When in Rome

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A pair of young, attractive leads can't overcome When in Rome's reliance on unfunny gags and threadbare rom-com clichés.

You know from the start of Mark Steven Johnson's silly, sunny romcom how it's going to end. Go to Full Review Robbie Collin News of the World 06/30/2010

Number of record-scratch jokes? Three. Number of walk-into-a-lamppost gags? Two. Number of laughs? Take a wild guess. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 06/25/2010

This Italian-themed romcom is not quite the most unspeakably-patronising-to-Italy film of all time. That prize belongs to the musical Nine, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. But it runs a very close second. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/30/2020

The dialogue is terribly forced, the acting is exaggerated, and the characters are excessively fake. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/27/2020

thiago s @Thiagostone 1d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Ed R Aug 27 One of the better romantic comedies you'll watch! See more Bill R Mar 30 Beautiful scenery of Rome and NYC, lots of giggles. Watch if you want something unserious and enjoyable. See more WILLIAM f Mar 30 Not a classic but good for a few laughs with a dumb but entertaining premise and a good cast. See more Christian S Mar 23 Very fun light hearted movie! Super entertaining! See more Aye E Mar 17 This feels like they didn't bother spending more than a day writing a script then cast any and every recognizable actor or comedian they could expecting that it would make it too big to fail. The star is for Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, and Danny Devito who were the strongest characters and performers in this, they are charming despite the material. And it's kind of fun watching it to identify each recognizable face that pops up. But otherwise it's an insult to Italy and comedy. See more Read all reviews
