Best 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.

Critics Consensus

Although it has its charming moments, Monte Carlo is mostly silly, predictable stuff that never pushes beyond the boundaries of formula.

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

A dull fantasy-farce of luxe hotel suites, hot guys and product-placement jewellery, a pretty unappetising mix that the film tries to justify at the end with some blather about Romanian orphanages.

Rated: 1/5

It's all frothy and silly, but Selena Gomez and her co-stars are sweet and appealing and are sure to win over the film's target audience.

More gum-popping than jaw-dropping, it's the kind of light entertainment that Elvis used to make.

The best frends Grace and Emma travel to Munte carlo after Quit their jubs and go to paris for a summer adventure. The trip change when grace is confiused with another rich girl and they have a luxury trip. In my opinin the actors is very good because the plot is very interesting, emma and grace they are my favorite and Meg It's mure boring. I give Montecarlo five star, it is very good to Watch with family

The only great thing about the movie was Selena Gomez. The story line, I hate to say, was not good.

I do have some mixed feelings about this film regarding how the screenplay was constructed but this has been a great comfort film for me. Have seen the film at least 3 times now. Since it has been impossible for me to go to Paris I watch this film to see the sights and sound of the city. Selena was astounding as Grace, her character seemed so nice in face of difficulties in her life. But as Cordelia, I must say that she wasn't exactly up to the mark, and it was a hammy performance. Leighton as Meg was the heart and soul of this film. The bgm and cinematography was perfect.

A cheesy, yet funny rom-com that helped brought back memories of the 2010s where there was the uprising of talents such as Leighton Meester and Selena Gomez. There were charming moments where I can see the lesson of love is filled with sweet and bitterness. The musical arrangement by Michael Giacchino is a highlight that made the film very light and refreshing to watch. With the story being about taking someone else's identity and then the lesson about self-respect and value morals and principles, the film had its moments where the story is not really addressing Monte Carlo except by brief showing of the setting and the mentioning of it a couple times. While it is nice seeing Gomez's character as Grace, I didn't like the Cornelia character as it shows a freakishly pompous girl that doesn't know what to do with her life. It would be uncertain if I would watch this again, but I think it is a film refreshing for a younger audience.
