A pair of young, attractive leads can't overcome When in Rome's reliance on unfunny gags and threadbare rom-com clichés. Read critic reviews

You know from the start of Mark Steven Johnson's silly, sunny romcom how it's going to end.

Number of record-scratch jokes? Three. Number of walk-into-a-lamppost gags? Two. Number of laughs? Take a wild guess.

This Italian-themed romcom is not quite the most unspeakably-patronising-to-Italy film of all time. That prize belongs to the musical Nine, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. But it runs a very close second.

Audience Reviews for When in Rome

Apr 17, 2014Kristen Bell stars in the romantic comedy When In Rome. The story follows a lovelorn art show manager named Beth who takes coins out of the mystical Fontana de Amore fountain, and soon discovers that doing so bound to her the love of the men who threw those coins into the fountain. Co-starring Will Arnett, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard, and Danny DeVito, the film is full of great comedic performances. However, the plot is overly silly and has too many twists. Still, the lighthearted humor is fun and the film has a sincere message about love and romance. When In Rome nearly gets by on the charisma of its actors, but there's just too much goofiness to overcome.Dann M Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011Not funny, good, or anthing else. Kristen Bell sucks, the splot was bad, and the comedy was the worst. I hated this movie with a great intensity.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Aug 18, 2011Critics hate it, and I totally get the things they will rip apart, but even with it's generic flaws...I really enjoyed it! I loved every second of it. Kristen Bell is adorable and Josh Duhamel is really likeable. The supporting characters are played by a perfect mix of odd actors like, Danny DeVito and Jon Heder. I also thought there were some genuine funny moments, which are always welcome in a modern rom-com. Oh...nice cameo from the dude that plays Pedro in Naploeon Dynamite! One thing that I didn't like however was the pacing. I felt like the two main characters met, then they were instantly in love, and then there was immediate conflict. I will admit that I fell for it, but I think the pacing could have been better. I definitely recommend this one though...I liked it!Jameson W Super Reviewer
