Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"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

Teenage sisters Charli and Lola are on the verge of an experience beyond their wildest dreams! Pack your bags and jet off to Rome as the girls start their summer internship working for the legendary Derek Hanson - the totally cool international tycoon whose empire reaches from airlines to cutting-edge fashion. Amid the fabulous sights of this exciting city, the girls do their best to impress their boss, while still finding time to design their own line of very hip clothing, meet some very cute guys and turn their summer abroad into one awesome adventure they - and you - will never forget!
