Critic Reviews for Why Do Fools Fall In Love
All Critics (54) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (29) | Rotten (25)
Too ill defined to emerge from the pack of box office also-rans.
A celebration of pop fantasies, a boyish rascal with a helium voice, and three pretty fools who fell in love with him.
A fresh, enlightening example of how to take a tragic American show-business story and make it funny, warm and terrifically entertaining.
Though Nava's soapy directing style makes Fools watchable enough in a campy way, the film's unsophisticated nature undermines its better qualities.
What made Frankie run? The movie clearly doesn't know.
We get no discernible Frankie at all!
Audience Reviews for Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Based on a true story: Frankie Lyman (Why do fools fall in love).
Super Reviewer
Loved it!!

The first hour or so ranks as favorite movie material. It's enormously entertaining and a fresh spin on standard biopic: Diana Ross's cover of Why Do Fools Fall in Love spawns a court case where three women claim the rights to the song as Frankie Liman's wife. My favorite sequence is an infectious Larenz Tate singing (well, lip synching) to Goodie Goodie! But the movie sort of falls apart at the end. Oh, well. Focus on the positive!
