sweet script, some of the comedy's broad, some of it's more quirky and under the radar...It's about a girl who's the youngest curator at the Guggenheim Museum, and she's not interested in love because she's interested in work and doesn't really believe in it. She goes to her sister's wedding in Rome, and while there, she takes seven coins out of this huge fountain in Rome and puts them in her pocket. And throughout the course of the movie, the seven people that have thrown them in there wishing for love or passion start to stalk her. They're obsessed with her for the entire movie. And she doesn't understand what's going on. It's really sweet, I like it a lot. It's not as squeaky-clean as every other Disney movie, but it still is a good, fun, clean time."

And what of her original love, theater? "It's the top. The tippity-top. Priority #0, even before #1. Theater's the love of my life, and so close to my heart." Oh, okay. Point taken. Still, she has nothing lined up on stage right now. "It's just a matter of making smart decisions as an actress but also as a businesswoman, of taking my window of opportunity while I have it. You know, there are a thousand girls that have great acting chops, and are pretty, and personable, and I could easily fall out of good standing and somebody else could take my place. I want to ride this wave while I have it, but I definitely want to go back and do theater."

The money might have something to do with it – recalling a play she did before Veronica Mars, she remarks, "We got seven dollars a show. Four times a week, guys. I was living large."

The ability for Bell to be a theater freak on the one hand and the object of lust and admiration for millions of sci-fi and fantasy geeks on the other is nothing short of remarkable, but Bell seems to love both side. When a reporter asks her if she's ever been to Comic-Con, she laughs. "Have I done Comic-Con. This is not to be cocky, but, I go over real well at Comic-Con. I've done quite a few Comic-Cons, and I enjoy the hell out of them. They are so much fun, and so bizarre. I've done the FX Show in Florida, Wizard-World in Chicago, Comic-Con in San Diego, Wonder-Con in San Francisco, the Comic-Con in New York, and I've done them numerous times."

While it might seem strange that Bell feels such a kinship with acne-ridden geeks, perhaps she sees a little of herself in them after all. "It's people who like what they like because they like it. Sure it's bizarre, sure you dress up in the costumes and play with action figures, but whatever, you're having fun. Who cares?"
