Okay.
So yesterday, I went to the cinemas and watched Monte Carlo starring Selena Gomez (Alex from Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place), Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl), Katie Cassidy (Nightmare on Elm Street) ad Cory Monteith (Finn, from Glee).
Plot:
A young woman named Grace (Selena Gomez), her uptight stepsister Meg (Leighton Meester) and her best friend Emma (Katie Cassidy) use their savings for a long-anticipated dream trip to Paris, which turns out to be a big disappointment. When they decide to take a break from their tour and duck into the lobby of a posh hotel, Grace is mistaken for a spoiled English heiress named Cordelia Winthrop Scott (also played by Gomez). Before they get the chance to reveal their true identities, they are wrapped up in misadventures during a vacation to Monte Carlo instead. From this point on, their vacation becomes infused with adventure, firefights and paparazzi.

Before I saw the movie, I watched the trailer and at fist I was like, Oh no, not another Hilary Duff movie. Selena was in a remake of a Hilary Duff movie, A Cinderella Story, which is, Another Cinderella Story.
And so I thought that MOnte Carlo was like The Lizzie Mcguire Movie because the movies have so much similarities. Like for example the graduation, the fireworks, THE TWIN/IDENTICAL POPSTAR/FAMOUS MILLIONAIRE, the sneakers/boots, tour in ROME/PARIS, and a lot more.
AFter I watched the movie, I can say that yes, there are similarities but Monte Carlo is totally different from The Lizzie Mcguire Movie.
Even though MOnte Carlo is a great-highly recommended- movie, I still love The Lizzie Mcguire more. It's because I love Lizzie and Gordo's love story -you know, they were best friends and everything but it was not awkward when they fell in love with each other--it was rather sweet.
I am also very contented in the ending of TLM movie.
One of the things I love in Monte Carlo is that there are HOTTIES. (the guys and the girls)
So here's the trailer of Monte Carlo:
The movie was great. Awesome setting : PARIS--Eiffel Tower! and Monte Carlo.
