It's really hard to find an enjoyable, romantic movie these days without at least 10 dirty scenes. Fools Rush was one of the best movies I've seen and it didn't even have to have bad scenes. Plus, there was a very... Full review

Critics Reviews
| Feb 14, 1997Los Angeles Times
Fools Rush In," a film as good-looking and engaging as its stars, invites us to consider how well many people really know each other when they get married--and how crucial trust and candor are at any stage of any relationship.
Fools Rush In," which dares to take the time needed to set up its story properly, accrues substance and edge with the interplay of the cultures represented by Alex's WASP background and Isabel's proud Mexican American heritage.

Pretty and earthy, she can be aggressive or retreat believably, and has some nice scenes with her extended family.
Director Andy Tennant keeps the pace moving and shows admirable restraint.
it is a sweet if predictable love story for Valentine's Day

If you like charming little romantic comedies, FOOLS RUSH IN ($30) is a film you are certain to enjoy.
Perry is Alex Whitman; an uptight New York executive assigned to open a new club for his company in Las Vegas.

Chicago Sun-Times
Fools Rush In'' is a sweet, entertaining retread of an ancient formula, in which opposites attract despite all the forces arrayed to push them apart.
Her mother is played by Anne Betancourt with a combination of great romance and pragmatism (yes, she agrees, her daughter wants to stay in Vegas near her family--``but your husband has a family to support'').

TotalFilm
The film is too good-natured to be really hated
Andy Tennant and scripter Katherine Reback make references to the sitcom but, like most of this pointless, hollow comedy, they miss.
More bewildering is the lack of chemistry between Perry and Hayek.
