While Coppola always manages to bring the fascinating visuals, great casting choices, wonderful soundtracks and a breezy pace to her films, she never seems to connect emotionally with her tales of the rich and snotty. I realize we aren't supposed to like these kids but they truly are despicable examples of trashy pop culture of the modern world, which makes for a hollow watch that isn't the least bit interesting. I caught myself wondering why I wasn't just watching an episode of The Hills instead, so I might at least get a withered laugh out of the constant facepalming.

I saw the trailer for this and thought Emma Watson's Alexis Niers impression was dead on, but maybe that isn't a good thing. :laugh: It's the sort of thing that's more entertaining as a clip on The Soup than as part of a full length movie.
Emma Watson was actually fantastic.
I'm impressed by her ability to disappear into her roles.
She could easily be the same girl in every film she's in but her line deliveries and mannerisms are all so different and spot on.
The other kids in it are pretty decent too.
...and Gavin Rossdale as a slimy pervert is nice too.
