When in Rome stars Josh Duhamel as Nick Beamon and Kristen Bell as Beth Harper. Harper is a curator for the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

She flies to Rome for her little sister’s whim of a wedding.

The wedding spurs her thoughts about love especially since she finds out that ex is engaged.

Love in general is lost on Harper.

Her parents are divorced and her father is hopeless.

He marries many beautiful women, who he eventually divorces.

To avoid the hassle, Harper avoids the subject entirely and throws herself into her work, which almost always costs her in terms of relationships.

Beamon (Duhamel) is a sports writer for the Daily News who regrets how his football career ended, being struck by lightning.

He is a hopeless klutz and all the worst things happen to him at the right moments. His character adds a lot of comic relief to the romantic chick flick.

The movie is definitely the typical chick flick with an equal amount of comedy.

Harper’s suitors bring in many hilarious elements as well as a few awkward situations.

“When in Rome” is directed by Mark Steven Johnson, who is best known for his work in “Daredevil” and “Ghost Rider,” two completely different films.

Crazy coincidences happen just as they do in all good chick flicks.

Each of the main characters has a nice, single friend sidekick who thinks they know what is best for their friends.

The guy is a typical “the girl is ruining our friendship” type and the girl is the typical hopeless romantic.

Angelica Houston plays her usual role of the hardnosed boss who expects the most from her employees. She gives them no respect, they have to earn it.

Though, as usual, Houston’s character comes around giving her employees the much deserved pat on the back, even she gives a little bit of comedy to the movie in the end.

All of Harper’s admirers learn the lessons they needed to and in the end so does she.

The movie has a textbook chick flick ending, an ending that is predictable from the very beginning, with a little bit of a twist, a touch of comic relief and a resolution to an earlier problem.

The film does do a good job of showing off the scenery in Rome and in New York, as well as distinguishing between the two different cities.

It captures the romance of the beautiful city of Rome and the lack of romance in New York.

The big city is portrayed as a place where busy people go about their lives and throw themselves into their work, while Rome is a magical place where anything can happen.

Overall the movie shows that love can happen to those who wait for it, and when the timing is right. It brings back the old adage of if “it’s meant to be it will be.”

It is a good movie to go see to renew your hope in love and to get a few good laughs in.

After all, everyone needs a little light hearted romantic comedy every now and then. Author can be reached at [email protected]
