PennsyDeux Checks Out The Irresistible Kristen Bell's First Star Vehicle, WHEN IN ROME!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Beaks here...
After falling for Kristen Bell in Rob Thomas's tragically short-lived VERONICA MARS, I'm pretty sure I could watch her in damn near anything: she's a natural charmer who can bat around the badinage with the best of 'em. As for whether she can elevate a romantic comedy from the writers of OLD DOGS and the director of GHOST RIDER... evidently, the girl likes a challenge.
Here's an early, in-depth review from reader PennsyDeux...
Hello folks; PennsyDeux here, and When in Rome, unexpectedly, is really about lightning. Whether you get tagged (literally) once or (figuratively) many times over, things change, and can shape someoneís future, if you let it.
Iíve rarely been so conflicted over a movieís quality than after I finished seeing a test screening of the romantic comedy (fantasy?) on the University of Pennsylvania campus, at the Zellerbach Theatre. Touchstone Pictures set aside mid-November for showings of the film at colleges across the country. It showed a confidence they didnít have originally when Rome's release date was postponed from August 7 until January 29, 2010. It was technically for students and faculty only, but realistically, if you printed out a pass from the movieís screenings website, you could go and watch it, which is how I got in. There were about a hundred others there, evenly split between men and women, in a place where a motion picture, we were told, hadnít been shown in a year and a half.
Beth Harper (Kristen Bell) is a successful art curator who puts on killer exhibits at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. During one of them, sheís happened upon by her latest ex-boyfriend (Pushing Daisies alumni Lee Pace) who drops a bomb: he's found a woman who works as hard as Beth does, but she doesnít have her issues, and they're getting engaged. Beth's friends listening nearby mistakenly think he proposed to her and stop the party to announce it; awkwardness ensues. Embarrassed, she gets home and her sister Joan is waiting with news of her own. Taking a page out of the Khloe Kardashian-Lamar Odom playbook, she tells Beth sheís getting married to an Italian tour guide after a marathon courtship of....2 weeks. She invites her to Rome for the ceremony, but Beth has to deal with Celeste, her boss (Anjelica Huston) who presses her to deliver a great exhibit for their biggest fundraiser of the year which is coming up.
Off to Italy, then, where she runs into the groomís best man, former NFL star turned sportswriter Nick Beamon (Josh Duhamel), whose career was cut short after being struck by lightning in the middle of a game. They begin to hit it off until two events during the reception turn it upside down. Beth is unable, no matter how much she tries, to shatter a vase which tradition dictates how many pieces it breaks into determines the number of years Joan and Umbertoís marriage will last. Later, Nick dances a bit too close to a waiter and kicks a tray full of drinks straight at a surge protector, shorting it and plunging the ceremony into darkness. For Beth, the combination of that, plus her younger sister finding love so quickly when sheís lonely still, leads her to ease out of the ceremony and into a piazza, chugging champagne as if it were spring water. She finds Nick out there as well, comforting an Italian woman, kissing her. Strike three. A devastated, drunk Beth wanders into a fountain where coins are strewn all over. She plucks five of them out of the water before being chased away by the police.
Back in New York, Beth returns to her job and normal life. A weekend jog through Central Park is uneventful until she meets, in succession, Antonio, a sketch artist (Will Arnett); Lance, a street magician (a nearly unrecognizable Jon Heder) who keeps swiping her watch; Gale, a self-absorbed model (Bell's real-life boyfriend Dax Shepard) and later, at her workplace, a potential client and sausage tycoon (Danny DeVito; yes, you read that right) with one common theme; they were in Italy by chance at the same time she was, all claiming she "stole his heart". It soon dawns on Beth something surreal is happening, which a call from the newlyweds fills in the blanks.
The coins she stole were from a place the locals swear is a ëfountain of loveí, the ones these guys tossed them into, and now they're pursuing her - including Nick, who desperately tries to explain his own fountain fling. Soon, they pop up everywhere; at a building where one of them is creating a 3-story mural of her, at a restaurant ñ even her apartment. This turn of events only deepens Beth's cynicism when it comes to love. Frantic, with her companyís flagship presentation at hand, Beth asks Joan and her husband for help. They lay out how she can end the craziness. She needs to return the coins to each man who tossed them in the fountain. Then, one by one, the spell will be broken. This way, Beth will find out who the poseurs are, and who might be The One. Nick, after explaining away his kissing cousin (of the groom) in the fountain, slowly takes the lead in the race for Bethís heart as they begin to reconnect in a plausible, nice way. It's unfortunate that the otherwise OK script by writers David Diamond and David Weissman (who I didn't know until I was about to send this were the writing team behind Old Dogs) didnít give the other 4 coin-throwers more to do (with a couple exceptions) than to be giant pains in Beth's ass.
