When in Rome – Fünf Männer sind vier zuviel (2010)

When in Rome – Fünf Männer sind vier zuviel: Directed by Mark Steven Johnson. With Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Anjelica Huston, Danny DeVito. Beth is a young, ambitious New Yorker who is completely unlucky in love. However, on a whirlwind trip to Rome, she impulsively steals some coins from a reputed fountain of love, and is then aggressively pursued by a band of suitors.

“Harmless romantic comedy with a twist: A down-on-her-romantic luck American (Bell) steals some coins out of the Fountain of Love in Rome, and the men who threw those items into that fountain all fall in love with her, and pursue the bewildered girl. Sheu0026#39;s in Rome for her kid sisteru0026#39;s wedding where she meets and quickly falls for the charming Josh Duhamel, who looks great even if he isnu0026#39;t given a chance to do any real acting here. When she catches him smooching with another woman, she figures sheu0026#39;s back where she started, romance-wise, and returns to New York. Duhamel pursues her, of course, as do the four smitten men (DiVito, Shepard, Arnett and Heder). She now has to figure out how o reverse the spell. Some funny moments, nice location photography (as far as I could tell) and the elfin Ms. Bell make it worth a watch by the gals. And thereu0026#39;s a nice tip of the hat to THE WIZARD OF OZ near the end. A trifle at best. Don Johnson has a small role as her dad. Anjelica Houston has an even smaller role as Bellu0026#39;s boss.”
