When in Rome

Another. Bad. Romcom. What a surprise. It seems good ones are the rarity these days with overused plot devices, weak scripts and the reliance on good-looking actors to sell the movie making up the majority of the genre. The sad thing is that everyone loves a good romcom and out of desperation will pay hard-earned cash to watch rubbish like this.

The story is ridiculous: a career driven and unlucky-in-love New Yorker pops over to Rome for her sister’s wedding and plucks three coins out of a magical love fountain. Which means that the men who threw these coins into the fountain will magically fall in love with her. Which means that they all follow her back to New York and start stalking her. What? Are we 12 years old? In what universe does that story lend itself to a cute romcom? Pathetic and sad.

Rating: 2 outta 5.
