When In Rome (PG)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Oh my. Disney push the limits of abject banality with this exercise in feel-good that will make anyone of even moderate intelligence feel very bad.
Kristen Bell plays a New Yorker who, in Rome for her sister's wedding, scoops out of a fountain a handful of coins that, by magic, win her a bunch of suitors/borderline stalkers, including Danny DeVito as a sausage manufacturer, Jon Heder as a street magician, and a nice-guy reporter (Josh Duhamel) whom she actually likes. There is something about Italy that appeals to the inner cretin of American film-makers, as those who saw Letters to Juliet can testify. This doesn't compete for soppiness, but in terms of irritating whimsy, cultural condescension and quarter-witted comedy it's every bit an equal.
