Monte Carlo Reviews

Pretty cute lighthearted teenager filled rom-com...

Okay movie for tween girls to watch. (I can't imagine it's appeal would go too much further than that). Young cast are all good here in a far fetched little story about mistaken identity. Not something I would watch again, or was anxious to see in the first place, but pleasant enough use of an hour and a half. I think the scenery around Paris was actually more interesting than the thin little plot, but for what it is, it's okay. It's extremely Disney (I have no idea if it is Disney or not, or it just comes across like it). Happy ending for all.

Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Good movie. I enjoyed it pretty nice, although the main idea of the story was not original in a way nevertheless the story plays out well and spot on. Great young cast with potential.

A young woman, her uptight step sister and her best friend use their savings for a long anticipated dream trip to Paris, which turns out to be a big disappointment. When they decide to take a break from their lousy tour and duck into the lobby of a luxury hotel, one of them is mistaken for a spoiled British heiress. Before they get the chance to reveal their true identities they are wrapped up in misadventures during a vacation to Monte Carlo instead.

Mash between a family movie and a chick flick wannabe makes Selena Gomez loo ugly, along with those other two chicks. The dresses they wear are hideous, somewhat like this film.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't be saying MONTE CARLO is that bad. It's just not anything good. Selena Gomez, in paraphrasing, claimed that it was her chance to break away from the Disney Channel and become her own thing. Nicely said, for once, but really? Even if this wasn't distributed by the Walt Disney Corporation at all, it has Gomez's past career as a Disney Channel star written in every nook and cranny of it. So if she wanted to really do that, she should have auditioned in 2010 for VALENTINE'S DAY, because all they needed for that film was a well-known cast with no acting skills!

Speaking of acting skills, Selena really needs to work on her accent. The questions similar to, "Are you sure you're British?" were clearly worked into the script AFTER Gomez was cast. She should really go back to WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE, where she can simply wave a magic wand and everything will be perfect with just the use of Disney's money. It's nearly implausible that any other distributor would allow Gomez to cheat them into a bad film. (Maybe it wasn't just Selena's fault.)

I saw this film by chance. It wasn't really geared for my demographic; so if I had been a 12 y.o. girl I would have rated this much higher.
The film ran like a Disney teen sitcom. The main character has problems at home and she's graduating high school. Looking forward to a trip to Paris where things don't go as planned.
Then theres a love interest for each of the leading ladies, and because they each found a man there's a happy ending. Very typical, but your teenage daughter will eat it right up.

The movie took 45 minutes to actually get to the titular location...and yet, I didn't want the exposition to end! Upon seeing the movie poster, I wondered what 18-year-old Selena Gomez was doing in a buddy movie with two older actresses, but the relationship between them and each of their intricate pasts is actually revealed pretty evenly.

(*Spoiler Alert* Grace is a small-town bumpkin of sorts, whose best friend is an of-legal-age, stuck-in-a-rut waitress, who was high school rivals with Grace's stepsister, who's dealing with my-mom-died baggage. Are we up to speed now?)

There are some genuinely nice sisterhood of traveling pants moments - literally (ALL the dresses in Cordelia's luggage fitting ALL the girls?) and figuratively (Emma and Meg gushing about their respective beaux).

Selena Gomez does better than Miley Cyrus, carrying her first lead movie role, but methinks she needs to work on her "regular face" a little more. I have trouble working my own dead face, so I can't really judge her, but when she plays "regular girl," she gets extremely flat. Only when she's being awkward or snarky (like on "Wizards of Waverly Place") does her face shine. I guess it's lucky that her first lead movie role comes with a bitchy, British doppelganger. She is spot-on as Cordelia, the...well, bitchy, British doppelganger.

I've never been a fan of Leighton Meester, but I kind of get her appeal now. She's actually kinda funny and exuberant in a my-mom-died way.

Nerdy tidbit: All the place names look like they're written in the same font used in The 400 Blows. If you watch all the credits, you'll even see a quaint "FIN" at the end.

Monte Carlo is about three young women who are vacationing in Paris, when suddenly one of these girls (Grace) is mistaken for a heiress who just so happens to look like her. And instead of telling the truth about her identity, she and her friends decide to play along. They later find themselves in Monte Carlo, where they live a life of fame, love, richness, and pleasure.

