The late Matthew Perry had fond memories while working on Fools Rush In, a sweet, underrated ‘90s rom-com.
The Big Picture Friends was airing its third season in 1997, and the sitcom’s popularity was as strong as ever. The episodes were pulling out the talents of the ensemble, especially Matthew Perry as Chandler. Around this time, the height of the actor’s fame, there were acting opportunities coming Perry’s way, with another project that highlighted his talents.
Matthew Perry Remembered His Best Role in His Memoir On Fools Rush In, he wrote about how he felt it “is probably my best movie” and how director Andy Tennant helped the late actor give “one of the best performances of my career.” While there are the familiar quirks and mannerisms in how Perry plays Alex that can remind viewers of Chandler Bing , Perry dials down the kind of performance he would do for a live audience.
He wants to help Isabel in any way he can — she chooses this should be to meet her family, just once for them to know who the father is. So on the same day Isabel tells him she’s pregnant, they head over to have dinner with her family. There, Alex meets Isabel’s ex, Chuy , and he can’t help himself but say, “Chuy, hi. I’m Luke Skywalker.” The absence of a live audience’s giggling makes the uncomfortable silence that follows that much funnier. If a cricket was chirping, it would be deafening.
Fools Rush In has music by Elvis on the soundtrack and an Elvis impersonator at the wedding chapel, capturing the idyllic romanticism of the singer and his music. There is plenty of melodrama in how Alex and Isabel slip into arguing, although it stays grounded thanks to the leading stars. Alex feels stuck between wanting to succeed in work and build a life with Isabel.
