Monte CarloBest friends Grace (Selena Gomez) and Emma (Katie Cassidy) quit their waitress jobs in small-town Texas and head to Paris for a summer adventure, accompanied by Grace's stepsister, Meg (Leighton Meester). The prepackaged tour fails to meet their expectations, however, and soon their spirits sag. But, when Grace is mistaken for a British socialite named Cordelia, she and her companions head to Monte Carlo to enjoy a week of yacht parties and cute bachelors -- then the real Cordelia arrives. Review: Great movie for the whole family - Written by a Dad - First of all: I don't have a daughter, but 2 sons (4 and 10). While the younger one never saw this movie, our older one loves it. Secondly: I'm a hopeless romantic, loving to watch movies like this with my wife! If any of this disqualifies me in your opinion to write a review on this movie: Don't bother reading any further :) For those of you who are still here: This is a GREAT movie for the whole family to enjoy. It's about facing challenges in a creative way, stepping over one's shadow, connecting with seemingly lost feelings and loosening up. All in all it is a very balanced movie with NO language or sensual scenes, both rare in teen movies nowadays. It reminded me of the "good-old" Audrey Hepburn movies from the 40's and 50's, where movies still had a (positive) message, and the characters didn't end up together after having a few drinks or just got bitten by a vampire! What I liked the most was the way the movie shows the development of the 3 girls while stranded in Europe, and how each one of them had to face one of her inner giants. Yes, the movie obviously borrows from other movies, incl. "Princess Diaries" and "Ice Princess". But it does it in a very witty way that makes it stick out from the copy-cat crowd. It's whole storyline actually makes sense, and one doesn't have to check his/her brain out at the counter. And did I mention that it has great happy-endings? For all of you who were sitting on the fence: Do yourself and your boys/daughters a favor and get it! This movie can/will open room for conversations with your teens. Dads: This is NOT your typical Chick-Flick! It deals with real issues real people have, but keeps it on the lighter side. Lastly: Get it on Blu-ray! The scenes in/around Paris and Monte Carlo and inside the expensive Hotels are worth it! Review: Fun, Romantic, Comedy Adventure - First I rented it then I bought it. This is a fun movie that will take repeated viewings and is suitable for the entire family. I had read nothing about the movie but a very brief synopsis so we watched it for the first time with an open mind. As with all movies, it makes a set of assumptions which you either can, or cannot buy into. I've now read some of the reviews and have noted both kinds of responses, those from viewers who could and those who couldn't. The movie is light-hearted, fun, and fast-paced and both my wife and I were laughing out loud as we watched the story progress. I haven't checked, but it certainly looks like the opening of the movie was set in Texas, it looks like the filming took place somewhere in the western part of Texas for sure. The majority of the movie is set in Paris and Monte Carlo and offers the beautiful scenery usually associated with those locations. Although I rented the movie because it sounded like a chick flick my wife would enjoy, it turned out we both had fun with it and will enjoy watching it again sometime so now I've bought the movie. If you enjoyed the Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks sort of romantic comedy then I suspect you'll enjoy this one too.

A fun and delightful movie.
This movie is a great film to watch with the family. There is something for everyone. Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy were each a perfect fit for their characters and I felt that they had good chemistry working together. Selena and Leighton play step sisters who don't really get along because they never really gave the other a chance. at the end of the movie these two girls learn to appreciate each other as family. A very cute ending. Definitely worth the buy.

Great movie for the entire family
Why all the vitriol from the reviewers? Just looking at the cover tells you what this movie is going to be, and it delivers. I'm not a big Selena Gomez fan by any stretch of the imagination, but my 6-year-old daughter is. She convinced us to order this movie on-demand. My wife and I really enjoyed watching the film with her, so much so that we ended up buying the DVD. Needless to say, that weekend we must have watched this movie like 5 or 6 times, but it never got old! It is a light, fun, and funny movie for everyone. There is romance, adventure, humor, good acting. What's not to like? I think those who gave this movie low marks were expecting something else. An Oscar contender, it isn't. It is what it is, and that ain't bad.
