[reading an article in a Spanish magazine]
Brooke: It's about Rosie and her mom. One of them has fled the country, and one is in prison or a paper bag. I keep getting those two mixed up.

PPP was better then I thought.

I am not a teenager, but i love movies i heard about Princess Protection Program. and decided to watch it. I thought the movie was good. this movie was better then i thought it was going to be. Demi Lovato plays a 16 year old princess from a small country who is forced to leave her country to avoid being taken prisoner. by the ruthless general Cain. Rosie played by Demi Lovato is recued by a CIA agent and taken to his home. Selena Gomez is Carter the CIA agent's 16 year old daughter who he recriuts to help Rosie blend in as a normal 16 year old girl. with out giving to much away this a fish out of water story. This is one of the better Disney movies. Demi Lovato was adorable as Rosie,and Selena Gomez took a chance with this role, see at the beganning of the movie Carter was not very likable, but as the movie went on Carter played Gomez became as adorable as princess Rosie. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato work well together. the story was good. the acting was good. Selena Gomez might the best actress of all the teens queens. now the movie is not very realistic, remember this Disney.