With romantic comedies these decades, without giving anything away, I've come to realize the journey is just as important, maybe more, than the destination. And under director Mark Steven Johnson, the road he takes is quite the pothole-a-palooza. He was a curious choice to begin with, as moviegoers didnít care much for how he handled Daredevil. It's his first romantic comedy, and boy, does it show; when Johnson got it right, mostly in WIR's lively first half, he proves the skeptics wrong. When it goes south, specifically as Beth and Nick have a date in a restaurant that eerily foreshadows ABCís execrable reality show "Dating in the Dark" (the movie was filmed in spring 2008, a full year and change beforehand) which gets crashed by her pursuers, it's Razzie-worthy. There are a few too many abrupt shifts between outlandish laughs and serious drama (Nickís steadfast belief that Beth and he have a future, even as a sportswriter buddy of his shows him proof heís not alone in his quest for her). There are *two* homages to the final 15 minutes of Notting Hill as lightning plays a role in the movieís endgame and an ending that is a mini-Return of the King in how itís somewhat drawn out. Still, the moment that the journey becomes the destination is well-earned, though, and not the way youíd expect it to go down. If they can trim the movie by 10 minutes or so, Touchstone will do itself a huge favor. And send out a second trailer, because the first one promoted songs from Jason Mraz and Katy Perry almost as much as the movie itself. Bad idea.
All is not lost, though, thanks to the yeoman, above and beyond the call work of its lead actors. Duhamel is refreshingly believable as Nick. He conveys the pain of leaving his football career behind, his desire for Beth to be near him, his fear of losing her for good. He can also do physical comedy, which I didn't think he had in him. He's come a long way from the NBC series Las Vegas, and proves himself a quality leading man, which Transformers did not allow him to display. It was good enough for other studios to cast him as the male lead in The Romantics (with Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin and Malin Akerman), plus Life As We Know It, co-starring Katherine Heigl, both romantic comedies which will come out in late 2010.
Bell is Bell, which means sheís compelling every time she's on camera. Her Beth Harper, who put her career first, paid a deep price. You wonder how someone of her off-the-chain beauty canít keep a guy, but she pulls it off rather easily. Of particular specialness is a scene with Nick at the Guggenheim in mid-film. Sheís showing him a painting from Picassoís Vollard Suite period, where Beth tells him of the troubled life of Marie-Therese Walter. One of his many mistresses, her tragic end, as she loved him so, only to have been cheated on which led to her suicide by hanging, had a profound impact on Beth - for the worse. The despair Bell shows is heartbreaking and anyone who feels they've had a dark cloud follow them when it comes to being unlucky in love WILL relate to Beth's grief. Itís a flashpoint for an actress whose star is in the ascendancy, even if When in Rome bombs. I dare you to not be moved by it. That said, it's not quite as good as Kristen's breakthrough in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but she alone is still worth the price of admission.
As for the quartet who chases Beth halfway around the world, Heder and (surprisingly) DeVito fare best. The cameos are quite eclectic; Peggy Lipton and an uncredited Don Johnson as Bethís divorced parents, the Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah as the house DJ for the Guggenheim art exhibits, for starters.
It was a test screening, and feedback was encouraged, so this may not be the final version we see. Hopefully the studio will take the criticisms that will come their way, and re-edit the movie to address as much of the fans' concerns as humanly able. It's still a long way until January 29, the month where certain movies go to die. I hope that will not be When in Romeís fate. It is a good comedy, with its lead actors coming to the rescue of its uneven direction.
Re-edit? No. They should just start from scratch and reshoot with Ghostface in Duhamel's role, and the rest of the Wu as the suitors. That's how Lubitsch would do it.

is she that girl that's been on Craig Ferguson a lot?
-
...Miss Bell, if by some accident your read this, please don't feel self conscious about it....it works for you. I'm just saying it's statistically unusual.
-
She made the character Cora much more appealing than the "tuff girl" stereotype Cora could have been. Kudos to her. Hope this new movie gives her great success.

AICN's Biggest K-Bell fan gets to review her movie! Ha!
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
Now we need an AVATAR review by "Fucking your eyeballs out" guy!
-
soon we'll be able to just go "twentyten" or "twenty-whatever" as opposed to the 4 and 5 syllable "twothousand and whatever's" like the past 10 years. my tongue hurts.
