Uninspired by true events. The movie expands on the magazine article that told the "true" story of a group of young people that robbed the home of celebrities. Perhaps it was a magazine article and not a book as there just wasn't enough there. There isn't enough there for a feature movie.
Sophia Coppola does the most with what she had to work with. Unfortunately there are redundant scenes of the stars jumping around the dance floor of clubs, doing drugs and trying on clothes.
The kids are as shallow as most of the stars they robbed. They are voyeurs into the celebrities life's and watching the movie you feel like a voyeur watching the voyeurs. Unlike some of the Director's other movies this one moves at a watchable pace. Great use of sound. Interesting music track that leads to a record setting end music credit as a percentage of movie length.
The movie doesn't answer the questions why? Why does Paris Hilton have celebrity status? Why did the kids think it was cool to rob houses? Why is shallow acceptable?
No need to rush to the theater, this pedigreed docudrama will have a long run on various platforms coming your way.
