Boxoffice Magazine
Entertaining, full of laughs and, as far as chick flicks go, is a sweet, romantic trip worth taking for audiences so inclined. - 50
Variety
Predictable but pleasant comedic fantasy. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
Bell, a petite, pretty blonde, may or may not have the Meg Ryan-Julia Roberts-Sandra Bullock goods. When in Rome, a leaden variation on that rom-com recipe, fails utterly to make her case. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Certain scenes in When in Rome signify nothing less than the death of screen slapstick, but I’m hoping it’s one of those fake-out movie deaths where it’s not really dead, not forever. - 30
The New York Times
There are dull stabs at verbal wit that leave you baffled, bored or slightly grossed out. - 25
Miami Herald
Tale is anything but spellbinding. - 25
Boston Globe
It winds up being predictably charmless and forgettable, even as a travelogue or iPod download. - 25
Philadelphia Inquirer
An inert comedy starring Kristen Bell as a workaholic unlucky in love, When in Rome is a rom-bomb.
