| Original Score: D | May 6, 2011

You know from the start of Mark Steven Johnson's silly, sunny romcom how it's going to end.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 30, 2010

Number of record-scratch jokes? Three. Number of walk-into-a-lamppost gags? Two. Number of laughs? Take a wild guess.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 30, 2010

This Italian-themed romcom is not quite the most unspeakably-patronising-to-Italy film of all time. That prize belongs to the musical Nine, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. But it runs a very close second.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 25, 2010

I'm not cynical about hope, just the way that romantic comedies exploit it, without necessarily delivering. When in Rome does that to a large degree, even basing its conceit on a wishing well, the ultimate exploitation of hope.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 22, 2010

It manages to be reasonably fun, kind of funny and just a little charming, and will be fine to watch with your Disney rom-com loving kids on DVD.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2010

Succeeds only in displaying Bell's lack of comic flair.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 22, 2010

Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel are attractive enough but they can't elevate this seriously silly rom-com.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 21, 2010

One step forward for Kristen Bell, one giant leap backward for womankind.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 29, 2010

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

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

Full Review | Jan 29, 2010

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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 29, 2010

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

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 29, 2010

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

| Original Score: C | Jan 29, 2010

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.

| Jan 29, 2010

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

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 29, 2010

The problem is not the credulity-stretching script. Or even that much of the movie just isn't all that funny. The problem is that it thinks it's freakin' hilarious.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 29, 2010

Bell and Duhamel may have something as a romantic onscreen pair but there's no telling. What's going on around them is both distracting and annoying, thanks to the hyperactivity of the oddball suitors who tend to suck all of the chemistry out of the room.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 29, 2010
