Monte Carlo -- it's as a pretty as a picture.

| Nov 16, 2019

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.

| Original Score: B | Feb 18, 2012

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

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 29, 2011

So corny that a cereal company could have sponsored it...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 26, 2011

Short on wit and invention, the film comes over as Texas's answer to Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.

| Oct 23, 2011

Harmless enough to a point... but the idea that girls should aspire to little more than acquiring a boyfriend, a home or a brand-new pair of Blahniks will be desperately depressing for any parents dragged along.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2011

Mature viewers will appreciate the rare lack of bad language in what for them will be a reminder of screwball comedies past.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2011

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 21, 2011

A comprehensive waste of time and money.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 21, 2011

Meester especially is a lot better than this.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

A corny grown-up's vision of teenage wish-fulfilment, like a sexless Sex And The City 2.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 20, 2011

[A] good-natured but insipid vehicle for tween star Selena Gomez...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

Clichd and glitzy, it throws its lots in entirely with the romantic ideal of love and Monaco, but has a bubbling spirit and Meester drives a scooter in Grecian sandals impeccably.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

Gomez, looking every bit the child bride, keeps strutting her actressy ambitions like a pushy diva hogging the dress-up-box.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

Trashily enjoyable thanks to some expertly assembled clichs, an assortment of picturesque locations and likeable chemistry between the three leads.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 20, 2011

This is a film that knows what its teen audience wants - and gives it to it in spades.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2011

Sluggish, witless and desperately twee.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 19, 2011

Glossy entertainment for tweens. Avoid if you're over 14.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2011

Ridiculously contrived, superficial throughout and too sugary, 'Monte Carlo' is still too innocent and convivial to cast too many aspersions on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2011
