Overview

Disillusioned with romance, Beth, an ambitious New Yorker, travels to Rome for her sister's wedding, where she plucks magic coins from a special fountain of love. The coins attract unwanted attention from an assortment of odd yet ardent suitors: a sausage merchant, a street magician, an artist, and a male model. But when the best man from the wedding, persistent reporter Nick, throws his hat in the ring, Beth wonders if his love is the real thing.

Keep your coin far away from this toxic fountain of crap.

It lurches along, making Ms. Bell and Mr. Duhamel look duller than they need to.

How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.

A bunch of eager performers troll for laughs that never come.

In the case of When in Rome, oh to do what the Romans used to do: Toss the bloody thing to the lions.
