When in Rome sadly falls under the category of False Advertising or as how I would like to call it Trailer-itis. Trailer-itis occurs when the trailer is funnier than movie.
Anyways, I dragged Eddy to it and now owe him a guy movie date. Darn you, When in Rome !
Quick synopsis: Kristen Bell plays a brilliant curator who has chosen to have a career than a love life because her parents got divorced and never had their happily ever after. She is determined career women with little time for romance. Then her little sister, played by Alexis Dziena, calls saying she’s met the love of her life and is getting married in Rome. Bell must travel to Italy in order to attend at her sister’s request. At the wedding she meets the super cute best man Josh Duhamel who warms her heart but she obviously resists. Throw in the standard magical Roman fountain, love spells, Danny DeVito, Will Arnett , Jon Heder, Dax Shepard and Anjelica Huston and you have a weak romantic comedy.
Yup, this movie was not worth my admission price.
The writing and love shenanigans were not funny. Acting was okay. Even cinematography failed. I mean its Rome how can you mess that up?! Anyone who has ever been to Italy knows that it is the most beautiful place on earth. Ever since 2004, I have been trying to find a way to move there. It’s that beautiful.
Red box the film!
