I'm not going to lie. Sometimes it is fun to go and see a stupid movie. You'll forget about it in a few days but it is fun at the moment.The plot is your typical stupid chick flick type. There are a few funny moments (the scene with the little car is hilarious) but it is nothing that'll keep you laughing for hours. The acting is alright I guess. No one is going to win any Oscars. The movie might pick up a few razzies actually.
Despite this if you are looking for something stupid to watch with your friends for a while this will work.
In conclusion, this is a typically stupid but enjoyable chick flick. Seeing it with friends helps too.

Movie was better than I expected, and was quite funny. Kristen Bell stars as a single art curator named Beth, who can't seem to find her true love. While attending her sister's wedding in Rome, she meets Nicholas Beamon, who is very sweet and very clumsy. When she sees him kissing another woman, who happens to be the groom's cousin; she gets drunk and steals coins from the fountain of love. (According to legend, if you take coins from the fountain, the owner of the coin will fall in love with whoever took the coin) When she gets back to New York, Lance a magician, Gale, Antonio, and Al follow her around and confess their love to her. In order for this to stop, she must return the coins to their owners, and see if Nicholas was the one who truly loved her. I highly recommend WHEN IN ROME!!!REVIEW user: flower | date: 2010-08-27 02:53:42 | user rate:
I've wanted to see this film since I watched the preview, and it did not disappoint. I laughed so hard throughout. I loved the characters. Kristin Bell as a young woman who wants love, but has given up on it and focused on her career instead. Then along comes this awesome guy who seems too good to be true, and probably is. The four men were hilarious and I adored the best friend of Nick. It was nice to relax and watch a film that focuses on the problems and difficulties of love unrequited. Plus, even Rome was beautiful and made me actually want to visit. If you're in the mood for a laugh and some sighs, I recommend this film.REVIEW user: guess | date: 2010-08-27 02:51:58 | user rate:
"When in Rome" at first glance appears to be your standard romantic comedy, but it's actually worse than that.I like romantic comedies which have a real-factor to it - that there's a chance that this could happen. But this film is completely ridiculous, and not in a funny way.
They appeared to be going for the laughs more than the romance. The "real" relationship wasn't built up at all so we didn't get to feel any of the love. On top of that, the comedy wasn't even done well. The timing was off, so even half-decent jokes weren't funny. It seemed that all the jokes were written in just to cover up sloppy writing. All of the so-called "twists" and "turns" were lame and seemed to be added at the last minute to overcome a bad plot idea.
I usually find romantic comedies to be harmless fun, but "When in Rome" actually angered me it was so poorly written. It gives the genre a bad name.

I loved it! It was so cute and has so many funny parts, I want to watch it again! I love Dax Shepard's character, they all were really good characters though. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I figured out the end in the very beginning, but I was still very pleased with it. I agree that it would have been funny if one was a girl as well. And I disagree with the bad reviews that this movie got, but we all have our own opinions and that is why I wanted to put in mine. I heard it had bad reviews but I still went to see it and I am glad I did. I really think that they did a good job. and it puts a good perspective on things.
