When In Rome

On Tuesday, February 9, 2010, I went to see the movie When In Rome, featuring Kirsten Bell and Josh Duhamel.

The premise of the movie is that Kirsten Bell's character, Beth, discovers that her former boyfriend has found someone and is getting engaged... She has always been unlucky in love, but always concentrated on her job.

She discovers that her younger sister has met this Italian guy, Umberto, and that they were getting married. She goes to Rome to attend her wedding, but has a serious series of events... But also meets Umberto's best man, Nick (played by Duhamel).

Beth thought that she was really hitting it off well with Nick, so she wanted to toast him. However, she sees him kissing another lady and gets upset so she ends up drinking a lot of alcohol outside in the Fontana d'amore. She also starts blurting out about how love doesn't exist, etc., and takes five coins from the fountain.

What follows it the hilarious tale of men pursuing Beth. When one takes a coin from the fountain, the owner of the coin is supposedly going to fall in love with the person who takes the coin.

Nick is also on the pursuit of Beth, but we also learn that Nick is a poker player, and that the types of chips that he uses matches the one she pulled from the fountain. So, was Nick for real?

You'll have to watch the movie to find out. It was a nice and fun movie.
