When in Rome (2010)

When in Rome is full of unfulfilled potential. Kristen Bell doesn't get to be as adorable as she can be, Will Arnett, Jon Heder and Dax Shepard don't get to be as funny as they can be and this romantic comedy isn't as romantic or comedic as it could have been. I was disappointed.

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.

I don't know what people are looking for. This is a cute, silly RomCom! Geesh! It's not a freaking documentary! If you want a cute, fun escape that's silly and entertaining then watch this movie. There are funny parts. Josh Duhamel's (or however you spell it) sidekicks are funny and there is scenery in Rome. Kristen Bell is likable and cute. The other supporting cast is good (Angelica Houston, Danny DeVito, etc). Not everyone wants to watch depressing movies that are clearly only made to be considered for an Oscar. Sometimes you just want to watch something fun. Oh, and by the way, I'm a girl. So maybe I am more forgiving then some of these guys that would rather watch a Steven Segal movie.

I saw this movie 3 months ago. it was so bad i can't get it out of my head. i am hoping to excise the demons by venting here. I can honestly say that it is one of the two worst movies I have EVER seen in my life, along with The Tailor of Panama. Skip this movie.It is difficult to know where to start. I do not have a problem with movie premises that ask you to suspend disbelief so as to make a basic tenant of the story line work. But i have a huge problem with being asked to suspend disbelief because the writers are too lazy to come up with plausible plot machinations. this movie does both. The acting is incredible inept. I was particularly put off by Will Arnett's turn as an improbably poorly cast Italian. Though Dax Sheppard, Jon Heder and Danny divito were equally poor choices who phoned in their performances. Editing was poor as it was at times difficult to know where the action was taking place,not that I cared. The "jokes" were not funny. The chemistry in this "romantic comedy" between the two leads was unbelievable. Actually not existent. just all around terrible...
