Just watched this. It was a pretty good movie I thought. Really liked the lead actress in this. The lead actor who was also in Project X and 21 and Over I was also enjoyable, but he probably works best as a minor character or co-star. I also thought it was interesting that the books sounds like it was much darker than the movie. Almost intrigued enough to track it down for a reading, but not quite.

My speech teacher wrote the book. He wanted us to see the movie but I didn't feel like it.

I asked him if we got extra credit for going but he said no. I figured it would not be worth my time.

I actually saw this movie in theaters. I first saw a trailer for it in front of "The Bling Ring." Anyway, I thought that the movie was pretty good and didn't portray high school like other movies do. I know that it's based on a book, which I am thinking about reading. Plus, I thought that the girl who played Amy was cute. I started getting more into it towards the end when I started feeling for Sutter. I couldn't help but feel for the guy.

I couldn't make it past the first 15 minutes or so, but perhaps I'll give it another chance. I'm just not big on Sophia Coppola as she seems way to up her own ass and the dialogue really annoyed me. More closely related to the topic anyone else got any recommendations for movies similar to this that are fairly recent?

To answer your question, I kind of enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters last June, but it's been a while and I have not seen it a second time yet. I know that it was based on a real life situation involving teens robbing celebrities. I remember that same day I watched a Dateline special on the real life story which gave me a bigger outlook on the whole thing. I heard that there was a Lifetime movie about it as well, which I am sort of curious about. I haven't seen enough Sofia Coppola movies to have much of an opinion, so I can't really relate.

I'd go see it and then write a full book report trying to pass off that you read the book when you only saw the movie. Then ask for extra credit

Shailene Woodley who plays the main female is only 22, and already is an amazing actress check out the Descendants and Secret Life of the American Teenage she also has three movies coming out soon and two of them are based on books. One I am really looking forward to and that is the Fault in Our Stars, I recommend the book highly if you want to cry. Miles Teller is another promising actor to look for as well he plays the main male lead in the movie. I did like the Spectacular Now as a film I want to read the book

I really liked this movie a lot, and I think Teller/Woodley/Brie Larson do a damn good job in this movie. It also helps to have Kyle Chandler making a small appearance, because Kyle Chandler is awesome in everything.
