Fools Rush In (1997)
5/10
An enjoyable rom-com centering on opposites attracts who have to accept cultural differences in their relationship

A fun, mildly enjoyable '90s rom-com with the two leads (Matthew Perry, Salma Hayek) having good chemistry, which ultimately makes up for some cliché plot devices. I like that the setting takes place in Las Vegas and that a big part of the story is learning to accept each other's cultural differences in a romantic relationship. The film has a lot of classic music to flow the story along and the film is evenly paced.

The lack of communication drives a big wedge in Alex and Isabel's relationship, cut to cue the two-romantic-characters-taking-a-break-for-a-bit-before-getting-back-together scenes. I thought it was kind of inconsistent character development to have Alex believe Isabel when she said she was lying about being pregnant the whole time or about having a miscarriage.

If you can overlook typical rom-com cliché plot devices, this is a good '90s rom-com to watch.
