This is an older video we borrowed from the library, starring Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry. I was attracted to it because of Salma Hayek. She became famous in her recent role as Frida Kaholo in the film Frida (a ***** film for sure.) I've seen her in two of her other films as well: In the Time of the Butterflies, and Living It Up. I've enjoyed her very much in all these.
It probably adds to my enjoyment that she often reminds me of my middle granddaughter, Stephanie Witham-Juarez. They both show that flash of spirit in both humor and anger. It's eye opening and attractive.
Fools Rush In is a romantic comedy about a Mexican-American woman and a corporate type gringo guy. Mix in the Mexican family and the WASP family and you've got a good story. It's acted well. I have to say that there's nothing unforgettable about it. It's not Moonstruck. But it's ten times better than a lot of the videos available. I'd give it three stars. ***
Note: Since reviews are new to me, I reserve the right to come back and edit my ratings after some more experience with the star system.
