What to Know

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 Oct 21, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard A comprehensive waste of time and money. Rated: 2/5 Oct 21, 2011 Full Review Michael Hann Guardian [A] good-natured but insipid vehicle for tween star Selena Gomez... Rated: 2/5 Oct 20, 2011 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Monte Carlo -- it's as a pretty as a picture. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk 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. Mar 12, 2012 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis More gum-popping than jaw-dropping, it's the kind of light entertainment that Elvis used to make. Rated: 6/10 Dec 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

James C It’s bad, terrible, and stupid. This movie deserves to fall off a cliff. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Tomisin O Good movie, but I can't believe we didn't find out why the two characters looked so alike! Disappointing! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Elias R One of the movies that you watch over and over again and continue to fascinate you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review laura sofia a 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Ashley H The only great thing about the movie was Selena Gomez. The story line, I hate to say, was not good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Arun S 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
