When in Rome
Directed by Mark Steven Johnson
Disillusioned with romance, Beth, an ambitious New Yorker, travels to Rome for her sister's wedding, where she plucks magic coins from a special fountain of love. The coins attract unwanted attention from an assortment of odd yet ardent suitors: a sausage merchant, a street magician, an artist, and a male model. But when the best man from the wedding, persistent reporter Nick, throws his hat in the ring, Beth… From TMDB

Watch some "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", "Parks and Rec", the movie "Sing Street", or the music video "Promise" by When in Rome. That's my tx.

positive · AI labelView post →Many thanks to Uli for contacting her friends at Roman clothes manufacturer, Apuntob, who generously provided a list of sparkling recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Rome. A highlights was Forno, an ancient baker located in Piazza Campo de’ Fiori. The baking at Forno is wonderful, their pizza slices, exceptional. We watched Davida flash a meter and a half of pizza rosso into the oven, wait a minute and pull it out again. #wheninrome #pizza #bakery #rome #perfection

neutral · AI labelView post →WHEN IN ROME is the first film I was asked to review for Slackerwood and that made me think I could keep writing about film, instead of the news blogging I'd mainly done at Austinist (I reviewed film at that site too, but I don't remember the first one. Maybe MAMMA MIA?)
positive · AI labelView post →30 DAY FILM CHALLENGE DAY 19: The worst film you've ever seen WHEN IN ROME (2010) It was probably some film I saw on cable, but for something I consciously chose to watch, this probably takes it. What is this film? This fifteen-year-old cinephile found it dreary as heck even at the time. Pffft!
negative · AI labelView post →Are you describing a biography style movie or something related to a biopsy? Houston is a "When in Rome" word and should be pronounced as the locals pronounce it.
neutral · AI labelView post →One thing about me is: if a show or movie has an 80s vibe, involves young love, or both and it includes a scene set to "The Promise" by When In Rome, I'm gonna immediately love that thing

neutral · AI labelView post →Sweet, I'm curious about that one. I'm also an easy mark though. If you put When in Rome in the trailer, I'm gonna watch the movie 🤣
neutral · AI labelView post →To add to the weirdness of it being Don Johnson and Jon Heder being there when they weren't even the leads in the movie, Don Johnson is not even CREDITED in When in Rome. It's basically an uncredited cameo.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh boy... Worst quality or worst experience? Worst experience was Sleepless In Seattle because A migraine started setting in as soon as the film started and I almost walked out it became so bad. Quality: When In Rome. It was a scorching day and there was a free matinee with AC. 😅🤷
negative · AI labelView post →Let’s get down to brass tacks, how soon can Charli XCX play Catwoman? I am (for me) pretty checked out on superhero stuff, but give her a solo movie, like let her do When In Rome, holy crap that would kill. No idea if she can act, but she’s got the part.
neutral · AI labelView post →The thing is, this also happens whenever Western productions film here in the #Philippines, ends up weird because they do things the Western culture way. Ever heard of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"? It seems it doesn't apply in Asian countries. Westerners always impose their own in Asia. 🤷🏽
neutral · AI labelView post →Amazing. It wasn't at our wedding, but I've had The Promise by When In Rome in HEAVY rotation for a solid 20 years since that movie came out
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm curious, since I don't think you mentioned it -- were you aware when you wrote this that When In Rome is a very direct adaptation of the new Alien: Romulus film with the serial numbers filed off? I don't think there's a pregnant character for any reason beyond that the film has one, for example
neutral · AI labelView post →[SPOILER] they never say "When in Rome!" in the movie. Terrible! #gladiatorII
