When in Rome (film) An ambitious young New York art museum curator, Beth, disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome for her sister’s wedding. There she defiantly plucks some coins from a fountain of love, which inexplicably and magically ignites passion for her in those who had thrown them in. They are an odd group of suitors who show up in New York where they aggressively stalk her: a sausage magnate, a street magician, an adoring painter, and a self-admiring model. But, when a charming reporter pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing? A Touchstone Picture. Directed by Mark Steven Johnson. Released on January 29, 2010.
