After watching the film... I mean the two minute trailer that provided more than enough character development, plot and conflict to avoid ever watching this film.....
It's the Prince and the Pauper story spit out again. This could have been a Lindsey Lohan movie but more likely an Olsen sisters yawn. As far as this film goes... I mean the two minute trailer, you can't ooze obviousness (thanks Mr. Bukowski) more than Monte Carlo.
Isn't there another Prince and the Pauper story now playing? The Devil's Double? That one looks pretty intense but they should have called it Son of Saddam.
Monte Carlo looks like a commercial for a product that you quickly forget once the commercial is over.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, I don't think Charles Bukowski would enjoy the plot, but I think he'd watch it for the young girls.
Don't even watch the trailer.
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.
