Since this is all about movies that have some influence of the boarder, I intend on keeping things light. Because after all, movies are supposed to be entertaining! This past weekend I was scanning through the TV channels and I stumbled upon the romantic-comedy "Fools Rush In". This movie happened to be quite entertaining and also had an ongoing theme of cultural diversity.
Alex Whitman (Matthew Perry), a Manhattan native, and successful - yet some may say, "unexciting" - builder of nightclubs, is located to Las Vegas to oversee the construction of another nightclub. One evening he finds himself at Caesars, running into a beautiful Mexican-American woman who believes in fate. She says, “There is a reason behind all logic to bring us the exact same time and place”. However, neither one believes in one-night-stands – with exception of that night. Alex doesn't hears from her until three months later.
Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek) returns to Alex’s home in Las Vegas, pregnant. Isabel is from a strong Catholic family where she believes that she and Alex should be married before the baby is born. Alex on the other hand, is Protestant and happens to fear marriage like the plague. They wind up married on the Vegas strip – as an Elvis impersonator as their witness – and cultures begin to collide. Religion is the main road block throughout the movie, not only between Isabel and Alex, but between their families as well. Their parents are sure to have their say about their children’s relationship, and disagree on everything but their shared dislike of the marriage.
“Fools Rush In” tends to be the cheesy-romance that will still keep your attention. Observing the natural human response to all these twists is sure to generate some wacky comedy. As the movie plays out, we see that even with all these cultural differences, there are the same underlying values between the couple and their families. Overall, I think this movie is fun, light-hearted and entertaining.
Personal Rating: 3 out of 5
