Selena Gomez seems to be channelling Miley Cyrus in Behaving Badly.

Selena Gomez seems to be channelling Miley Cyrus in Behaving Badly.

Selena Gomez, apart from any association with Justin Bieber, has generally been one of Hollywood's clean-living young stars.

But like Miley Cyrus, she seems to be ramping up her image in this R16 movie.

Tagged as a teen comedy, there is an abundance of sexual material, not to mention drug use and alcohol consumption.

Unsuspecting viewers may be a little dismayed at the material.

Teenager Rick Stevens (Nat Wolff) is the central character and he has a crush on Nina Pennington (Selena Gomez).

But everything is getting in his way.

There's the drunken mother, the amorous neighbour, dangerous gangsters and his weird friends - it all adds up to trouble.

When he forms a friendship with Nina and embarks on a rock 'n' roll journey, nothing runs smoothly.

Everything Nick tries turns bad and eventually, even his extensive lying catches him out.

Nina has her own issues - dealing with her overbearing ex-boyfriend, Kevin, while trying to carry out her charity work and preparing for the priesthood.

If Nick wants to win Nina, he will need to try something new - honesty - and right all his wrongs.
