The film differs from other teen films because there is not as much involvement of romance as most teen movies.
The protagonist (The Boy) wants to impress the leader of the group and is therefore influenced into doing things which he knows is wrong but still does it. He does everything to keep the leader pleased by providing her with the addresses to the celebrity homes and locations to where they could steal from. His kindness is taken advantage of by the leader and she acts really nicely towards him as she knows he will do as she says. This aspect is common in other teen movies as innocent characters want to be popular and therefore are taken advantage of popular people in order to be noticed with a particular reputation.
