When in Rome

Having vacationed in Rome and longing to see a movie set there, we had high hopes for When in Rome. We weren't disappointed. Many familiar tourist spots figure in the story, most of which -- Piazzi di Spagna, Piazza Navona, the Vatican, etc. -- are identified by name in the dialog. Many of the most familiar and characteristic locations -- such as that islanded boulevard that leads from the Baths of Caracalla back into the city -- are lingered over lovingly. The cinematography rarely fails, and the plot never gets in the way.

Now of course I guess I'm required to say something snide and snotty about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the movie's stars. But I won't, and shame on you if you do. Go pick on somebody your own size. Actually, it's easy to see why the Olsen twins are beloved by their legions of fans. Charming, affable, modest, cute as buttons -- nice kids.

Here's a partial list of movies I don't like nearly as much as I like When in Rome: The Sixth Sense, American Beauty, The Truman Show, Koyaanisqatsi, Eyes Wide Shut, Fight Club, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Gattaca, Gosford Park, and of course Yentl.

this movie is not that great because the plots in all the movies are pretty much the same. the movies they did when they were younger were much better, but as they got older they started to write their own scripts so then it's not as great. although i like them and mostly watch the movies because i like the clothes they wear, i think they're bad actors. they should be the bad guys for once or change the plot. i heard they're making another movie and that's going to be their last..so they should make it different and make a name for themselves.

I have seen most of the Olsen films, and in my opinion, the movies they have made when they were younger were better than their later movies. Generally because they were younger then, so the plots looked cuter to the audience. But now, the movies are rather immature and very unrealistic, viewers can't identify the plots with real life.

My comment on When In Rome goes the same for all of their later movies. The characters they portray are almost always 'perfect'-beautiful, smart, trendy, well-off- as if all of us in real life are perfect. Why can't they play more stereotypical roles who fight in life to overcome their flaws? Also, they always meet boys in every place they go who automatically likes them. And what's queer is that, the boys always come in pairs, be they brothers, friends, etc. Also, the conflicts in the plots are solved rather easily and most of the conflicts are lame.

Now that they are older, they might want to make some differences in their movie making, such as starring in separate movies, more intelligent plots, things like that. Honestly, if they continue with their own way of making movies, they're gonna get nowhere. Note: These are my own opinions, and this is a free country.

This movie really sucks! I mean it is a piece of junk! and before you olsen fans (the olsen twins have FANS?) gang up on me with comments (in a valley girl accent) that your not prep and wouldnt't understand or why are you watching it. Well listen to this There was no reason for me to watch this. Liket he other movies they have the same plot. So seeing a few in the past I know what this movie is going to be about. So I know it is a piece of smelly, skanky sh*t like the other ones. The girls can act and are little b*tches who make the normal teenage girl feel bad that she doesn't get to wear Armani clothes or get to go to Rome or London and meet a nice looking guy and go on a great adventure and then get kissed? I mean Christ! WHy to people buy this stupid sh*t I think I expressed my opinion well.

This movie, was quite boring. I love Mk and A, and I'm one of their greatest fans, but the plot and problem? Pretty lame. There was no excitement at all. None! It was pretty cool they chose to do the movie in Rome though, and I like seeing the sights of Rome. I think they looked beautiful in this movie. It looked natural and not too overdone. Once again, with the boys? Maybe their movie should stop being about traveling the world and solving mysteries and more about teenage stuff, which teenagers might like to watch. It wasn't a disappointment, but not something I would jump up and down screaming about either. I still support Mk and A as actors, but I think their purpose of the movies and the point of watching, should take a turn of maybe turning into something more exciting.
