When in Rome...and left behind.

When in Rome

When in Rome is the overly made classic rom-com, there isn't one plot 'twist' in this boring film that we haven't seen before in the MANY rom-coms that have come before this torturous rendition. From beginning to end the movie was non stop cliches and bad acting. Actually not really the actors fault though cause the writing was HORRIBLE! Like a bad Mary-kate and Ashley flick. Time after time the male counterpart to the beautiful Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel explained that he really loved her...but again and again she would not believe him and run away. This happened the entire film and continued to get on my nerves. "He loves you already!" I wanted to yell at the screen. Not to mention the fact that the movie started quickly and moved too quickly for the rest of it. The story left no time for character development and before we even knew what was happening he was in love with her and the rest was history...well actually the rest was just her running away from him. Watching a movie is like taking a ride through a story with these characters who you can come to love and care about. But with this movie, it was as if the characters left without the audience and we are spending the whole movie trying to catch up. This movie was a sad attempt at a good idea and it's a shame that they weren't willing to take the time to make it better. I would give this movie 1 1/2 stars and only...no thumbs up. Sorry Rome...just didn't do it for me this time.
