Rated PG-13
Starring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Anjelica Huston, Will Arnett, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard, Alexis Dziena, Danny DeVito
Directed by Mark Johnson
The Story:
Beth (Bell) attends the wedding of her sister (Dziena) in Rome. She takes some coins from The Fountain of Love which causes the men (Arnett, Heder, Shepard, DeVito) who threw those coins into the fountain to fall madly in love with her. Can she balance her career with the affections of these men as she tries to figure out a way to break the spell, and maybe realize that the one guy not under a spell (Duhamel) could be her Mr. Right?
This is a fun little romantic comedy that is light, breezy and easy to enjoy at any time.
I've seen it a few times, and it's one that even the kids enjoy watching when it's on.
Bell gets to play the leading lady, and has a fun time playing the romantic, harried lead against a host of different leading men.
Arnett, Heder and Shepard bring different levels of zaniness to their roles giving Bell the hardest time trying to brush them off.
DeVito brings a level of humanity and sadness to his part.
At the end of the day though, it's Duhamel who grounds the movie as the potential suitor who gets overlooked too often.
Mr. Right is often there, people are often just too busy with their lives to notice.
Final Grade: B+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I own it, and it gets watched every so often. Always a fun time.
