When in Rome(2010)- User Reviews

The whole time I was hoping for a power failure. I sat through this film with my two daughters, as a good father. It’s hard to imagine how this movie was made or who sold this to the studio, what were they thinking? The whole fantasy plot of three men falling in love (obsession) with this dopey blonde that walks into a water fountain in an expensive dress and picks but some coins that some hard up guys have thrown in the water and that makes them love her is so out there.

How did all three guys get from Rome to New York? The bigger question is how did they get Danny DiVito to sign up for this film? I like “Chick-Flicks” I enjoyed “Letters to Juliet", really I did but that plot was fun and well acted. When in Rome was a joke and completely unbelievable. I'm OK with fantasy, if it works. "kate & Leopold" is a complete fantasy but it works.

The acting was weak and the casting was terrible. The main guy, Josh Duhamel, is at least two feet taller than the girl (dopey blonde) Kristen Bell who looks like a midget in three inch heels. The other characters are a who’s who of obscure actors that just don’t fit. The casting director should be ashamed of him/her self.

Stay away from this one if your wife or girl friend suggests it, go to the video store and rent “Three Coins in the Fountain” from 1954 which is a much better film that will give you brownie “Chick-flick” points and you may be able to sit through it too.
