I watch this film many, many times, at least once a week, and I always feel such a pleasure. It is a rare script for our time. There is no blood, murders, brutal exposed sex, violence, cruelty, sadism, vampires, lesbians. All those things that inundate the screen in these days purposely. Just beautiful fairy-tail, well written story, with beautiful actors and actresses, shot in stunning, amazing locations. What is better than that, to watch a film without counting the dead, ferociously murdered people? For some it could be a naive film, but it is a film, one on thousands, shot in the last years without violence and crimes. This is one of the few films that you can watch and relax and enjoy it. I wish there would be more films like this one. Thank you to the writer and director who gave me that pleasure. Make more!

Grace (Selena Gomez),a small town Texas girl has been saving up for 4 years through High School to go to Paris. She is excited about going with her friend Emma (Katie Cassidy) who seems to be a bit of a floozy- shoes she says, "If they ain't hurtin' they ain't helpin'. However Dad wants her to take along her step sister Meg (Leighton Meester)who is not exactly welcomed as she looks too much like Kristen Stewart with the blood drained out of her and acts about the same.

The three are in Paris having a miserable time because their tour is inanely rushing them. It isn't long before they become separated.

Grace is mistaken for Cordelia Winthrop Scott, British heiress and the 3 Cinderellas end up in Monte Carlo, dressed up and going to a ball. At this point the plot is pretty well established. The acting was less than expected, as was the script. Comedy is very light. This is perhaps a young teen female movie. Originally Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts were supposed to star in this film, but the producers wanted a younger cast...guess how that worked out?

No bad language, so sex, no nudity.

If you think you will be seeing a remake of the Marlene Dietrich/Vittorio DeSica film from the Fifties then you'd better turn the dial. This Monte Carlo stars Selena Gomez in two roles, one as a kid from Texas who with her sister and stepsister Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy get a Parisian vacation for graduation. But they miss their tour bus and then Selena is mistaken for a British version of Paris Hilton.

The British Selena is supposed to be in Monte Carlo to auction off a necklace of her's to help build schools in Romania. So off they go as professional rich celebrity and accompanying Bffs.

Naturally they all find romance Gomez with rich Pierre Boulanger, Meester with Australian tourist Luke Bracey, and Cassidy has her boyfriend from Texas Cory Monteith chasing her down to proclaim his true intentions. But the real British celebrity arrives and almost spoils everybody's plans. I say almost because you know that in a Disney Network film there has to be a happy ending.

Nothing new here, it was done with much bigger stars back in the Fifties as Three Coins In The Fountain set in Rome. American girls finding continental love is as old a theme as it gets in films.

But these are beautiful boys and girls and that never gets tiring.
