Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

When in Rome is a brutal movie with a really stupid storyline and a good cast that sadly couldn't make up for this terrible script.We follow Kristen Bell in this movie,who I do like very much as an actress,but her character in this was just not likable at all,and that's the same for Josh Duhamel,but the most annoying characters were certainly the four men who fell in love with Bell,who were sadly played by some great comedy actors,Danny DeVito,Will Arnett and Jon Heder,but it couldn't make up for how irritating these characters were,everything that came out of their mouths was just not funny,and the reason why they fell in love with Bell is ridiculous.Unless you want to see a romantic comedy were you won't laugh or have any care for the characters whatsoever,definitely avoid When in Rome. A New Yorker is pursued by a band of infatuated suitors when she takes some coins from a fountain in Rome,but she has her eyes on someone else. Best Performance: Kristen Bell Worst Performance: Dax Shepard

Kristen Bell from Frozen stars as Beth in this clichéd romantic comedy released by Touchstone Pictures. She's an unlucky in love woman who's sister is about to get married in Rome. Here Beth meets a handsome man named Nicolas played by Josh Duhmel from Life As We Know It and she starts to like him. But when she sees him with another woman she gets drunk and goes into the love fountain where she picks up coins. But when she does do that strange things start to happen to her as the men that threw the coins and the chip into the love fountain are now CRAZY in love with her. But things get complicated when she meets Nick again and she has to wonder does he love her or is he under the spell too?Overall When In Rome isn't a bad flick. Is it good well sorta but not really. The acting was pretty much OK,Danny De Vito was funny as he was one of the men who was under the love spell and dropped a coin into the fountain,and Kristen Bell's real life husband Dax Shepard was in it too as a model guy.Bottom line if you love romantic comedies like me check it out. 5/10

Nick was adorable. Beth was kinda dense for taking coins, would she like someone to rip her wishes from a fountain?The most upsetting things to me in the whole movie was Nick's friend who needed a shave and a hairdresser-I wanted to strangle my t.v every time he was on screen-although if Jack Black had played it- it would have been cute.The restaurant in the dark was very funny. I cannot believe people would eat in the dark- I have trouble seeing in daylight.The magician guy was very annoying. He was just like a talking mime or something. Again I gritted my teeth.Even the man driving the stagecoach was annoying. Can't anyone not say "Dude?".Lastly- did Beth not play with a helmet on? She should have spotted real love from Nick and fake from the others.Beth's story about Picazzo was probably one version that was supposed to be true. I heard through a source people don't want to hear- that Van Gogh cut his ear off because Picasso refused his love. And he threw himself down a flight of stairs. Also lastly- I do not think Nick's painting was artistic or sad- my grandmother was an artist and I have seen lots better that she painted.What was up with that Liza Minelli looking secretary- who I could have gotten very upset because of her taking the coins-what a busy body.As much as I complained about the people it was a very good movie.Also, what was up with Anjelica Houston. She was so mild and sweet in the Addams Family movies. Damn, she was a monster.The most laughable thing was the little car- that was very funny. I was glad Nick stayed his handsome charismatic self all the way to the end.
