The movie stars Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel. Kristen has a impeccable sense of comedic timing. I haven't ever seen Veronica Mars but it is on my list of shows to watch now because of her. Josh Duhamel is not know for his comedic abilities, he has starred more in action style shows and movies. He does a heck of a job in this film though. Kristen plays Beth a curator of the Guggenheim. She loves her job, she is not married nor in a serious relationship. She says that when she finds someone that she loves more than her job she will settle down. Josh plays Nick a former pro-football player who is now a sports photographer.
The two meet at a wedding in Rome. They bond over their shared horror at the bride and groom's impetuousness. A misconception leads Beth to become frustrated with love. She climbs into the fountain of love, conveniently located right outside the reception hall, and pulls out some coins. When she returns to New York she finds that several men have fallen head over heels in love with her. Her paramores are played by Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Dax Shephard and John Heder (Napoleon's Dynamite). These gentlemen are hilarious.
I won't go as far as to call this movie a great movie. It was entertaining. I was funny. The ending is predictable, but enjoyable. If you like romantic comedies, you will like this one. Light and frothy, with some beautiful scenes of Italy thrown in. Rent it for a ladies night, and enjoy the eye candy that is Josh Duhamel.
