I can't believe that I'm even suggesting this, but there is an awful Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen direct-to-video movie called "When in Rome." But depending on your kids, they might think it was fun to see some sights in Rome with young girls starring.
I'm now hanging my head in shame.

We've watched quite a few movies to familiarize my kids with some of the places we'll be visiting. My daughter is 11 and my son is turning 14. My daughter was much more interested in most of the movies, but my son watched a few of the more "action" based ones...
The ones I can remember are: Angels and Demons, Only You, Under the Tuscan Sun, TheTourist, Roman Holiday, The Agony and the Esctasy, a documentary on Pompeii, My Life in Ruins (we'll be in Athens-we're going on a cruise as well as spending time in Italy after), and my son and I watched Gladiator - but I wouldn't exactly say that's tween appropriate since it's rated R. Oh, we also saw Letters To Julliette.
I think it's been a great idea for them, especially my daughter to see some of the area we'll be visiting. And we've enjoyed our "International Movie Night"!

I was going to name some of the same movies that ShellD suggested, but I was unsure of what you considered "family friendly" (everyone has different standards).
If you want more information on the content of these movies to judge for yourself, IMDb (the movie database at IMDb.com) has a feature called "Parents Guide: View Content Advisory." You can look up a movie and find what people have posted regarding the content of the movie. Contributions are supposed to be fact based, not opinions, so the review might mention a specific scene. (For example, for "Gladiator" one comment says that "The villain says that the hero's wife 'moaned like a whore when (his men) ....'"
