Why Do Fools Fall In Love Film Synopsis

In the mid-80s, three women (each with an attorney) arrive at the office of New York entertainment manager, Morris Levy. One is an L.A. singer, formerly of the Platters; one is a petty thief from Philly; one teaches school in a small Georgia town. Each claims to be the widow of long-dead doo-wop singer-songwriter Frankie Lyman, and each wants years of royalties due to his estate, money Levy has never shared. During an ensuing civil trial, flashbacks tell the story of each one's life with Lyman, a boyish, high-pitched, dynamic performer, lost to heroin. Slowly, the three wives establish their own bond.

This movie is SO Funny! Go Watch This!!!!!Its sad this movie is so underrated but it really is worth seeing. I'm 18 years old and honestly I hadn't even heard of "Frankie Lymon" before i watched this movie, but its funny i instantly knew the song when it was played. This movie is a mixture of all things so personally i wouldn't call it just a "drama" per se as it has alot of comical moments. I found myself LOL so many times. Its a good story and its a true story so that makes it even better in my opinion. And look at the cast, that should tell you enough! You know its funny the best "black" movies were all during the 90's. Anyway... WATCH THIS MOVIE, you won't regret it!.Score: 5/5

Dansk
Tre kvinder påstår, at de alle har været gift med den berømte sanger Frankie Lymon. Nu efter hans død, mener de alle at have krav på arven efter ham. Det er ikke nogen let nød at knække for advokaten Morris Levy, der har fået samtlige hustruer som klienter. Men måske er det alligevel muligt at bevise hvem af kvinderne, der først blev gift med Frankie og hvem, der elskede ham højest.

Красива жена нахълтва в офиса на музикалния издател Морис Ливай. Тя е дошла да претендира за хонорарите, принадлежащи на съпруга - великия рок-идол от 50-те години, покойния Франки Лаймън. Но каква изненада! Друга бляскава г-жа Франки Лаймън вече е там. А ето че влиза и следващата. Явно талантливият Франки е оставил нещо повече от музика след себе си. Получава се доста забавна ситуация, когато трите съпруги започват да плетат интриги с цел да се доберат до наследството. Холи Бери, Вивика Фокс и Лела Рошон играят трите напълно различни жени, които откриват, че все пак имат нещо общо - един и същ съпруг (Ларенц Тейт). Грегъри Нава режисира
