The Bling Ring (2013)



A group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes.

Lively and obviously realistic reconstruction of actual events, but presented without any analysis or satire it seems nearly as hollow as its protagonists.

Maltin*1/2: "Comedic take on rather incredible real-life events make it hard to figure out who is more vapid, the teens or the victims...This  is simply a shallow retelling of the tabloid-driven story. Genuinely pointless."
