Leave your thoughts about Fools Rush In.
| San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonPerhaps a bit miscast, and with a penchant for too many double-takes, Perry nonetheless is game. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIf you want daring or original, Fools Rush In isn't the movie to see. Like 90% of all romantic comedies, it follows a time-honored formula that allows little room for variation. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA sweet, entertaining retread of an ancient formula, in which opposites attract despite all the forces arrayed to push them apart. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA fun no-brainer that successfully casts a sweet romantic spell. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasReback's script has real substance and perception, with Alex and Isabel emerging as individuals of depth and dimension, and their story is told with humor, passion and wit. |
| About.comFred TopelNo laughs in this one at all. Who decided to write a movie about a club designer? Boring concept, no chemistry. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThough the climax of the story is a little forced and sloppy, with both lovers behaving way out of character, this movie is aware enough of the conventions it's using that it's more moving than cloying. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyIn a role that Tom Hanks might have played a decade or so ago, Perry is pretty bland and doesn't provide any hints as to why Alex is so emotionally stymied. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe 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. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe 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. |
