I’ll get right to it, The Bling Ring isn’t a good movie. It’s based on the true story of teenagers living in LA who break into celebrity homes and steal just about anything they can carry out. Dumb kids doing something dumb and they get caught only because of their greed and stupidity. How they did it was pretty smart (!) though. They’d read about who was leaving town for a few days online, Google their address and then look at Google Maps to find the easiest way to get into the property. Then, just look for an unlocked door or window. To be honest, it was probably a lot of fun to do. They got away with it for awhile and stole well over a million dollars of stuff.

And that’s it. A story better left as an article in a magazine, there’s not much worth watching here. You get your fame obsession, celebrity worship and materialism finger wagging. The acting is passable at best (Emma Watson’s worst work to date) and the direction showcases Sofia Coppala’s ability to point a camera at people talking. Skip it.
