When In Rome – Movie Review
When In Rome is a romantic comedy directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider, Daredevil) and written by the awesomely named David Diamond and David Weissman (Old Dogs). It’s the story of a young museum curator named Beth (Kristen Bell, Veronica Mars) who wants to fall in love but puts her job first. We know this because we are told it. She is forced to fly to Rome to attend her sister’s (Alexis Dziena, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist) last minute wedding to a guy she met 2 weeks ago. While there she meets best man Nick (Josh Duhamel, Las Vegas, Transformers) and instantly there are sparks between the two. However due to a misunderstanding she thinks he’s taken and winds up in a magical fountain that according to legend (which she does not know) if you take coins out of, the person who’s coin you pick will fall in love with you. She winds up picking out 5 coins.
Upon her return to New York she suddenly finds herself being pursued by a group of eccentric characters made up of a model (Dax Shepard), a painter (Will Arnett), a street magician (Jon Heder), and a sausage maker (Danny Devito), along with Nick who’s trying to figure out what went wrong that night at the wedding. She must now figure out a way to get these guys to stop interrupting her life so she can launch a new exhibit.
