It sounds great. Donal Logue is funny. I've never seen Modern Family, but Sofia Vergara seems like a hoot.

She's a graduate of Brown and she's very talented and pretty; but the problem with being a celebrity is the lack of privacy. I don't know if students at Brown did this the entire time she was there, but during the first year at least, they had something called "Witch Watch." When someone spotted her at a football game or whatever, the person would tweet her location and then it would get spread around. You are correct that Lifetime made a version of this movie first. I'm not too big on Lifetime movies. I'd rather watch something directed by Sofia Coppola.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-87816221272848628662014-06-19T11:49:46.937-04:002014-06-19T11:49:46.937-04:00Looks like a good film.

The very idea of these hyper-privileged little jerks deciding to rob people for sport is infuriating to me. They could have done charity work for fun. They could have gone to another country to work with Habitat for Humanity. It's so painful to my brain I can't sit through the movie. But I greatly appreciate your review.

The theme, take from the rich and give to the not so rich (the teenage bling ring) also appeals to me. I was disappointed when ABC pulled the plug on The Knights of Prosperity, originally titled Let's Rob Jeff Goldblum, renamed Let's Rob Mick Jagger, a sitcom about a group of misfits who attempt to rob the cribs of celebrities. The ragtag gang was led by Donal (Grounded For Life) Logue and co-starred Sofia Vergara before she became the star she is today on Modern Family. I got a kick out of it.<br /><br />I will definitely add The Bling Ring to my watch list.