-
...a small town I worked in for a while had a guy who had been struck by lightning. His name was Bobby Giro, but everyone called him Bobby Zero.He wandered all over town day and night...if you stopped to talk to him he'd say "...did...did...you hear?...did you hear?...I was...st...str...struck by lighting! B...But...I'm...all better now".He would say this every time you met him, whether he knew you or not.True story.If this turns up in a movie or screenplay as a bit of local color I better get fucking credit.
-
Nobody writes that much of an in depth review for a screener. Who could remember all the details like that. The review is written like the script.
-
and remember, if lightning does strike the same place twice, it's aliens trying to jump start some vehicles they buried here many many years ago.
-
This movie could be the Bell end.
-
Doooit.
-
Because if you haven't yet seen The Great Outdoors, you should. "Six-six-six-six-six-SIX-SIX-SIX-SIXTY-SIX TIMES! In-n-n-n-n-n-N-N-N-N-N-THE HEAD!" And Pennsy might be many things, but he's not a plant. You can't buy that kind of love for Bell. Grats on the article, Pennsy!
-
Pennsy (PennsyDeux) is Kristen Bell's #1 fan. Depending on how you look at it, it borders on creepy. He knows everything about her. He's also a very nice talkbacker on here, and I'm glad he made it in the spotlight with this review.
Just remember that when reading his article or anything he writes about Kristen Bell. -
...he always wore a stocking cap. Haven't seen THE GREAT OUTDOORS...they ripped off Bobby Zero you say?...because I'm
sure Bobby could use the royalty check... -
Bell makes me hard and Arnett makes me laugh...win, win.
-
Come on, Massa, we know its really you.
-
Dec 18, 2009 2:17:15 PM CST
So basically she is taking a page out the Gellar handbook...
by mr. profit
And making her "Simply Irresistible" before she finally breaks with a big solo hit like "The Grudge"... Bell is great though. I liked every season of Veronica Mars, including the final season which many hated. I hope she finds something that helps her career finally take off.

What worries me is the decision to push 'Rome' to January.
by pennsydeux
They did a fair amount of reshoots this April from what I heard in NYC.
STLost, I don't know everything about her. Not creepy. That's the LAST thing I want. I'm just someone who had blind luck on his side when all I wanted to do was be the high bidder for a few hours on attending the Forgetting Sarah Marshall world premiere last year. 33 hours after my bid, I was scrambling for airfare and hotel reservations. MySpace has some When in Rome behind the scenes stuff they filmed, with some outtakes that were pretty LMAO. Google it and see if you agree. -
for responding, good and ill. I'm lax taking care of poinsettia plants in work, so I epic fail in plant-dom. :)
-
You are AICN's resident "Kristen Bell-ophile." No harm in that.
-
...but in a romantic way
-
this is strictly chick-flick all the way.
-
w/Craig Ferguson joke ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsDudqTMJ5Q
-
...you should see TGO then, because not only is it one of the good family-type 80's comedies (John Candy FTW), but I think they really did rip-off your friend. Just wait for the scene in the bar with Gary's dad from Weird Science. From your description it's an eerie coincidence to say the least. -
...I feel like I've seen the John Candy movie...but can't remember anything about it (and I think I'd remember), so maybe not.I was in the same town as Bobby Zero in the early 90's...I'm assuming that's after the movie in question...could Bobby have been ripping off a character from THE GREAT OUTDOORS? I didn't witness the lighting strike myself, but he was definitely simple...Maybe he was simple LIKE A FOX? Bobby Zero wandered around town day and night mumbling lines from THE GREAT OUTDOORS? I would have picked PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES myself...
-
hahahahahahahahahahaha! oh man I just shit my pants
-
Totally happy for you & I liked your review:)
-
Not great. I noticed Heder right away... Arnett I didn't recognize until the end. I had fun filling out that comment card.
-
I feel like it is a monster movie.
-
Kristen Bell is not that attractive. She's a tiny little person with no breasts that could easily pass for a high school student. I know that a lot of the pervs on here get off to Hannah Montana and reruns of Full House but, all I see is a little kid. I prefer women.
-
Anytime, anywhere. An intelliegnt whip-smart cutie. Love her!
-
Intelligent.

MSJ directed Ghost Rider? Brain fart on my part. Re: Fiester...
by pennsydeux
Didn't realize that. Fiester, she's filming 'Burlesque' right now; she plays the lead singer of a LA cabaret who pretty much goes off the deep end when her position is challenged by a new prospect (Christina Aguilera's acting debut). Which means we get to hear her sing, probably. First time since Reefer Madness: The Musical on Showtime a few years back.
-
I'm in Hawaii on vacation currently. it is 82 degrees, but now all I can think about is Kristen Bell's hot ass in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. oh, if her sarong is wrong, I don't want to be saright!
