All is fair in love and Rome.
Beth is a successful career woman but an unlucky girl when it comes to love. When in Rome for her sister's wedding, she saw Nick, the guy she liked with another girl, she got drunk and decided to steal coins from the famed Fountain of Love and the next thing she knew she's being aggressively pursued by the men who threw the coins she had stolen from the fountain. Nick constantly tried to ask her out, thinking that he is also under the spell just like her other suitors, she decided to do the right thing which is to return the coins to their owners, already accepting the fact that if she did so, she might lose Nick whom she grew to love but she didn't know she's in for quite a surprise.
The movie is just okay. Not as romantic or funny as I hoped it would be which is obviously disappointing. I think the story is too shallow and forgettable if not for Bell and Duhamel. The setting is the best factor in this movie and I think it would've been better if the story showed more of Rome's beauty. One awkwardly funny thing in this flick is watching Danny DeVito chase Kristen Bell, I mean that is some kind of humor, right? Well, simply put, the movie can be called a waste of its actors' talents. When in Rome is not for those who want to enjoy a cheesy love story, it's more likely for those who want to see a movie just for the sake of seeing one.
