Grace Bennett is eighteen years old, lives in Texas, and works as a waitress at a restaurant with her best friend, Emma Perkins, who dropped out of high school. For a long time, she has been saving money in a jar labeled “Grace's Paris Fund,” because she dreams of traveling to the city after graduating and before starting college in New York. Her stepfather decides to pay for the trip for his stepdaughter, Meg Kelly, a very strict young woman who doesn't fit with the plans of the two friends.

Trivia about Monte Carlo

To play her character, Selena Gomez spent several weeks learning to play polo and practicing how to fake an English accent.

The first script had three schoolteachers. In 2010, the executives rewrote it to make it younger, turning them into two college students and a recent high school graduate.

Monte Carlo is the first film to use the Raleigh Studios Budapest film studio.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie a 40% based on 90 reviews, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 10.

Production began on May 5, 2010 in Harghita, Romania, while Budapest stood in for Paris and Monte Carlo in several scenes.

Filming included four days in Paris and two weeks in Monaco; the rest was shot mainly in Hungary.

The Eiffel Tower was closed to the crew for a night shoot that Selena Gomez described as taking place at three in the morning.

Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts were initially considered as the leads, but the producers later opted for a younger cast; Kidman remained as a producer.
