In this yawnsome romantic comedy, newly-dumped New York museum curator Beth (Kristen Bell) travels to Rome for her sister's wedding and takes some coins from a magical fountain. In consequence, she finds herself hotly pursued by the now-spellbound men who threw them in there: an artist with a foot fetish, a narcissistic male model, an annoying street magician and a sausage maker who is "big in bratwurst". True love seems to lie with relatively normal sports journalist Nick (Josh Duhamel) - or does it? When in Rome is watchable enough, albeit in a cheesily inept way, but is far less magical than its storyline. Even the title is a misnomer - the film is largely set in New York and, like guest stars Danny DeVito, Anjelica Huston and Don Johnson, the Eternal City only cameos.

After fishing out coins from a water fountain in Italy, cynical New Yorker Beth Harper finds herself being wooed by several ardent suitors. As she deals with the attention, Beth tries to figure out whether a charming reporter really loves her.
