"Fools Rush In," released in 1997 and helmed by Andy Tennant, presents a romantic comedy centered on an impulsive encounter between a man from New York (Matthew Perry) and a woman who came to the United States from Mexico (Salma Hayek). The story follows them as they discover that relationships involve more than just a spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas and an Elvis performer when faced with disagreements among their families and cultural differences. It's generally an enjoyable film geared toward female audiences, exploring dynamics between American and Latino cultures, though it adheres to familiar patterns. Some of the humor doesn’t quite land, but seems well-meaning. Matthew Perry is easy to root for as the lead male character, and Salma Hayek appears radiant; Suzanne Snyder also delivers a noteworthy performance in a supporting part. Jon Tenney shows up as the protagonist's closest friend. The scenery around Las Vegas is visually appealing. The film’s length is 1 hour and 49 minutes, and filming took place across Nevada, Arizona (including locations like Las Vegas, Henderson, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Grand Canyon), and Rancho de las Golondrinas in New Mexico, which was used to represent central Mexico. My assessment would be a B- or C+.
