ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Desertman84 Even when shot in Rome,the Olsen twins once again fails to make another film that would by fun and entertaining.As always,they live up to their brand of making bad films. This time,we get to see the twins head overseas once again as young women who land internships at a glamorous entertainment company.When their internship got canceled,they decided to pursue their trip to the Italian capital and they find romance,fun and intrigue in their new adventure.Too bad that the Olsen twins always find time to play the same premise in most of their movies wherein the only difference is their characters' name and the land they head to.

cooling_boy1 I have been a big Olsen -fan since i began to watch their movies a couple of years ago. They haven't done any bad movies and i love most of them. And this movie was no exception. It contains everything you can ask for and even more. And the locations where this movie was filmed make it even better. Rome is a fantastic town with a lot of things to see and do. You see a lot of Rome in the movie a learn a lot about the culture. And the best of all is that the "Olsens" guide you in the town. It's really hard to compare the movies they've done but i think that this is one of the very best. Because of the environment, the great acting, the great actors, and finally because it is a kind of language barrier between the Italian boys and the American girls. So it becomes rather funny meanwhile when they can't understand each other so well. That's the main reasons why i think this movie is so great and if you are a real Olsen -fan you are hopefully going to agree with me. I've seen many times and i can't get enough of it and it's exciting each time i see it. So if you want to see a great movie then watch this!

Softball_chick While When In Rome was an all around decent movie, the plot was the same as about the last four or five movies the girls have done. I would like to see Mary-Kate and Ashley act some more mature roles instead of the same old. I do think that they are both good, beautiful actresses and I have liked them since their full house days.

MeBDev I always feel strange and guilty saying it (because I'm a fairly well-educated non-teenager), but I actually sort of like the Olsen twins, and I respect the movies they make, even though I've never really been their target audience. "When in Rome" was a traditional Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, complete with the foreign travel, accents, motorbikes, adult romance as a "B" storyline, fashion orientation, and even the gag reel over the credits. I enjoyed myself. "When in Rome" and the other Olsen twin movies never pretend to be anything they're not; most of the time, they only premiere on video, and they never claim to be the next "Citizen Kane" or even "An Affair to Remember." My point is, people who watch this movie and expect it to be anything other than another Olsen twin movie will be disappointed.That said, those who ARE fans of the Olsen twins will really enjoy themselves. For those of us who've watched them since the first episodes of "Full House," it's really great to see them growing into more mature roles. This movie provides important historical and geographical information, just like many of their other movies (remember 10 Downing Street from "Winning London" and the visit to the Louvre from "Passport to Paris"?) as well as providing good, clean fun that can be enjoyed by the whole family.As long as I still feel like I'm on my soapbox, and as long as I can make it relevant to the movie, let me take a moment to challenge those who reject the Olsen twins: in order to be a fan of the Olsen twins, you don't have to be some pre-teen "valley girl" from California. In fact, that's not really the target audience. If it were, the MK&A fashion line of clothes and accessories would be run through Gap or some store like that, not Wal-Mart. "When in Rome," while it does feature "high fashion" and globe-trotting and two girls from a valley in Cali, isn't really ABOUT that... it's more about inspiring young girls who have initiative to let it take them places. If that means setting the movie in some glamorous foreign city with cute guys on motorbikes, so be it. That's called marketing--you take an idea and sell it by making it appealing. At least they're sending a good message, even if the means seem a little superficial. Basically, don't knock the film until you've seen it, and then don't knock it until you've tried to understand what the Olsen twins do: they encourage young girls to be creative, intuitive, and driven young women. This movie does that, I think, just like their others. Kids - enjoy. Parents - do the same. If you like the Olsen twins, you won't be disappointed.
