I just came back from seeing When in Rome starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel. I hadn’t seen the commercials for this film, but I got the 
basic idea that it was about an anti-romance woman who steals coins from the fountain of love. The men who had tossed the coins are under a love spell and pursue her. The result is a light and silly movie (that was barely set in Rome!)
Was it funny? Yeah, it has some physical comedy (finally, the guy is the klutz!), some very funny moments, and some over-the-top ridiculousness. Most of the humor came from the weirdoes who were following the woman.
Was it romantic? Not really–although Josh Duhamel came across as adorable. I hope to see him in more romantic comedies.
Did it say anything new or different about relationships? Absolutely not. I think the whole point was that risk is a part of passion. This is something I’ve seen in many romantic comedies.
When in Rome is 1 out of 3 in my Romantic Comedy Meter. My opinion? Wait for it to come out on TV.
When I saw bits and pieces on TV about this movie, I said I would wait for it to be on DVD… did not really grab my attention.
You made the right decision, Colleen!
