May 29, 2011Josh Duhamel is the very definition of non-personality, and Kristen Bell, who can be quite charming and naughty, came off as very one-note. There were a few moments, but mostly pretty awful.

April 2, 2011Not funny, good, or anthing else. Kristen Bell sucks, the splot was bad, and the comedy was the worst. I hated this movie with a great intensity.

November 7, 2010It was better than what I expected. It's a romantic comedy with a twist.

October 21, 2010This was savaged by critics when it came out as the worst kind of contrived nonsense and while it is contrived and silly there are surely worse film around even worse romantic comedies. At least has a pleasant lead actress in Kristen Bell, a handsome and charming leading man and ... read more

August 15, 2010While this is definitely not my favorite rom-com, I did enjoy it. I thought it was very cute. It had some plot twists and unpredictability which kept me interested.
I wasn't too convinced with the chemistry between Bell and Duhamel, but it was alright. The movie was somewhat h... read more -

In the case of When in Rome, oh to do what the Romans used to do: Toss the bloody thing to the lions. Full Review

We get three acts of labored slapstick wrung from an eye-roller of a premise. Full Review

A brainless, fizzy, romantic-comedy fairy tale with a roster of acting talent far beyond expectations. Full Review

Josh Duhamel plays the smitten sports reporter who helps Kristen Bell mount her big art show, "Pain"-a fitting title, given the agony induced by this godawful comedy. Full Review

On this simple, sheeplike level, the thoroughly average When in Rome qualifies as almost a complete success, except in its requirement that we go along with some business involving hocus pocus. Full Review

When in Rome plumbs new depths for ineptitude in acting, directing, writing and every other department. Full Review
