If you missed MONTE CARLO in theaters, the film is now out on DVD and Blu-ray. This release brings a bright, breezy blend of friendship and travel to North American home viewing, giving audiences a chance to revisit a sunlit Paris trip from the comfort of the couch. The movie follows Grace and Emma as they pool savings to celebrate graduation with a dream escape. The addition of Emma’s uptight future stepsister adds a dose of clash and comedy, and the trio’s dynamic fuels much of the film’s warmth. While the centerpiece is a lighthearted adventure, the heart comes from the way the girls grow through the day-to-day moments of travel mishaps, new friendships, and the thrill of behaving like grown-ups for the first time. The home release makes it easy to relive those moments with family and friends, and it suits a casual night in or a planned movie night with snacks and a blanket.
Starring Selena Gomez as Grace and Katie Cassidy as Emma, with Leighton Meester stepping into the role of Emma’s future stepsister, the three women head to Paris after graduation in search of a memorable experience. The trip begins rough and hectic, but a mistaken identity shifts Grace into the role of a British heiress, opening doors to a lavish Monte Carlo charity event. There the young travelers navigate fashion, flirtation, and new friendships while learning about themselves and the bond that holds them together.
Even with familiar beats in the plot, the energy comes from the chemistry among the performers and the sunny mood that carries the story. Gomez, Cassidy, and Meester form a natural and endearing trio that makes the scenes feel true to life. Cory Monteith, known for the TV musical series Glee, adds a light touch that enhances several moments. The tone stays bright and accessible, making the film a solid option for a sleepover or a casual weekend watch. Fans who enjoyed The Lizzie McGuire Movie will recognize a similar spirit here, with a focus on friendship, discovery, and the small joys of growing up.
On the DVD Blu-ray release, extras expand the experience for viewers who want more from the Monte Carlo moment. Deleted scenes