-
Woot! :0 The sky's about to fall in here with a monster snowstorm on the east coast tomorrow. That sucks. :|
-
And she becomes a complete train wreck. Not because I don't like her but because she would be that much easier for me to pick up.
Come to Continentalop, Kristen. -
One's just for the pop songs on it (Mraz, Perry, Friday Night Boys, Sofi Bonde, Matchbox Twenty, etc.) and the Digital Deluxe Edition, with all that, plus the original instrumental score. Both will be out 1/12.
-
With her and Duhamel together.
-
FYI...misspell is the proper spelling...unless you were referring to an unmarried woman named spell, miss spell.
-
I love Kristen Bell very much. However, the trailer for this movie is so incredibly bad - it looks like that romantic comedy Frances McDormand goes to see in Burn After Reading. Just saccharine shit, with an aftertaste of corporate cross-promotion.
-
He gets the ladies.....creamin'.
-
Ghostface is the man. Hope he gets a cameo in Iron Man 2.Want to know real hip hop, kiddies? Bow to "Mighty Healthy."youtube watch?v=Mz0Ruh8Zml0 and this movie sounds like a semi-hilarious bag of crap.
-
Sooo Cute (#^.^#)
-
Painful cliches at every turn and not an ounce of originality or even a character I wanted to watch bounce around that universe. In fact, the only thing I really noticed in that trailer was Bell in those workout pants, I generally like my gals with more meat on the bone but Kristen B was rockin' it. I doubt I'll give this movie a chance, but I'm at least glad to hear there was more to it and it won't tank her career. But I'd much rather see her in better stuff, more original-sounding, creative material that can showcase more than the studio basics. Maybe even over a Slave Leia costume... maybe not.PS, how weird is it that the IMDB credits list a stunt double for Danny Devito, but Danny Devito himself is not listed there?
-
and they're ALL from her city? That's probably the most unbelievable thing in this stupid movie.
-
Too long was the first one (3 1/2 minutes), and a 2nd needs to be more focused. Don't say a word about the soundtrack, because the most important thing is the story.

oh god, for a second I thought this was about KRISTEN STEWART
by manifestchaos
and became certain I was living a waking nightmare.
-
He suprisingly does well? I don't know if you mean as an actor or a suitor. As an actor he can turn on the charm and is funny as hell. Check out his turns in "Other People's Money" or "Big Fish" for proof.
-
Sitting on his front porch & it hit in his back yard, current ran thru his house and came out the electric outlet behind the chair he was sitting in, tossed him over the rail into the front yard, he woke up 20 minutes later with a burn on his back and foot and paramedics shouting in his face. Didn't change him a bit, except he always says, "I survived a smackdown by God once, so I'm good."
-
Saw her goofing on her wonky eye on Leno or something once. Hilarious!
-
I do pride myself on being a good writer; learned that from my late mom. :) DeVito was good and was the best of the four who eventually came across as a non-pain-in-Beth's butt.
-
A fan made this video tribute at Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qsjQ_NfRDk Gives a good sample of the emotional punch of that film.
-
get more award nomination love than Astro Boy. Ditto for Where the Wild Things Are. :|
-
over that plank Josh Duhamel.
-
Did they mention that in the press kit?
-
My Grandmother used to always sing that around her house, then Gramps would walk in and inevitably say, "Yeah? Three coins? Go buy a cuppa coffee and shut your yap, then!"
-
that is all.
-
(a) do we see her tits and (b) can I stick my tounge far, far up her ass ?
-
Which are animation-industry-based awards - the people behind the pixels seem to have some love for it, thank god. I think the film was the victim of assumptions - a lot of people were convinced this 21st-century CGI adaptation of a classic manga/anime was gonna suck, and nothing was going to change their minds. But people who actually give the film a chance seem to love it. I've been on message boards where the film is discussed and it's almost universally (or should I say, internationally) loved by the people who've actually seen it. It's a shame. But, that's show biz, I guess...
-
...not a shame that people who've actually seen it love it. Maybe word of mouth will help sell a goodly amount of DVDs...I'd just like to see the people who made the film get rewarded in some way. We'll see...
-
The ditzy yet lovable character she always plays in every movie.
-
Veronica Mars was smart-ass and bad-ass.
Sarah Marshall was a bitch. -
Her lil con artist was completely different from her other roles.
-
Saw 'Rome' at a screening. Duhamel's is funny and soooo HOT. Watch out Ryan Reynolds there's a new boy in town.
-
Saw it with my wife. We both loved it. DannyD is the best.
