I do not regret watching a single minute of this masterpiece. From the Juicy sweatsuits, the single teacup dog, to Emma Watson's almost "scene" (a subsection of the late 2000's emo culture) haircut, I was blown away by the quality of this thought provoking film. This dark and cerebral commentary on material obsession still echos familiar socioeconomic insights of this new decade. In the current state of our collective consciousness, I feel that this film should be mandatory viewing for all schools and girl scout troops in order to teach upcoming young minds about what is really important in life- the law of attraction.
If Emma Watson had listened to her mother, she could have surrounded herself with quality and fun loving friends who would favor wholesome activities like drinking Milkshakes, Golfing, and of course, Go Fish. The repercussions of showing this film to the youthful generation are endless. If more parents encouraged this viewing and deep message of this film, I know that the lines at my local roller skating rink would be packed with eager and noble tweens- what to speak of the lines at the local library! Let's get our kids reading again! Come on! Who's with me? I'd like to see the Goosebumps section wiped out at on a weekly basis! When's the last time YOUR kid picked up a book? Put down the Minecraft and pick up the MINDcraft!
Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox- thanks for indulging this modern book worm. But as for this reader rabbit's last comments, I'll leave you with this: What cost less? The new shiny cellular device in your pocket or a trusty, timeless, and FREE library card? Think about it. How much money did you spend on that phone? Have you ever wanted to travel? Well pick up a book! You can go anywhere you want! Sometimes, what I tell people is that it's like TV for your BRAIN. But what is better about reading a good book is that you can travel internally to any place you've ever dreamed of - India, Europe, Connecticut, Mars, or even in the arms of a fictional character (like the infamous Christian Gray - a favorite among many book worms).
To finish off, I hope this thought provoking film encourages you to become attracted to what is REALLY important- Books! Tune out of the world of designer clothes and big "bling", and tune to infinite adventures between the pages of an addicting (not like the addiction in this movie!...haha) plot lines of a good book!

Fame has its price
I totally loved this movie. After Lifetime's little disaster, I heard there would be another version and I wasn't very sure about it, but everything changed when I heard that Sofia Coppola would direct it, and I immediately knew it would be amazing.The film has amazing actors (especially Israel Broussard and Emma Watson, and in this movie, she proves that she can play any role besides the "good girl role"; this time a bimbo), the way the story is told (not as cheesy as the Lifetime version), this one is darker, but lighter at the same time, and more appealing for teenagers. I just wish they would had shown more than the robberies (the film has like 4 or 5 robbery scenes, which takes a lot of minutes off the film, instead of showing us how their life was on High School, or when they did something else besides shopping and clubbing), the psychological sides of other characters besides Marc would had been amazing. But what makes this movie so special, is that the story is not about stealing stuff from celebrities, but also the things we would do for acceptance and to feel like we're part of something.Overall, if you enjoyed Spring Breakers, you will like the Bling Ring, and don't listen to bad reviews, it's awesome.

If ever a subject was perfect for Sofia Coppola's touch, this was it. A huge fan of hers, I ignored the load of crappy reviews and ordered the film anyway - glad I did. The subjects in The Bling Ring are similar to those in previous films: whether Marie Antoinette, the characters in Virgin Suicides or the Bling-ers, these are teenagers in the process of making a transition to adulthood. Instead of using a narrative style, Coppola goes for what most of us experienced in our own teenage years - blinding speed, mental snapshot images of people/events, often vacuous preoccupations and ever-changing interests.
For the Bling Ring, this group bought all of the hype and obsession surrounding celebrities and their trappings and tried to up their own personal stock by stealing pieces of property from the people they idealized. That this actually happened isn't what surprising; that it hasn't happened MORE is surprising.
The actors did a fantastic job of portraying rudderless, self-absorbed, completely detached group of young people. Not ONE was concerned with the morality of what they did; and only one had limited concerns about getting caught. Watching the film, I was struck what blank canvasses each appeared to be - defined only by what they wore.
I LOVED this film!!! It is an absolutely fascinating story and Sofia Coppola's deft touch brought this story to life in such a way that the viewer feels like a fly on the walls of the events and in the minds of the group.

I won’t say this film is shallow, but… It’s based on a magazine article. Not a book, mind you, a single article in Vanity Fair, “The Suspects Wore Louboutins.” Having said that, it does shallow with a vengeance. The film begins with cartoon-level caricatures of Valley girls. Picture mom calling her teens down for breakfast with, “Girls! Time for your Adderall.” Mom of course is also a caricature. (And truthfully, I wish Hollywood would stop featuring homeschoolers as all children of the corn flat-earthers or total flakes. Stepmothers get a better rep from Disney… But that’s probably a topic for a different review...)
Emma Watson is deliciously vapid here. Not even a hint of Hermione’s quiet righteousness or simmering brilliance.
It’s also interesting to watch the peer pressure in play at “Idiot” high, and how easily the Bling Ring members move from underage drinking and skipping school to multi-million dollar robberies. Or situations where playing with a loaded gun becomes more than a metaphor.
Clearly, the closest this film comes to Oscar material is when they rob celebrities while those actors are attending the awards ceremony. But it’s a good rainy afternoon diversion. And you get to see the insides of Paris Hilton’s actual closet since she allowed them to film inside her mansion.
FYI – The sound track is horrendous. No idea where they got that music, but the opening song has a background droning like a running garbage disposal. I thought my TV speakers had died. And the ending song is even worse. Like someone stood on the chord buttons of an accordion and just kept standing there.
[I rented this on a rainy afternoon. But I can’t remember reviewing a film I’d only rented before. I’ll be curious to see whether this is Verified or not….]

I had never heard of this movie and learned about it via a trailer in another film. The premise sounded interesting,especially since it was based on true events. The film lived up to its potential, good video/audio, and well priced.
