When in Rome

When in Rome, you should still see this. When in Rome is about a career-obsessed woman taking a few coins from a magical fountain that causes a bunch a guys to randomly show up, claiming they're in love with her. The biggest gripe about this is that the story takes quite a few leaps of faith that they hope you don't notice, like the guys having some sort of sixth sense as to where the lead character is at all times. I'll put that aside to say that it was verrrryyyy funny which makes up for the magic-crutch storyline. My only wish here is that the story was better. Ages 11+

Funny But Grown Up

WHEN IN ROME is a romantic comedy and I think that it should be PG-13...and what I like about it is that it IS Rated PG-13 because there are a few bad words in it. I like that it's a comedy because I love funny stuff and there was a LOT of funny stuff that is mysterious. I don't know if the fountain where the curse happened is real. She (Kristen Bell) was drunk and she saw a boy she liked (Josh Duhamel) kissing another girl. She went to the fountain of love and talked to a statue. She picked up coins and it turns out that there is a curse: if you take the coins from the fountain, the people who threw the coins will fall in love with you. The love part was very grown up; there was a lot of kissing and I felt it was dumb. The movie is really grown up for me. For 13-14 years old and up.

PARENT: A Disney-Clean PG-13

WHEN IN ROME is exactly what you'd expect from a Disney (Touchstone) PG-13 Romantic Comedy. Two clean-cut stars (Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel) and not much in it that's PG-13 (two of the most minor curse words and a couple of mild jokes for adults). The plot of a woman who takes coins from a Fountain of Love in Rome only to discover it makes the people who tossed the coin fall obsessively in love with her takes a "magic" cue that resembles many Disney plots from HERBIE THE LOVE BUG to FREAKY FRIDAY to THE LITTLE MERMAID.

So, is it appropriate to take your kids? Pretty much. Will they enjoy a story about grown-up love? If there's a chance they will, this is the film. WHEN IN ROME has adults acting silly and a storyline that's easy to follow. Additionally, it's pretty darn funny. While we don't see enough of Rome to be satisfied given the title of the film (most of it takes place in New York), there's enough to get an appetite to see the archelogical haven. It's appropriate for 7 and up, however, I'd still recommend tween-age just because it's a love story about adults.
