Prismark10 When in Rome is a dismal rom com. Kristen Bell is a career woman who has found love elusive. At her sister's wedding in Italy she drunkenly takes out coins from Rome's 'Fountain of love' which leads to the men who threw those coins into the fountain to fall in love with her and they each stalk her back to New York.Josh Duhamel was the best man at her sister's wedding and he is also interested in Bell but she wonders if he really wants her or just bedazzled.Duhamel is charming with the little the script has given him, Bell is flat and two dimensional, Danny DeVito, Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, Jon Heder try to shine quirkily as the crazed suitors.There is some originality in the film like a restaurant set in darkness but the film so often falls for unfunny and unoriginal slapstick.

phoenix 2 Beth travels to Rome to attend her sister's wedding. There, disappointed by love, she will steal coins from the fountain of love. That however will make the men who threw the coins fell in love with her and chase her back to America, making her life unbearable. And the worst, the man she is in love with, has also thrown a coin in the fountain, which she has picked up. Now, I know 1 out of 10 is harsh, but the movie is really bad. The idea behind the movie is good, but the script and the film altogether don't execute it well. The story line is horrible, the lines forced to be funny, the performances, well, the actors do seem to be bored, so no luck there either. The costumes are good, Beth's especially, but everything else just don't work, even the 'magic'. So, because even a horrible romantic will be disappointed by it, 1.

callanvass Credit IMDb Beth is a hard working career woman whose last relationship says that she puts her work above him so he left her. When he tells her he found another career woman and is willing to stick it out with her and is engaged to her. Beth feels that there is no one for her. And when she goes to Rome to attend her sister's impromptu wedding and after meeting the best man, Nick she's attracted to him but after seeing him with another woman, she gets drunk and goes into the famed Fountain of Love and takes some coins thrown by people looking for love. When she goes back to New York four men start coming onto her. And Nick keeps calling her asking her out. She later learns that what she did--is a no no. It seems legend says that if you take a coins out of the fountain the person who threw it will fall in love with who took the coin. So she has to find a way to break the curse. And she wonders if Nick whom she likes is with her cause he wants to or is he under the spell.Really awful stuff here. The sad thing is I like Bell and Duhamel, but nothing here really benefits either of them. It lacked laughs, I didn't sense any heart too it, nor did it have any real characters that I liked.Bottom line. Terrible Romantic Comedy that adds nothing new to the genre. You are better off skipping this one.3/10

disdressed12 i thought this was a decent enough romantic comedy.it leaned more toward the romantic side than the comedy,but it had some funny bits scattered throughout.i liked the odd ball group of characters.the two leads,Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel were very good and had excellent chemistry.Don Johnson was good in a small role.the story was fairly predictable(you pretty much know how it's gonna end) but it wasn't boring.as far as romantic comedies go,this one was far from the worst i have seen.it's rated 5.1 here on this site,but that seems a bit low too in my opinion me.you could do a lot worse with you time.for me,When in Rome is a 6/10
