Why Do Fools Fall in Love?
Why Do Fools Fall in Love? ★★ 1998 (R)
Frankie Lymon was a teen do-wop singing sensation in the mid-'50s but a career slide led to heroin addiction and an OD death at the age of 25 in 1968. The other thing Frankie liked to do was marry—without bothering to get divorced. So there are three would-be widows battling for what's left of Lymon's estate: R&B singer Zola Taylor (Berry), goodtime girl and single mom Elizabeth Waters (Fox), and churchgoing schoolteacher Emira Eagle (Rochon). The ladies pull out of the stops but Lymon remains a mystery. 115m/C VHS, DVD . Larenz Tate, Halle Berry, Lela Rochon, Vivica A.
