WHEN IN CHAT — Written by Palahniuk007 on 19.07.2010

Let me introduce a Gonzo-like review of the movie they call WHEN IN ROME. I posted a wonderful snap of this incredible movie but nobody liked it to my despair. But fortunately, player Doooom took interest of my struggling efforts to defend the movie so we started to chat about…

WHEN IN ROME.
Beware: spoilers!

Doooom: "You actually got this on DVD? I thought it was kind of lame. Not a single Veronica Mars reference in there. :("

Me: "Of course I don't have the DVD! My ex-wife does! And I never heard about this movie anyway until I stumbled on the jacket."

Doooom: "Sounds like some lame excuse to me."

Me: "I don't excuse myself! I, Palahniuk, stand for this snap. I stand for this wonderful romantic comedy with unknown actors. I cried, I laughed, I applaused during the whole screening. I even mumbled lines of dialogues in my sleep after that. This is the BEST movie of 2010 if you wanna know the truth!"

Doooom: "Good. Cause i just wanted to test you. But now I know you loved this movie as much as I did. I mean. It got Veronica Mars in it. And Will Arnett. And the pie-maker from Pushing Daisies. And some silly magician. And even the twin brother of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And they are all* together in one car - in an elevator. So how can anyone NOT love this movie? *except the pie-maker"

Me: "And what about the coins in the fountain? Isn't it cool? Isn't it a GREAT IDEA! How she grabs the coins and … BAM! We discover brand new characters out of the blue making silly faces! I didn't understand right away what was happening because I'm slow. It took me like 20 minutes to get the concept. And that's why I love this movie. It makes you… CLEVER!"

Doooom: "Yeah, the coins are great. At least there are some movies with a creative and still logical premise nowadays. But who would have thought the last coin belonged to the priest? Ok, I did and the guys who set behind respectively in front of me in the cinema did, but that's not the point. It's still absolutely surprising. And who would've thought she ends up with this nice and charming guy. I certainly didn't. I was sure she would marry the small, old one."

Me: "Actually I was terrorized she would marry them all. Because my feminine side wanted her to sleep with ALL of them. After all, they're charming in a certain way. They're funny too! And they promise her a lot of things that EVEN ME cannot refuse. For example: how can she says no when the little guy offers a basket full of sausages? If you ask me (and if I was a nice blond chick) I would have taken the basket and sleep right away with the guy! The priest? Which priest? I don't remember any priest in the movie because I cried when she ends up with the charming guy. The screen was too blurry and I didn't have kleenex to dry my tears for me to be able to read the subtitles."

That's it.

I hope this review will help you to make the right choice.
