Plus, this Royal B.F.F. Extended Edition DVD features an insider s look at the realities and responsibilities of being a real-life princess and lets you listen in as real-life best friends Selena and Demi dish about their lives on and off the set!

DVD Verdict: The film revolves around two girls from two different countries and very different upbringing. Carter Mason (Selena Gomez) works at a bait shop in Louisiana with her father (Tom Verica) who is also employed as an agent of the Princess Protection Program. For Carter, she is often treated badly because she doesn't sport the expensive clothes and the lifestyle of Chelsea (Jamie Chung) and her friends. She likes Donnie (Robert Adamson) but he never recognizes her.

The other girl is Rosalinda (Demi Lovato) who is about to become the queen of Costa Luna. But since the death of her father, there has been an uprising and General Magnus Kane has staged a coup and takes over Costa Luna. Sophia's mother knows that General Kane can't take power as long as her daughter is alive and fortunately, she has the help of the Princess Protection Program to watch her daughter.

The program is funded by the royalty to protect the princess throughout the world and Carter Mason's father who works for the program is ordered to take Princess Rosalinda and bring her to an undisclosed location. As long as Rosalinda is alive and well, General Kane will be unable to hurt her mother or take control of Costa Luna.

But life is tough for both teenage girls. Carter dislikes girls who act like a "princess" and think they deserve attention and Rosalinda, is having difficulties fitting in because she is a princess. And to make things more challenging, Carter's father wants her to attend the local high school and Carter to help her achieve this normal life and not draw any suspicion that she is a real life princess.

But when all the guys start diverting their attention to Rosalinda and the high school students start thinking Rosalinda is very cool, Carter becomes jealous. But Rosalinda does what she can to make her relationship better with Carter but plans keep backfiring. Will these two girls with different lifestyles ever get along? And will Rosalinda ever be able to return to Costa Luna and free her mother and the people of the country?

Both Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato have a good chemistry with each other and the fact the two are best friends (and have known each other since they were children) and are comfortable being around with each other, their enthusiasm can be seen onscreen. In fact, all the talent seemed to have gelled quite well (according to the talents, because there was only a handful of them, they were all able to hang out and have fun offscreen and onscreen) onscreen and everything seems to work.

Personally, these two young actresses do a great job. For one, I'm proud to see two actresses with Latino heritage in starring roles in a film and most of all, to finally seeing these two stars working together. Personally, I find it absolutely awesome that Disney has been giving people of different ethnicities the opportunity to have major lead roles in their films and "PRINCESS PROTECTION PROGRAM" is no different.
