“When in Rome”: A Romantic Comedy That’s Worth the Hype
When it comes to romantic comedies, there are a few flicks that stand the test of time.

But have you ever seen a rom-com with magic, hilarity, and a fountain of love? Well, that’s where “When in Rome” steps in.
The movie follows Beth (played by Kristen Bell), a young and successful curator at New York’s Guggenheim Museum who has given up on love after experiencing one too many heartbreaks. While attending her sister’s wedding in Rome, she snags some coins from the famous Fontana dell’Amore (Fountain of Love) and unknowingly takes on the curses of five men who had thrown them into the fountain to forget about their exes.
As Beth returns home to New York City, she finds herself being pursued by those men—some quite aggressively! One is an artist named Antonio (Will Arnett), another is a street magician named Lance (Jon Heder), then there’s Gale (Dax Shepard), the narcissistic model; then Nick (Josh Duhamel), an affable sports journalist; and finally Al (Danny DeVito), a sausage magnate with marital issues.
With so many guys vying for her attention, she doesn’t know which way to turn. However, as she gets closer to Nick, something magical happens – he seems different from the rest of them.
