When In Rome (2010) 7/10

Starring : Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Anjelica Huston, Will Arnett, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard
Director : Mark Steven Johnson
Running Time : 91 mins

Beth Martin (Bell) has been unlucky in love her entire life, so when she finds herself in Rome at a fountain famed for making romantic wished come true she decides to take some of the coins from the fountain as an angry affront to love. Unfortunately the rumours of the fountain are true and she soon finds herself being pursued by a series of men, all who had thrown coins into the fountain in search of love.

Another silly comedy reels its head, but I’m not complaining. Even though the plot is simple, it is often the simplest plots that are the most effective. Bell is charming as usual as the protagonist of the piece, and her differing suitors and their varied approaches make for interesting watching. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t the best comedy going, but it is definitely an entertaining little romp.
