Monte Carlo is a movie about Grace (Selena Gomez) and her friend Emma (Katie Cassidy) and sister Meg (Leighton Meester) embarking on the trip of a lifetime to lovely Paris, France as a getaway after Grace graduates. When given the circumstances, Grace acts as Cordelia Winthrop Scott, a snooty heiress. Adventures ensue, and love is found but Grace is herself (personality-wose) as she plays Cordelia.

This film is often compared to The Lizzie McGuire Movie, but they have such different characteristics. Monte Carlo is set in Europe, as does the LIzzie McGuire Movie, but as Grace is taking over for Cordelia without Cordelia knowing, Lizzie McGuire is pretty much suckered into becoming Isabella. Both set in Europe, France/Monte Carlo & Rome, the characters embark on impersonations that are polar opposites of their real life. Grace becoming an heiress, and Lizzie becoming an international superstar. Yes, it may be similar plot, but the story lines develop differently, and therefore the movies play out in different ways thus separating them from comparison.
I highly recommend this film for kids up until young adults. It is a happy-go-lucky type of film, and will put a smile on your face.
