Most of the troubles come from the painfully unfunny shenanigans of Beth's magic-stricken admirers.

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

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

It lurches along, making Ms. Bell and Mr. Duhamel look duller than they need to.

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

[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.

When in Rome is an insipid waste; every ounce of potential has been steadfastly turned away from in order to make a safe little piece of clowning.

When in Rome never delves deep into anything, but whisks us through the conventions of romantic comedies so quickly there's barely time to groan.

A bunch of eager performers troll for laughs that never come.

My kind of romantic comedy. It's funny, a bit silly and doesn't try to set the new standard for romance in the genre. It's exactly what you expect, but in a good way.
