UC to host "When in Rome" advanced screening

 The University of Cincinnati was selected as one of 30 universities to host an advanced screening of the romantic comedy "When in Rome."

The film, starring Kristen Bell of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Couples Retreat," will premiere in theaters in January 2010, but UC students can get a free sneak peek Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 5 p.m. in MainStreet Cinema.

Free tickets are available at www.wheninromescreenings.com. Each ticket admits two and seating is on a first come, first served basis. 

"When in Rome" is a story of a young woman who travels to Rome and retrieves coins from a fountain of love, which enchants the men who threw them. The movie also stars Danny DeVito, Jon Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite") and Josh Duhamel ("Win a Date with Tad Hamilton," "Transformers").

The event is sponsored by the Programs and Activities Council.