If you are a fan of Selena Gomez, then this is probably why you are interested in seeing this movie. But is it really worth seeing this entire movie, just because Selena Gomez is in it? No. It is not. The story is not very interesting, and it is unoriginal as well. The screenplay is slow and extremely predictable. And another thing is that there seems to be no interesting characters, in a way they all share the same behavior which will give its viewers a suffering. It's nothing new, just an overly exaggerated love story. Cute guys over here, nice shoes over there, an "I love you" right over there, stylish clothing in the wardrobe. Well you get the picture. There are some charming moments though, charming moments in which will appeal to the "Chick-Flick" Lovers. Overall, this so called "Romantic Comedy" fails to bring both laughs, and romance. The only romance you'll find in here is completely silly, predictable, and very dull.

is it dreadful? yes. is it the worst i've seen? well i wouldn't go that far. it's not the worst i've seen in 2011, but it's not even close to good. i have to be honest that the situations are actually kinda funny and sometimes selena gomez can be funny at times. but that's what i can think of that's positive. the story is just random and thrown at you, it will be uneven and silly to you and it's can really be boring. personally, it's passable. D+

This movie is really soft, warm, and fuzzy, and has its moments, but its also silly, but Monte Carlo is more like a road trip, so go see this with a friend, it will be more enjoyble for you, its a fun road trip for everybody, for children, for adults, and for teens.

It was really good. It had tons of high points, lots of funny moments and just overall entertaining (even if it was predictable)

Another one of those Teen movies where you say "As If." Entertaining enough though...Selena Gomez cute and pretty good little actor...I had fun watching this.

This movie goes beyond the wonderful lesson in beauty among imperfections. Definitely full of adventure, and the perfect romance possibility. The only problem was that Selena Gomezâ~s appearance and age donâ(TM)t match; she looks like sheâ(TM)s fourteen, even though sheâ(TM)s around eighteen. Itâ(TM)s very difficult to get past that juvenile face; sheâ(TM)s very pretty though. She played two different roles amazingly when the two characters are complete opposites in personality. If itâ(TM)s not Rome, then itâ(TM)s Paris with sweet romances. The valuable lesson here is to be yourself, and let people accept you for who you are, which surprisingly, a lot of people have trouble with. Society and Hollywood play a big part in destroying peopleâ(TM)s self-esteem. Iâ(TM)m glad I stumbled upon this movie.

i love selena gomez and her acting is so great thats this movie is a big hit and thats why i love it.

Normally I like these types of movies. This one was a major disappointment. This movie was too slow and drawn out and did not move fast enough to keep my interest. The story had a good start to it and it was on the right track just did not get into it like they should have. Teenagers will probably like this as an adult I did not appreciate the time I spent on this movie. Disappointed and not recommending this for people to see.

I apparently had the wrong impression of this movie before I saw it. I thought that these people were friends before leaving, the fact that they all hated eachother though was actaully more entertaining. It was cute and although predictable it did have enough differences and enough humor to not make you wanna go into a coma while watching. I was a little surprised that Selena Gomez only had "Who Says" at the end of the credits. But at least this wasn't her frist venture all about her.

Meh. Not bad, but squarely middle of the road. It's a nice little romance / travel / comedy movie, but it all moves at a relaxed pace and feels longer than it is. You could easily multi-task watching this movie with other chores and not miss much.

It's an unfocused movie, throwing a few too many elements into the mix: Paris vacation, struggling sisters, a little romance, bad road trip, a miraculous look-a-like "coincidence", social class challenges, finding yourself, etc. With all of that going on, it's no wonder there isn't enough time to get a strong take-away on any of it.

The more I just think back to the movie in total, the more I just wonder "what was the purpose of that". Although it has a few comedic moments, there are just far too many unexplored elements with a main plot factor that is wholly unbelievable.

it was a very nice movie ,,the story was nice but a bit predictable however it was worth watching the three girls was playing their roles very well ,
the movie is an 8 out of 10

This is a very predictable movie, but I found it very enjoable. I thought all the characters did very well together. Just a cute movie to pass the time.

Your typical coming of age adventure in a foriegn place. My 9 year old daughter loved it, and I thought it was cute. Gomez is adorable, and Meester is very believable.
