FILM: Kristen Bell's "When in Rome"


Kristen Bell is supposed to be starring in Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Jason Segel soon, playing his object of obsession while Mila Kunis scores his heart in the end. But next year she'll be front and center playing a NYC real estate agent who has relationship issues. She goes to Rome to watch her younger sister get married. But when she stumbles upon the reputed "fountain of love" and picks up a coin, she finds a harem of men back in NYC who are chomping at the bit for just a few minutes alone with her.
I never thought of Bell as a romantic comedy kind of girl, but I get why she would veer off into that genre. She has a natural gift for comedy. Plus, it's not like people like Judd Apatow write for women, and until Tina Fey starts employing people she hasn't worked with yet, she's going to have to settle for Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider, Elektra, Grumpier Old Men) and David Diamond (The Family Man and Evolution) who aren't exactly comedy experts.
