Plötzlich Star

Monte Carlo is a charming movie for tweens and/or teens. Several other reviewers disliked the movie calling it predictable and boring but I have to vehemently disagree. If you are looking for a cute, adventurous movie with NO SWEARING, NO NUDITY, NO SEXUAL SCENES or INNUENDOS, NO SMOKING, and NO DRUGS then this is the movie for you (and us!)! This movie reminds me of some of the 1960's Disney movies that were plot-wise too old for little kids but still 'safe' for the not quite teenagers.

This is a classic movie about mistaken identity and learning to get along. The 3 main characters in the movies are all very different personalities but they grow and learn to accept each other by the end of the movie. They also have very different 'happy endings' but seeing how different they are, the characters should end happily-ever-after differently.

There are some funny moments, some thinking 'would I do that?' moments, and some 'good for her' moments. You genuinely like each of these characters (except the mean girl) by the end of the show whether you liked them at the beginning or not.

This movie is perfect for its target audience of tweens/early teens and I wish more movies like this were available with today's stars!

This film is the definition of adolescent stupidity because it contains everything that is wrong in a film for teenagers, with a ridiculous and very banal plot, but it is entertaining and also very entertaining and this is terrible because the film is awful and I recognize it, it has absolutely no positive aspect since even the acting is more like a TV series where no one wanted to commit themselves than a film but because of the very tight pace the film manages not to get bored and for this in my opinion it even deserves a very narrow sufficiency which identifies it among those horrible film but not really to throw away because it still manages terribly in the arduous task of entertaining the viewer.

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!

14-year-old Raven Devanney thoroughly enjoyed Monte Carlo. Here's her review:

Monte Carlo is an awesome movie for girl's night. Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy, and Leighton Meester's performances are absolutely fantastic! I really enjoy this movie; it is funny, romantic and extremely entertaining. One thing I find a bit disappointing is that the story line is pretty predictable; however it is made up for by the wonderful acting. The cinematography is excellent and vivid. It truly shows off the beauty of Italy and Monte Carlo. My favorite character is Grace played by Selena Gomez. Grace is so determined to have a great time in Italy and make sure her friends are having a blast. She stays cool and calm even when life takes an unexpected turn and I admire that about her. My favorite scene when Cordelia Winthrop Scott, Grace's look-alike, comes to the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo and Grace and her friends have to scramble around trying to make her hotel room look perfect again so they don't get caught. This scene is very funny and enjoyable. I recommend Monte Carlo for ages 10 and up because there aren't any sexual scenes or inappropriate language, but younger kids may not enjoy the story of young adults traveling to Italy. I give Monte Carlo 4 out of 5 stars because it's a great film for you and your friends! Video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ-q6ZKY7zU

I almost didn't watch the movie because I saw the reviews of others here on IMDb. In the end I decided to try it anyway and was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the story has been done before, and in the end it may not be the most realistic, but that's not why you should want to watch this movie anyway. It's a happy, feel-good movie about following your dreams that, when you finish watching it, leaves you with a smile on your face. I recommend this to anyone with a bit of extra time who just wants to watch a relaxing, cheerful movie like me (a 21 year old girl XD) or for anyone who wants a nice, clean movie to watch for or with their children. Enjoy!
