Good for Middle School and Up....
When in Rome is a classic, comeidic, romance. It uses some iffy language, but a majority of 12 year olds have most likely already heard it used. The kids veiwing this movie just needs to learn not to use it innapropriatly. You do notice product placement but, again they aren't saying, only blackberry's get service in rome. The messages and role models are good. Beth works to succide and Nick also has a steady job. When in Rome is a great movie and kids 12 and up should veiw it.

Worst.
Disillusioned with romance during her whirlwind trip to Rome, an ambitious New Yorker defiantly swipes a few magic coins from a "foolish" wishing fountain, inadvertently igniting the passions of a motley crew of suitors as she's pursued by a handsome reporter with charm to spare. Beth (Kristen Bell) is at a point in her life where love seems like a luxury she just can't afford. Years of waiting for that perfect romance has made Beth bitter, and one day, while vacationing in Rome, she cynically plucks a handful of coins from a local fountain of love. Almost immediately thereafter, Beth finds herself fending off the advances of a diminutive sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a lanky street magician (Jon Heder), a doting painter (Will Arnett), and a narcissistic male model (Dax Shepard). Meanwhile, a smitten reporter (Josh Duhamel) does his best to convince Beth that true love isn't just a topic of fairy tales and romance novels. what an awful movie it is, so dull and bad bad just pure bad. i hated it. one of the worst Romantic comedy ever. i rated it Not interested but saw it on TV. movie has some tiny miny potential but it just didn't work. i don't even wan't to talk much about it. direction was bad, screenplay was awful. i really like Josh Duhamel but everyone else were awful. bad everything. thats it, NOT RECOMMENDED at all.

Just fine for ages 10+
I could not see why it was rated PG-13. It was so innocent. Except for the nude painting. Other than that, it was so clean.

Go watch it!
When in Rome was hysterical yet romantic. It was an inspiring and beautiful film. I suggest when you watch this movie the room should be dim and you should have the one you love right beside you. To me I feel like this movie is appropriate for any age. The actors in this movie did phenomenal. They got me so into the movie and they made me believe they were actually feeling the way they were acting like they felt. When they laughed I laughed and when they cried I cried. It was a very emotional movie. I don’t think I could feel the same way about love and look at life the way I do now if I would not have seen this movie.

It Gives You A Great Laugh!!!
I loved it and I thought it was hilarious! But... if you haven't had "the talk" yet, you might think it's uncomfortable. Just to tell you--- "the talk" is when somebody you trust talks to you about maturing, maturity, and other things.

This movie has some cheesiness (but that doesn't mean it deserves one star). It was a good movie. I felt the plot line was original and the actors were very well chosen. The thing I liked most is that unlike most romantic comedies now a days, this movie did not create laughs through the chaos of the lustful relationship... finally a smart romance! I will definitely watch this one again.

A great movie for they whole family.
When in Rome is a romantic comedy. The actors in this movie did a phenomenal job on portraying there characters very well. This was an amazing movie and I would recommend anyone to go see it. It is not one of those romantic movies that only couples would go see it is a movie for everyone to go see and enjoy. When in Rome shows very beautiful and historic scenery in Rome and New York City. After I seen it, it was the only thing I could talk about because it was so hilarious. I loved the movie and I suggest that everyone go and see it.
