Nice effects though.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This time poor darling Katie gets to go to France without being kidnapped? Anybody else, who when they see her living it up in a French hotel, keep expecting the evil abductors to come rushing in to grab her and carry her off?To parrot one of the other reviewers: Could have been a Walt Disney movie. Has exactly the same structure, down to the ultimately toothless bad girl villain. Just here, it got the big studio treatment.The Crazy Credits entry here on IMDb is absolutely wrong. There are several "location markers" scattered throughout the movie, and, yes, 31 minutes in one appears for Monte Carlo, but that is not the title. The title appears as could be expected at the beginning. Somebody who dozed off made that entry, and it's made fools out of all you lot, 'cause nobody latched on. Or, like me, just don't have the savvy to get rid of the stupid mistake. I tried, but found no such option. Leighton Meester, the girl from GOSSIP GIRL, which I have yet to see, not what I expected. Selena Gomez has her very, very fresh look, but to me it is Katie all the way. Katie, Katie, Katie. Love that scene on the bed early on in the movie, when they've usurped their ill-begotten room. Darling! And Katie's lovely long legs when she goes up the steps (seen from behind), her soft foot sole, and, of course, that foxy little face. Yes, I have made a thorough study of her.I did not buy it for the story, but for the pretty girls. There is an abundance of (a) the backs of Katie's legs, and (b) elevator doors opening and closing. Ideal drinking game cues. Katie's legs would be the nicest way to get thoroughly intoxicated.Another serious review brought to you by chick- obsessed old RavenGlamDVDCollector. On a heartwarming note, would just like to add, I love that bit where Owen said that he had everything in the truck that he wanted, meaning Emma. If I had a chick like that, I'd settle for any old campfire rather than a fancy snooty ritzy no- fun-anyway stuck-up old principality.

Monte Carlo is a combination of very little bit of fun, romance, adventure, beauty, beautiful girl, luxury, etc., which makes it a one time watchable movie as a general on a late night lazy evening and two time watchable for it's exquisite locations, exotic trips and luxury hotels. And if you are a hard core Selena Gomez fan of her music or beauty anyway their will come many pause moments for you as there will be two avatars of Selena's in this movie one a middle class (she is definitely not a poor farm girl) and second the heiress of Monaco empire. Selena do look good in this movie and this movie surely fulfills your fan desires.

How did I come watching film like this? A girl friend I was seeing wanted to see so I went along. I hate films like these. First I am not a girl and it is a typically girl movie, second I am too old for something like this.Since I have to fill lines for this film I will fill them by saying that actors are pretty and costumes are nice. France is fantastic like always, and it is pity that I do not have money to live there.I love France, every bit of it, from Paris to Cote D*Azzure I could freely make France my home, but I still think this film is for someone else. Vive la France and Monaco Aussie!

I'm usually not the person who enjoys these kind of movies, but this in particular I found to be very enjoyable. Yes the mistaken identity plot of the story is not new, however what matters is how it was approached.Shot beautifully on location it feels the atmosphere with European essence. There are no continuous crude and in-your face gags (which is the primary reason I guess many disliked the movie), no trite situations offensive to your intelligence. The movie does not have a frantic pace instead offering a hopelessly romantic and delectable experience with high level acting of all main three heroines and the side characters. Being a "teen oriented" comedy there were some situations that were a bit overly sugar-coated but even then you won't get diabetes from it. In fact I would say this movie is everything that Midnight Paris or To Rome with Love were not.
