Kristen Bell in 'When in Rome' Trailer

DateSaturday, August 15, 2009 at 5:57PM
I wouldn't have thought it five years ago, but now I think Kristen Bell could have a pretty good run in screwball comedies. Unfortunately, I don't think that's what When in Rome is at its core. Instead, the new trailer makes it look like a standard romantic comedy: Two likable leads, a couple keystone scenes sure to generate a few laughs, and a payoff you can see a mile away.

I'm thinking that big scene is the wedding reception where Bell meets Josh Duhamel for the first time. She thinks he's quite a catch (and vice versa), but she picked up some coins in a Roman fountain that apparently makes the original wishers fall madly and magically in love with her, so she can't be sure if he's the real deal.

Yep, that's a bad premise, all right, but at least it has Will Arnett and Danny DeVito.

What's up with the soundtrack whoring going on at the end the trailer? Have you ever seen it done to that degree before? When in Rome opens on January 29th; is anyone else slightly concerned that this has the same director as Daredevil and Ghost Rider?
