Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

kelseydanielle-81199 Disregard the bad rating and reviews for this movie. It's a great film for the whole family and for all ages. There really isn't anything to complain about in the whole film. There's a few parts that actually show/teach good character of a person. It's funny, fun, sweet, innocent, and just a good film!

faronyoung23 I love this movie. It reminds me so much of the old travel movies that I am sure the director, like me, grew up watching. It's a great movie and a guilty pleasure of mine to watch. So many movies out there deal with sex and profanity that when a movie like this comes along it is very refreshing. The music is great as are the location settings. The actors all do wonderful jobs. I've read the complaints and I think this movies stands well on it's own despite it's simplicity.

mattkratz I think Leonard Maltin was right in his review about this movie:this should have been a better movie. It wasn't too bad, as it was fun watching Selena Gomez in a dual role as an ordinary girl from Texas and a snotty British heiress. This was an OK film about a girl from Texas who saves up with tip money from her job as a waitress to go to Paris after her high school graduation with here friend and stepsister, everything goes wrong there, and she winds up in Monte Carlo and gets mistaken for a look-alike British heiress and winds up taking her place in a fundraiser. While the movie has its moments (I loved the scenes in the rundown hotel room in Paris, where they get separated from the tour in Paris, the scenes with both of Gomes's roles, and the fundraising scene), this movie was average at best. I did like it though. The stars were appealing.** out of ****

annevejb As a starting point, Princess Protection and Another Cinderella Story made me hope for a lot from Selena Gomez features. Waverley told me not to always expect that.Compare Ramona And Beezus (2010) with this Monte Carlo (2011) First viewing, both felt watchable but not all that special. From the second viewing Ramona And Beezus took off, for me. I now consider it as impressive wow level, even better than what I hoped for. I am surprised that I could not find a Blu-ray of this.Monte Carlo, why did this still feel as not all that great? It starts in a way that says I should expect a lot, the opening set to Blow Away, by A Fine Frenzy, a Selena sound-alike of pure positive magnetic appeal. Except that soon I was finding the story to be watchable but not so magnetic, other than when soundtrack stuff such as Tweedle Dee, by Line Renaud, is happening.Then, when I was going slowly through the feature to try to identify which soundtrack song was where, the whole thing seemed to have power at the level of Ramona. I can now really like this story, even at full speed.Looking at the recent IMDb reviews, some others do not appear to have noticed a problem, while others noticed the flatness and understood that in different ways. First I read that as showing how difficult the post production stage is to get right. This feature has a fairly low IMDb rating, but it is capable of being extremely enjoyable.
