j-38286 First i think that the movie is really funny and is a good movie to watch at the summer . Selena gomez nailed her role and i read that she had to learn how ride a horse or something like that . anyway the production was very good well job for the team behind this movie but i still think this is a great movie and i want to watch it again and again and again .

lisafordeay I mean seriously is this movie trying to be Maid In Manhattan or was I in some sorta dream world where the filmmakers wanted to do another spin on Cinderella again.Selena Gomez plays two parts in this movie. She plays a girl called Grace who travels to Paris with her best friend played by Katie Cassidy and her stepsister Meg played by Leighton Messer.But when she gets mistaken for a British heiress who is ALSO played by Selena Gomez she decides to become her for the day while the real heiress is off gallivanting and being a bad chick. So she ends up going to Monte Carlo instead of staying in the City of Love Paris. From here its what you'd expect in a teen flick; comedy,romance,drama all the special ingredients to make a teen film so with this in mind you'd expect this movie to be my top 10 favourite movies of all time right.......well not exactly. I would say in my top 20 why well lets begin with what I like about this movie the settings of Monte Carlo and Paris. I was in Paris at the city of it back in 2006 and I was in the exact museum as Selena and her CO were and I thought it looked cool also when Selena and her Co again were on top of the Eiffel Tower also Monte Carlo seems to be a cool place to go to,also I liked the charcthers cause they were all great and their backgrounds were OK I guess. Now to the story don't get me wrong like I said I did enjoy this movie but the story was nice but it gets kinda boring in the 2nd half cause its all about boys and Grace's best friend's boyfriend played by Cory Moneith shows up and MAN her friend is portrayed as a spoilt whining brat.Overall I did enjoy this movie and if your from the UK and saw a show called Dr Who then keep a wary eye out for the actress that played Donna with David Tennant, Catherine Tate as Selena Gomez's other half's aunt.Overall im giving this a 6.

michaelzstuff What is wrong with you people???? I just read the review from the guy that said it had been done before. Duh, can you think of any movie that's NEVER been done before? What a stupid statement to make about such a cute, romantic movie. And for the record, I would love to have this buffalo head show me a movie like this one. Clever, clever story, great writing, great acting, excellent photography, just an all around sweet movie. The girls were especially great and I referred it to ten of my friends who all gave it a thumbs up. So, please, don't listen to that Wlly Nilly and go see this movie. It was my idea of a perfect date movie and my wife loved and my friends loved it. What's not to love. A perfect little romantic comedy.

Argemaluco I suppose that many people will excuse the extremely low level of quality from Monte Carlo saying stuff such as "What did you expect? It's just a light comedy made for girls". I have two answers to that point of view: 1) There are some movies "for girls", such as St. Trinian's and Mean Girls, which were funny, interesting and very entertaining, because they had solid screenplays, competent performances and good direction. And number 2) That kind of excuse is only useful to insult the target audience of the film, because it tacitly suggests a level of ignorance in the girls which will avoid them to recognize the low quality of a film made for them. So, in summary: crap is crap regardless of the target audience it was made for.The screenplay from Monte Carlo is absolutely hollow and improbable, something which exacerbates the fact that it is totally unfunny and lacking of any ingenuity. Unfortunately, co-screenwriters Thomas Bezucha (who was also the director), April Blair and Maria Maggenti took the easy route, building the story on the cheap structure of a TV sitcom, free of any creativity, surprises and narrative integrity.As for the performances, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy tried to do their best, but their poorly written characters did not bring them too much to do. Selena Gómez feels listless and not credible at all, at the same time she shows an absolute lack of charisma. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Monte Carlo because it is a horrible film which bored me to tears.
