John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

A sincere, half-cute love story weighted down by narrative contrivances.

Movies with Mae

Director and writer Benjamin Meyer has the right idea, but "Fools" isn't dynamic enough to portray all its various themes in a way that strikes a chord with the audience.

Rated: 2.5/5

Elias Savada

Film International

Fools feels like an unhinged romantic comedy that forgot to take its meds. It's rough and raw, with comedy of a regretful-after-sex variety. Lots of emotional eggshells for the two fragile souls to be fearful of breaking.

Rated: 3.5/5

Laramie Movie Scope

This is an odd, uneven, and at times opaque romantic comedy. I did like the two main characters, however, and I was pulling for them to end up together.

Rated: C+
