"When In Rome": Another Cute Chick Flick

Haha, yes, you read it right. The first movie to be reviewed is the newly-released romantic comedy, "When In Rome". You've probably heard of it by now. Anyway, I saw it tonight and it was actually really cute, like most chick flicks, but it wasn't cliched [ergh, spelling error, I don't know how to put that stupid accent mark], like boy meets girl, both fall in love, they have a problem, but they end up back together. This was more, girl meets boy at wedding, she makes a huge mistake, but they fall in love anyway.

Summary:
Beth, played by Kristen Bell, is a curator, and a really good one too. Her sister comes in town to tell her that she is getting married, but Beth, as far as we know, usually never does. When she comes to the wedding in Italy, she meets Nick, played by Josh Duhamel. They're so much alike, it's almost scary. They have a connection, until she decides to go outside to find him with another woman. She gets drunk, and takes a few coins out of the Fountain of Love, meaning that whoever has the coin will fall in love with her. The guys who fall in love with her are played by Danny DeVito, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, and Dax Shepard. After that, she's always trying to avoid them, because they're the closest things to stalkers. She and Nick fall for each other, after explaining the situation at the fountain. She then sees his chips, and thinks he's under the spell. After losing the chips, and giving them back to undo the spell, she and Nick do fall in love...again, and I guess you'll just have to see the movie if you want to know what happens at the end. [I left a few big/minor parts out of the movie, because I want you guys to go see it, because these aren't cliffnotes. Haha.]

So, yup, I watched this with my family and if you're a woman, you'll adore this movie, and if you're a guy, you'll like it, too! It's most definitely on the worth watching list, so go see it! Well, I must go and finish my homework.
