Storyline

A young woman, her uptight step sister and her best friend 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 lousy tour and duck into the lobby of a luxury hotel, one of them is mistaken for a spoiled British heiress. Before they get the chance to reveal their true identities they are wrapped up in misadventures during a vacation to Monte Carlo instead.

User Reviews

Selena Gomez is meh

And could use a diet regimen to shrink her face, but Emma is hot and Meg is hawt... there is a little bit of skin shown so not bad. The story remains unoriginal, but I was here for the skin.
