Rated MA
Score 0.5/6

Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities’ whereabouts in order to rob their homes.

To be honest I am actually kind of glad that I did not catch this one at the cinema (if it actually had a run in the cinemas in Australia) because I have feeling that I might have been thrown out of a screening for laughing too hard, never a good sign for crime movie. I really have to question the logic behind producing a movie inspired by a magazine article about a crime spree committed by a group of teenagers, that being said director and writer Sofia Coppola brought some interesting ideas to how the overall story was actually told but even that wasn’t enough to save the movie from stupidity.
While watching the movie I couldn’t help but wonder that members of the gang may have added their own chapter to the laws of human stupidity.
