Cast

Reception

The film received mostly negative reviews. In a particularly scathing review in the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert wrote:

How can I possibly describe how awful Fools is, and in how many different ways? The task approaches impossibility. The only way to fully understand how transcendently bad this movie is would be to see it for yourself — an extreme measure I hope, for your sake, you'll avoid. Let me just sort of hint at the depth of my feeling by saying Fools is the worst movie in 1971, a statement that springs forth with serene confidence even though here it is only February. Happy Valentine's Day, by the way.[4]
