This post brought to you by Monte Carlo. All opinions are 100% mine.
When I was young, I was always a big fan of horror movies. Now that I am older and have children of my own, it is the romantic comedies that tickle my fancy. Life is stressful enough and sometimes you just want a nice light movie that makes you laugh.
Selena Gomez is a huge name around our house. Both my boys AND my daughter love her and when I showed them the trailer for Monte Carlo, they immediately asked me if we can go to see it.
Grace (Selena Gomez) is an ordinary girl who becomes an accidental heiress when a summer trip to Paris turns into the fantasy of a lifetime (although as far as I am concerned, just the trip to Paris is a fantasy of a lifetime!). After saving all her life in order to go to Paris, her dream trip is not all that it is cracked up to be...bad tours, crummy hotels and more plague her trip.
That all changes when she is mistaken for a British socialite named Cordelia. She and her friends decide to "go with it" and assume Cordelia's life of privilege and they head to Monte Carlo.
Of course, what would a romantic comedy be without the romance? Grace soon meets a gorgeous young Frenchman and there are love interests for her friends. In between the chance-of-a-lifetime adventures, the three girls discover that the greatest adventure is finding out who they really are.
Monte Carlo has been added to my list of must-see Summer Movies. It looks like a nice wholesome movie that not only entertains, but will teach pre-teens a valuable lesson about the importance of being true to yourself.
So head on over to Fandango to check movie times and grab tickets....this is going to be a hot movie this summer! In the meantime, you can always head to the Monte Carlo Facebook page and chat with other Monte Carlo and Selena Gomez fans!
