What's the best way to get the ultimate European vacation? Simple, trade places with a wealthy British heiress and bring your friends along for the first-class ride.

Look, it really isn't that difficult. Selena Gomez pulls it off no problem in the trailer for her new fun time find-yourself flick Monte Carlo. Check it out and and take notes...

Grace (Gomez) has been saving for a trip to Paris for as long as she can remember. The thought of walking through the magical city has been the sole respite from pep rallys, her lousy waitressing job and all the other trappings of high school life.

And with that kind of anticipation, is it really any shock that once she and her friends Meg (Leighton Meester) and Emma (Katie Cassidy) get there, it turns into the trip from hell? The tour bus leaves them stranded, rows of scooters are knocked over. Really, it's the worst.

But that all quickly turns around when they bump into a British heiress who looks exactly like Grace! Turns out she wants some time off from her hectic life of being rich and famous. That works. A quick switch is made and before you know it, Grace and her friends are enjoying the vacation they deserve, complete with a trip to fabulous Monte Carlo. And with the help of some dreamy European guys, who we all know are charming and romantic all the time, Grace finally gets some time to figure out who she really is.

A lesson that, as movies have taught us, is best learned when you're pretending to be someone else.

Watch the trailer and tell us what you think. Monte Carlo hits theaters July 1.
