What a great Valentine's gift from Columbia Pictures! Matthew Perry from
TV's 'Friends' brings his Chandler Bing persona to the big screen in a cultural
clash romance. He stays in character but the real fun is added by the sparky,
gorgeous Salma Hayek. She is the Mexican bombshell who exploded with Antonio
Banderas in "Desperado" and who Quentin Tarantino swears he wants
in every film he makes, especially after the hot dance scene she performed
in "From Dusk til Dawn." He will have to stand in line. Hayek
as a photographer in "Fools Rush In" jumps into a marriage with
the uptight Perry and shakes up his world. A New Yorker and a Mexican-American
love story could make for quite an examination of our cultural stereotypes
but don't expect a lot of deep thought. "Fools" is based on the
real-life marriage of producer Doug Draizin and co-producer Anna Marie Davis,
who have since divorced which points out that loves doesn't always overcome
all obstacles. But this is a Valentine's kinda movie so just enjoy the
sparks that fly when Presbyterian boy meets Catholic girl. Rated PG-13
Columbia.
