Critics consensus

“A pair of young, attractive leads can't overcome When in Rome 's reliance on unfunny gags and threadbare rom-com clichés.”

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

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

RTGuardianJun 25, 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.

RTGone With The TwinsNov 30, 2020

The dialogue is terribly forced, the acting is exaggerated, and the characters are excessively fake.
