Beth is a hard working career woman whose last relationship says that she puts her work above him so he left her. When he tells her he found another career woman and is willing to stick it out with her and is engaged to her, Beth feels that there is no one for her. And when she goes to Rome to attend her sister's impromptu wedding and after meeting the best man, Nick, she's attracted to him but after seeing him with another woman, she gets drunk and goes into the famed Fountain of Love and takes some coins thrown by people looking for love. When she goes back to New York four men start coming onto her. And Nick keeps calling her asking her out. She later learns that what she did--is a no no. It seems legend says that if you take a coin out of the fountain the person who threw it will fall in love with who took the coin. So she has to find a way to break the curse. And she wonders if Nick, whom she likes, is with her cause he wants to or if he is under the spell.

| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfJohnson doesn't know how to sell funny, so he plays everything in the most obvious, siren-wail fashion, deploying an atrocious supporting cast to volcanically ham it up while Bell blinks and fidgets and Duhamel plays confused convincingly |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'Connellone of those romantic comedies that's compelled to spell everything out for its audience at 10 minute intervals |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithLast time I checked, films had plot, characters (and character development) and, if nothing else, some semblance of a purpose other than to make money. Such is not the case here. At all. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordBeside the two actual laughs in the film, the cast helps to pull this from the doldrums %u2013 but not far. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe dialogue isn't funny and the filmmakers no nothing about comic timing. Has no one heard of Mel Brooks? |
| Movie ViewsRyan Cracknell[Bell] carries a classic presence and charm that is tough not to like. Yet, at the same time, she does so with a little spunk and sass. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongA brainless, fizzy, romantic-comedy fairy tale with a roster of acting talent far beyond expectations. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettA silly, preposterous romantic comedy that benefits from Josh Duhamel's self-assured likeability, which helps a thin script that relies on pratfalls not brain power. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...its main interest lies in figuring out just why people like Peggy Lipton and Don Johnson came out of the woodwork to play parts with practically no lines .. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel are so funny, quirky and appealing I'd love to root for them in a good romantic comedy, but When in Rome isn't it. |
