It’s possible that I’m just not enough of a girly-girl to really appreciate the upcoming romantic comedy When in Rome, or it could be that the trailers for the movie look just a bit too cheesy to pique my interest.
Walt Disney studios and MPM Digital Marketing have recently released a clip from the film, as well as a featurette, and frankly, the new video for When in Rome doesn’t do much to help the already over-the-top feel of the film’s earlier trailers.
For some reason, there is a man in a straitjacket hanging upside down from the ceiling of Kristen Bell’s apartment. Makes perfect sense, right?
From what I’ve gathered from the earlier trailers, the plot of When in Rome involves Kristen Bell’s character taking coins out of Rome’s Fountain of Love, which causes men to instantly fall in love with her.
The mummy-esque man in the new clip is one such man, attempting to perform one of Harry Houdini’s famous escapes in order to win the love of his infatuation.
Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself here.
To get a closer look at the stars of When in Love, Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, make sure to take a gander at their faux personal ad where they talk about everything from favorite food to favorite thing about each other. You can get up close and personal with the stars here.
When in Rome hits theaters January 29th.
