Critics Consensus

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

Gone With The Twins

The dialogue is terribly forced, the acting is exaggerated, and the characters are excessively fake.

Rated: 3/10

the beginning is my favorite part of the movie because of how everything falls into place in the end. overall I think this movie is hated for no reason and you should give it a watch if u enjoy rom-coms that aren't to overly cheesy.

I like movies that are different at least with a touch of Fantasy. It’s just as predictable as it is different.
