When In Rome Trailer
For something that falls under the genre of a "romantic comedy," the only thing romantic about it is the Italian backdrop, but it is certainly not comedic- at all. Except maybe if you are the kind of person who laughs when you feel extremely awkward- then maybe you would find it funny. With a cast of potential, I was utterly disappointed at this lackluster excuse for a fairy tale. Kristen Bell stars as Beth, the ugly duckling who is completely consumed with her job as a curator. When she discovers that her beautiful, yet impulsive younger sister is getting married to an Italian man that she met just two weeks before, Beth has to be convinced to even go to the wedding. She obviously does, because the entire plot of the movie revolves around her being the worst maid of honor, getting frustrated about her own love life and stealing other people's coins out of a fountain. The movie had potential, the story wasn't awful (it was bad, don't get me wrong, but tolerable), except that the actors seemed completely uninterested and lame. I really wanted it to be cute, but it fell completely short and just left me feeling uncomfortable.
