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.

1/5
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. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 10/21/2011

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. Go to Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis 12/29/2011

More gum-popping than jaw-dropping, it's the kind of light entertainment that Elvis used to make. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 14 Monte Carlo is a fun, lighthearted comedy starring Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy. The film follows three young women on a whimsical European adventure, and while the plot is occasionally off-kilter, it keeps the audience entertained throughout. The cast delivers strong performances, with genuine chemistry that makes even the film’s sillier moments enjoyable. The screenplay has predictable beats and could use more depth, but it remains creative enough to elicit laughs and keep viewers engaged. Director Thomas Bezucha balances humor, romance, and adventure well, and the stunning visuals of Paris and Monte Carlo add to the film’s escapist charm. While not a cinematic masterpiece, it’s a breezy, feel-good story that succeeds in being charming, entertaining, and family-friendly. For those seeking a light, enjoyable comedy, Monte Carlo delivers a delightful experience..
