Summary: Adventures in Rome
Review: "When In Rome" continues the Olsen twins world tour of movies, this time taking the girls to Rome for a summer fashion internship.

THE STORY:

It's summer and Charlie and Leila Hunter (Mary-Kate and Ashley) earn a summer internship at an International Fashion company in Rome. Once in Rome the girls embark on a rollercoaster ride of adventure as they struggle to keep their jobs, battle off rival interns, thwart a hostile corporate takeover plot and of course engage in Romance with some cute boys.

THE ANALYSIS:

All in all, "When In Rome" includes all the action, adventure and romance you've come to expect from an Olsen Twins film. It's pure clean fun for the whole family.

THE DVD SPECIAL FEATURES:

Like most Olsen DVDs you've got a stuffed DVD features section, but unfortunately most of it is fluff. Included in the DVD special features are:

1.Behind the Scenes mini-feature: 9 1/2 minute feature where the cast and crew (primarily the twins) talk about the movie, their experiences filming it, the various characters in the film and their experiences touring Rome.

2.Alternate ending. I actually this ending better than the actual one...

3.Trailers: The Multi-million dollar Olsen marketing machine was in full force here!!! The twins shill the following from their extensive product line:

a."When In Rome" Movie Trailer

b."Sweet 16" Videogame

c."When In Rome" Soundtrack

d.Their extensive DVD/Video Catalog

e.Their "So Little Time" tv series action dolls.

f.Their line of books

g.The "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action" cartoon series on ABC.

h.Their website "MarykateandAshley.com" where you can get all the latest information!!!

i.And finally and a "non-related" trailer, the trailer for the Scooby Doo movie (????)

THE VERDICT:

In all, overselling in the DVD features aside, the movie was great for a family viewing on the weekend. Olsen fans should love this installment in their ever-growing "world tour" video franchise series and parents should be pleased with another clean, quality product from America's favorite twins. Overall, not a bad addition to their franchise and a fine choice to add to your Olsen collection if your so inclined.

GRADES:

Film: 4 stars
Extras: 3.5 stars
Overall: 3.75 stars

Highly Recommended

Summary: CLASSIC MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY
Review:
Like all their other movies, "When In Rome" was poorly acted, concentrating mainly on fashion and guys. I have seen every Olsen movie from the their detective years to their teens, with the exception of "Getting There". However, I don't believe I missed much.

Overall, this movie was simply boring. The only good part in this were when you saw the beautiful shots of Rome. "When In Rome" started out with the twins waking up and prancing around their balcony taking pictures. (and they say Ryan is spoiled?) The entire movie consisted Mary-Kate and Ashley starting their internship at a fashion company, getting fired, Palo driving Charli (or is it Leila? Who can tell them apart??) around Rome, the twins meeting their boss who invites them to his beach town (yes, he owns the whole town), Leila meeting Ryan and riding around in his car, their boss and other boss getting together, the twins getting re-hired,and the twins discovering that yet another of their bosses is stealing clothes from the company because he was jealous that the head boss got all the attention.
The only thing that's remotely suspenseful is THE QUESTION. Who will be picked to be an intern next summer and go to New York?? Hmmm... could it be.... MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY??

OK, it might sound like I'm a hater, but I'm not. I liked Billboard Dad, Switching Goals, Passport to Paris, Our Lips Are Sealed, Holiday In the Sun and Winning London (etc.) just fine. I mean, they were terrible movies, but at least they were fun. The only question I have is if they're so "fashion-forward" and are working for a fashion designer company and Charli's fashion sketches are so brilliant, than why do their clothes look like they got them from Goodwill?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A bit disapointing but still mary-kate and ashley style
Review: All i can say is that this movie is cheesier than cheese. OOOhhhh - Mary kate and Ashley get fired from a job. WOW. I'm sooooo worried now. Who gives a crap? It's the worst storyline i have EVER seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: Another great movie by the olsen twins. i think the older they get the better the movies get. It is so good. Mary-Kate and Ashley play 2 girls that go on a trip to rome and get their first jobs. Everything goes wrong. you will have to see what happens next. The DVD has loads of extras. Including behind the scenes. some people say that mary-kate and ashley are talentless but they are wrong. Mary-kate and ashley are great actresses, their acting skills are getting better and better. This film is a must have for all mary-kate and ashley fans.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not expecting...
Review: I am not expecting much out of this movie. The other one - "Getting There" was bad. I read the plot of this one, and it sounds like all of the other ones. I was lucky enough to rent the other movie. I sugest you to do that. Enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: as good as it gets for the Olsen twins
Review: I bought this movie, because my friend was in Rome filming it, and I wanted to see him in it, but also because I am 75% Italian, and I have been all over Italy and go almost once a year. Beautiful shots of Rome really take you into the Italian feeling. Mary-Kate and Ashley are cute in all there movies, but especially this one. I was waiting forever for them to go to Rome! The actor who played Paulo I am extremely impressed with, because he spoke wonderful English, and reminded me of my Cousin who lives in Rome. The other girls, sadly enough, I could not understand one word of their English (okay, so I exagerate a little) but, in the end, it was a cute movie, so if you get around to it watch it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Like the twins, hate this movie
Review: I can't write an in-depth review of this because I couldn't finish watching the DVD. I thought it was boring. It never went anywhere. The movie flips through a few coffee scenes and undelivered packages. I love Mary Kate and Ashley though. I've grown up with them since Full House. My favorite video was "Holiday in the Sun" which I felt had a better plot and numerous outfit changes. This movie was far too serious to be enjoyable, much like "Winning London." I'll still keep renting their videos, but this one was one of my least favorites, besides "Getting There."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie ever!
Review: I don't know why other people thought this movie was bad! Don't listen to them! Me and all my friends watched it and loved it. Everyone who has seen it that I know loved it!It's a good douse of hip mary-kate and ashley fun and who can't love it when the two best actors in the world are actting to their full potential. Clearly the best movie I have ever seen

!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Big disappointment! :(
Review: I hate to be a downer on MK & A, because they are lovely and talented girls. But this movie was a huge disappointment. They must have used a completely NEW crew on this film! The editing was sloppy, the script seemed to be incomplete and out of order, and the scenes didn't even fit well together! It was honestly frustrating to watch. My little sister claimed she could have written a better script! Haha. But MK & A are still some of the best role models ever, beautiful, talented, and I am a FAN FOREVER! Let's just hope they can produce more films at the quality of "Our Lips Are Sealed." SIDE COMMENT: to w scott keigwin, if you had watched the behind the scenes on the DVD, you would have noticed that the "fake accents" were actually real! Most of the teens in the movie were literally from Italy, Germany, etc. So maybe they weren't so terrible at the accents after all, eh????

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well,....
Review: I live in Republic of Korea.
so my english grammar has so many problems/¤±/;
please understand it.
Well, I have many Mary kate Ashley's Video.
It is helpful when I studied English listening
but this is same style of Mk Ash. (ex ;holiday in the sun , winning london)
I want to MK & Ash are act different style movies!
but I think it is helpful to Asian for study listening.
especially I offer this video to Korean.

I'd rather buy passport to paris.
It is funny then When in Rome.
