"When in Rome"

While Mel Gibson seeks to re-capture his former movie star glory, ex-UPN star Kristen "Veronica Mars" Bell attempts to launch her big-screen career with a romantic comedy from the director of "Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider." Bell plays an unlucky-in-love twentysomething who suddenly finds herself pursued by too many suitors after an encounter with a magical fountain on a trip to Rome. Will Arnett, Danny DeVito, Dax Shepard and Josh Duhamel play the men attempting to capture our heart. Psst Kristen...here's a tip- go with Arnett. 1 hr. 31 mins.
