 Tagline: All is fair in love and Rome.
An ambitious young New Yorker, disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome, where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of those who threw them in: 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?
For director Mark Steven Johnson, who is best known for comic book adaptations like “Daredevil” and “Ghost Rider,” a comedy like “WHEN IN ROME” is a bit of a departure. In this movie, jokes the director, “no one’s head explodes,” but the film is a return to Johnson’s roots. “Comedy is where I started—writing ‘Grumpy Old Men’—and I really wanted to get back to it.”
Johnson, along with producer Gary Foster, recognized the comedy potential of “WHEN IN ROME.” “I’m a guy, and I’m not a big romantic-comedy guy,” says the director. “I wanted to make a comedy with romance, versus a ‘romantic comedy.’ I wanted to make a comedy that was really funny that also had a big heart to it. We had fun with this film, blowing out a lot of the conventions of a traditional romantic comedy.”
