Take 10: When In Rome

Normally, this type of movie is my go-to movie.  Meaning I'd rather watch a romantic comedy (they are funny and light, which keeps my energy light) than most genres.  Not to mention I've loved Josh Duhamel since "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton".  He's dreamy (please don't tell my boyfriend).  And I've loved Kristen Bell since "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".  So, I am not real sure why this flick did pretty much nothing for me.  But...it pretty much did nothing for me I am sad to say.

Of course, in the same way that I refuse to take a critics review as gospel whether I will like a movie or not, decide for yourself.  My taste isn't necessarily your taste.

And if perspective does play a factor (and I'm pretty convinced it does), perhaps if you wait to see this until it is on TV and it seems like your only choice for some mindless fluff (as that is the mood you happen to be in), then maybe...just maybe...you will enjoy this movie.
