And she can’t help but wonder what had made her father change his will at the last minute? What did he know about Arden that she didn’t? And while Audrina didn’t anticipate running the family business, she’s curious to do so. Arden’s protestations become frantic, nearly violent. When the reading of her father’s will reveals that Audrina herself will control fifty-one percent of the family brokerage-the halls of Whitefern again don’t feel safe. But then, the death of Audina’s father changed a great many things.

He didn’t used to be this ambitious, expansive…this cruel. Andrews’s strangest, most beloved books-and now a Lifetime movie! Whitefern swallowed Audrina’s childhood-and now the sprawling Victorian mansion threatens her adult life too…Īudrina remembers a better time, when her husband, Arden, was a young man with a heart filled with devotion for her. THE BLING RING is mildly entertaining if you like these made-for-TV films but the 2013 is the way to go.The long-awaited sequel to My Sweet Audrina, one of V.C. Chang is also good in her role as is Austin Baker in the lead but the screenplay doesn't do much for their characters. I think the film would have been much better had they centered the entire film around him because of how good Irwin is in the part. The most entertaining aspect of this picture is seeing the lead detective (Tom Irwin) working the case and trying to figure out who is doing what. The Natalie Kim character's inability to understand the trouble they're in because she just sees herself as being famous is something that is rather interesting and we needed more scenes like this. I say this because the film really doesn't give you a good idea of what these kids were like outside of their stealing habits but I think the one section where this film does better than the 2013 version is during a few scenes where the addiction to fame is highlighted. Perhaps there's a point to this but it doesn't make them very entertaining to watch. I think one of the biggest problems is that the majority of the teenage characters are just downright annoying and rather stupid. With that said, this here isn't all that bad but at the same time there's just not too much energy or fun to be found here. This film here will probably appeal to more people who just enjoy watching these Lifetime movies. I'm really not sure how fair it is to compare the two films but if you must then there's no question that the one from Coppola is the better one with her style completely taking over the subject and delivering a real gem.

I'll admit that I had never heard of this film until after seeing the Sofia Coppola version from 2013. The Bling Ring (2011) ** (out of 4) Made-for-TV drama about a group of bored teenagers who became known as 'The Bling Ring' when they started to gain 'fame' by breaking into the homes of various celebrities.
