When in Rome
All is fair in love and Rome.
Directed by Mark Steven Johnson
Produced by Krasnoff / Foster Entertainment, Touchstone Pictures
A lighthearted romantic comedy that uses magical realism and Rome's charm to explore whether love can overcome cynicism and bad luck.
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 wonders if his love is the real thing.
