Even for a TV movie, this one is pretty bad. Now I managed to watch this flick after seeing the 2013 "The Bling Ring" which is the better movie but not by much. While the 2013 version I saw it without knowing it's based on a true story, this one I saw it while knowing it's based on a true story. But this one goes away from the truth more, while glamorizing the robbers more. All the characters just seemed unrealistic in a lot of ways and it's not just because of the horrendous acting. The interaction amongst the characters just seemed forced and unrealistic in a lot of ways. Like it just didn't seem like the ways teenagers that would pull these robberies off would say to one another. The 2013 version just seemed to be more tenacious, while having tenacity and better acting. And a better ending. The main protagonist this time actually seemed like the type the girls would give a chance to be around, despite both having a lot of insecurities and wanting to fit in. The connection seemed to be more developed. If it combined certain elements from this flick and 2013 flick, it would have been a better movie as a whole.
