It’s been ages since I’ve last watched Fools Rush In and I suppose the reason why I sat down to watch this was because it was about to be taken off Prime Video. This isn’t the best of romantic movie, it’s actually a little cliched. But don’t let that stop especially if your looking for something that isn’t a Christmas movie in the month of December. As charming he was with his performance I’m  not sure if Matthew Perry had the makings of good romantic lead. I think he did show signs of being a credible romantic lead until the release of Three to Tango in 1999. Compared to Perry Salma Hayek’s role seemed to be right within her wheelhouse. Even with how unsure i was of Perry’s ability as a romantic lead I loved the heliport scene in the third act and the scene where his character (Alex) met the Great Grandma played by Angelina Torres.

For those who might be interested Fools Rush In was shot on the filming break between the second and third seasons of “Friends”. Fools Rush In was released to theaters in America during the third season of “Friends” the week that the 15th episode aired (“The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break”) February 14 1997.
