While I found this not nearly as bad as Holiday in the Sun, that might just my personal reaction to it being set in beautiful Paris whereas Holiday was in a cheesy phony beach resort. The storyline is nearly exactly the same, with the Twins latching onto the first Cute Guys that come along (“I can’t understand what he’s saying,” “Duh! Who cares?” and I thought men were supposed to have one-track minds lol… there’s hope though: this movie ends with the Twins shock-horror forgoing the other Cute Guys – yes they have one in every continent, you know – they left back at highschool to do homework instead!) and ditching their careless carer to discover “the real Paris” (uh-oh).

It does have some really cute moments though – even the CGI Louvre scene. The background cast are actually very good, the chef and butler of the Twins’ grandfather (who happens to be the US Ambassador to Paris here), and I loved the character of Jeremy, who chaperones the girls around the city (or is supposed to) while grandpa is busy – the storyline of the girls matchmaking him and a supermodel and waking him up to be more pro-active with his ideas in front of his boss, while for obvious reasons very simple and kid-friendly, is welcome relief from the awful story with the two braindead French guys. Outtakes play through the end credits as usual and they’re, as usual, more fun than the movie itself.
