Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell star in the romantic comedy When In Rome. Bell plays the work obsessed Beth who doesn't seem to have any success with her love life. She travels to Rome for her sister's wedding where she meets Duhamel's character Nick. The two really hit it off, but when Beth takes some coins out of the famous fountain of love she accidentally casts a love spell on an assortment of men who threw their coins into the fountain and she can't be sure if Nick's love for her is real.The movie has a fairly predictable plot, but it will surely keep you laughing throughout. Each of the men under the love spell are peculiar--there is a sausage salesman, a street magician, an aspiring artist and a self obsessed model--but they all cause a lot of hilarious encounters. Beth gets chased down the street by one of her suitors who ends up getting hit by a horse and carriage and another unsuccessfully tries to escape from a Houdini like mummy suit in the middle of Beth's living room. Jon Heder's character even has a personal video taper who will be recognized by Napoleon Dynamite fans and adds to the hilarity.
Duhamel and Bell really make a dynamic on screen couple as Beth goes back and fourth about the relationship and Nick continues to pursue her. It's hard not to want their relationship to work out as the dreamy lovestruck sports reporter, Nick, is determined to convince Beth that she really can find love. She learns to believe in love again as she also must figure out how to break the spell she accidentally cast on several men. When In Rome is a fun high energy film that does not disappoint with its diverse cast of characters and endless laughs.
