Storyline

When Melanie and Ally Porter visit France, they pack their bags for fun and plot a rendezvous with adventure! Sent to Paris to visit their grandfather, the girls fall in love with France and fall head-over heels for two French boys! Sightseeing on mopeds, they race around Paris on a mission to see the city, make new friends and stay one step ahead of their uptight chaperon. From shopping at French boutiques, to exploring Notre Dame and dinner dates at the Eiffle Tower, it's one hilarious exploit after another.

User Reviews

Recycled

I sat through this movie while babysitting, my eyes glued to the screen for one thing only - a glimpse of the Paris Opera House. The one thing I could have seen that would have enriched my night of recycled, plotless drivel. Having seen many of the Mary-Kate and Ashley movies over the years spent taking care of children, I could easily say that this one is no different, and no more or less than I came to expect; light-hearted, overly sweet, and predictable. I would suggest, for the target group, that you find something more challenging to their intellect - perhaps James and the Giant Peach, or the Wallace And Gromit videos.
