Wow! Such a good movie.

Admirable film.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The question is, why on earth did a good actress like Emma Watson choose to play in such a movie, and furthermore, to portray such a ridiculously shallow and dumb character? Yes, her acting was better than that of the other actors, but it was also incredibly annoying and just a pain to watch. Overall, the movie is repetitive, boring and some of the scenes made me wonder what the director was even thinking. There was no plot, no lessons learned, even the getting arrested part seemed no worse than being scolded by a primary school teacher for drawing on the desk. So what was the point of making this at all?

The Bling Ring is a true crime story about a teeny hole-in-the-wall gang targeting celebrities. The kids used social media to follow the comings and goings of the celebrities and ironically learned when to break-in. Rather than sell the jewelry, or "bling," they keep it as fashionable souvenirs they model on facebook, leading to their own discovery and arrest. Director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, The Virgin Diaries) said she got the idea from a magazine article entitled "The Suspects Wore Louboutins." The Bling Ring satirizes Southern California and the Cult of Celebrity. The characters live in Calabasas, California, home to the Kardashians, and dream of reality stardom, and careers in lifestyle marketing. Leslie Mann makes a cameo as a shallow stage mom. Something I found interesting about The Bling Ring is that there was no real protagonist. Enjoy it with a bottle of Sofia Coppola's Blanc de Blanc from the Coppola winery. I recommend them both.

Sofia Coppola's movies used to deal with main characters fighting off boredom. However, "The Bling ring" as another main theme, for a totally different ambiance.Some could argue that her new movie was made to reach a larger audience. But I definitely don't think that she did it with such a goal. Anyway it would be perfect if that movie could make more people gaining interest in S.C.'s cinema.Although that film isn't, according to me, as well-made as "Lost in Translation" ( which is by the way a unique masterpiece ), it is absolutely not a waste of time!The image and the global producing are once again really great, the actors are also playing very good. It is surprising to see Emma Watson in a role which is so different compared to her previous ones. She has always been great, especially in " The Perks of being a wallflower" but she was always playing the good girl.I hope that you all will give a chance to The Bling ring if you haven't watched it yet.

The Bling Ring -- I kind of loved it for what it was. But, first, here's what it wasn't. A fun-filled romp about clever bad guys you can't help but root for. Intrigue, romance, snappy dialogue, edge- of-your- seat narrow escapes from police. It was none of those things. Here's what it was. An exploration of the heart-sinking shallowness of fame-seeking pop culture. For these four purely materialistic teenagers, there is ONLY TMZ, shopping, clubbing, drugs, outlandishly expensive cars, clothes, and jewels. No love, redemption, spirituality, or camaraderie. Does that make for compelling storytelling in the stereotypical sense? Probably not. Did we get backstory on these kids that helped us feel sorry for them, despite their bad behavior? Nope. Sure, it's obvious these kids don't have very good parental supervision –20 burglaries? loot lying around the house? and they're parents don't know? Maybe the parents know, maybe they don't – that's not the point of this film. What is the point? The elusive answer to that question is probably why The Bling Ring has such a low IMDb rating. Take it or leave it, a cinematic mirror is being shined in our faces. By portraying pointlessness, might the movie feel pointless, too? Apparently. Still, the movie is shot and edited very well, and there's a good soundtrack. The young cast all turns in very believable performances. Though Emma Watson's might have been just a touch over the top, Katie Chang was stunning as the unstoppable, sociopathic ringleader Rebecca Anh. Israel Broussard as Marc was also very good. Marc seemed to be the sort of central viewpoint character, though I have no idea why. In her small role, Leslie Mann turns in another excellent performance as a wacky mother. As Nicki's mother, Mann holds up a vision board featuring "a good person her daughters should aspire to be like." When Mann asks her daughter Nicki what Nicki admires most about this beacon of humanity, Angelina Jolie, all her daughter can answer is "her husband," and "her tight body." It's relevant that, interspersed with these hoodlums running around breaking into celebrity homes, are news clips about Lindsay Lohan's brushes with the law. Also note that scenes of the Bling Ring robbing Paris Hilton's home were actually filmed in Paris Hilton's mansion – with her permission, of course.
