see Alex holding a baby and Isabel looking across the room at him, you can't help but become Isabel for that brief instant. Alex says so many of the right things, any woman would want to hear. Then, Alex also makes the mistake of not telling Isabel pertinent details which will affect her life, and that is the basis for most of the conflicts.

Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek were the best actors for this movie! It is so romantic, you will want to watch it once every few years. Absolutely a worthwhile investment to purchase the video or DVD. Now, if anyone can find a soundtrack CD, let us all know!!!

Fools Rush In
One of my favorite alltime movies. One of the most underated movies I have seen - I think Roger Ebert got this one right, while most other reviewers were off the mark. As a WASP from the East who met and married a Hispanic Catholic from West Texas-also under trying and challenging circumstances- this movie really hit home. Some of the cultural aspects of the movie were a little exaggerated, while others were right on the money. As a guy who typically enjoys movies like Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, and Platoon, I would still recommend this "chick flick" to anyone. The soundtrack and scenery alone (especially if you love the American West) make this movie worth watching, even if you don't like the genre. My wife and I will probably watch this on our 25th wedding anniversary.

Excellent music, great cast, moving romance.
An excellent sound track and strong supporting cast highlight this moving romance. 'Fools Rush In' begins pleasantly enough as fate brings together Latina photographer Isabelle (Salma Hayek) and Ivy League New Yorker Alex (Matthew Perry) to a Las Vegas wedding chapel ceremony. The story quickly darkens as career conflict and disapproval by friends and family cause the newly-weds to doubt one another and finally separate. Especially interesting is the positive way Mexican-American culture is portrayed not only by the wonderfully honest and forthright Isabelle but also her parents, brothers, and ex-boyfriend. I've replayed this movie more times than Titanic. Is this a romantic comedy or drama? You decide. END
