Am I Missing Something?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

View MoreI think Leonard Maltin was right in his review about this movie:this should have been a better movie. It wasn't too bad, as it was fun watching Selena Gomez in a dual role as an ordinary girl from Texas and a snotty British heiress. This was an OK film about a girl from Texas who saves up with tip money from her job as a waitress to go to Paris after her high school graduation with here friend and stepsister, everything goes wrong there, and she winds up in Monte Carlo and gets mistaken for a look-alike British heiress and winds up taking her place in a fundraiser. While the movie has its moments (I loved the scenes in the rundown hotel room in Paris, where they get separated from the tour in Paris, the scenes with both of Gomes's roles, and the fundraising scene), this movie was average at best. I did like it though. The stars were appealing.** out of ****
View MoreI 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!
View MoreI mean seriously is this movie trying to be Maid In Manhattan or was I in some sorta dream world where the filmmakers wanted to do another spin on Cinderella again.Selena Gomez plays two parts in this movie. She plays a girl called Grace who travels to Paris with her best friend played by Katie Cassidy and her stepsister Meg played by Leighton Messer.But when she gets mistaken for a British heiress who is ALSO played by Selena Gomez she decides to become her for the day while the real heiress is off gallivanting and being a bad chick. So she ends up going to Monte Carlo instead of staying in the City of Love Paris. From here its what you'd expect in a teen flick; comedy,romance,drama all the special ingredients to make a teen film so with this in mind you'd expect this movie to be my top 10 favourite movies of all time right.......well not exactly. I would say in my top 20 why well lets begin with what I like about this movie the settings of Monte Carlo and Paris. I was in Paris at the city of it back in 2006 and I was in the exact museum as Selena and her CO were and I thought it looked cool also when Selena and her Co again were on top of the Eiffel Tower also Monte Carlo seems to be a cool place to go to,also I liked the charcthers cause they were all great and their backgrounds were OK I guess. Now to the story don't get me wrong like I said I did enjoy this movie but the story was nice but it gets kinda boring in the 2nd half cause its all about boys and Grace's best friend's boyfriend played by Cory Moneith shows up and MAN her friend is portrayed as a spoilt whining brat.Overall I did enjoy this movie and if your from the UK and saw a show called Dr Who then keep a wary eye out for the actress that played Donna with David Tennant, Catherine Tate as Selena Gomez's other half's aunt.Overall im giving this a 6.
View MoreWhat is wrong with you people???? I just read the review from the guy that said it had been done before. Duh, can you think of any movie that's NEVER been done before? What a stupid statement to make about such a cute, romantic movie. And for the record, I would love to have this buffalo head show me a movie like this one. Clever, clever story, great writing, great acting, excellent photography, just an all around sweet movie. The girls were especially great and I referred it to ten of my friends who all gave it a thumbs up. So, please, don't listen to that Wlly Nilly and go see this movie. It was my idea of a perfect date movie and my wife loved and my friends loved it. What's not to love. A perfect little romantic comedy.
