Fools Rush In

2/4/2009, reviewed by Amanda Evans

One of our favorite movies as a couple, this tells the story of Alex Whitman, a night club contractor from New York, who gets a short-term job in Las Vegas. While experiencing the cuisine at a local diner, he meets Isabel Fuentes: they have a brief conversation about fate - and end up spending the night together. Three months later, he's hard at work on the night club, and she turns up to simply "inform him" that she is pregnant with his baby. This turn of events escalates as he meets her large Hispanic family and then proposes and marries her that night! As you can imagine, this rushed marriage results in plenty of surprises for the two of them - and everyone who surrounds them!

Cleverly written and delightfully acted by Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek, this movie explores the themes of commitment, faith, trust, communication...and a married couple truly falling in love with each other.
