I've said it before and I'm not afraid to say it again - Hollywood has pretty much run out of ideas. Most films that are released are either sequels or remakes or book adaptations or hybrids of other movies. I'm going to say that "Monte Carlo" is a mix of "Big Business" and "White Chicks".

It’s there that he meets Lily (Megan Fox), a beautiful girl with wings… yes, actual wings that she was born with. Nate thinks … [Read more...] about Passion Play
