Comedy, Romance
Mostly silly, with a few funny bits thrown in. The script had the same lack of depth as a musical, but without the musical numbers. Views of Rome in the beginning almost make the whole thing worth it.
Kristen Bell did a pretty good job with this role - the beginning was hilarious, but it did get weak in the middle. The men chasing her tended to be more silly than funny, and the ending was obvious. Better than many recent comedies, but not great.
