LOL is DOA, a shapeless and charmless teen-skewing trifle stocked with trendy slanguage and social-network gimcracks that make it seem like something four years past its expiration date.

A glossy but shallow Hollywood adaptation of the hit French film Lol: Laughing Out Loud. The original director, Liza Azuelos, is at the helm too, but the sass and spark of the French movie seems to have been lost in translation.

It's a shame in a year that gave us "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," we have this tepid piece of junk.

What's of real interest here...is the casual, unforced portrayal just how indulged, spoilt, undisciplined and self-centred these iGen teens are.

One of my favourite movies. I come back to this movie time and time again. Classic chick flick romance. Miley Cyrus made this movie for me, reminds me of old Disney channel

It was a cute movie and it wasn’t bad it was just confusing. For like the first half of the movie I was confused on characters and how/when they got together. It’s like parts were cut out. Still super cute and funny tho.

LOL (2012), starring Miley Cyrus, is a teen coming-of-age film that kind of got lost in the shuffle when it was released. It follows Lola (aka LOL), a high school girl navigating relationships, friendships, and family drama while dealing with the usual teen angst. Demi Moore plays her mom, and the movie tries to balance humor with emotional moments, but it leans more into a cheesy, early-2010s aesthetic. It’s a remake of a French film, and while Miley Cyrus does her best with the material, the movie itself feels pretty predictable and lacks the bite of other teen dramas from that era. If you’re a Miley fan, it might be worth a nostalgic watch, but otherwise, it’s a pretty forgettable teen flick. Did you ever watch it, or are you just curious about how it holds up? Me personally I love and enjoy this movie - it brings me back to high school

What an awful movie! There is no plot, it’s all over the place and the emotions aren’t even raw.

The cast do the best they can but it’s an lifeless remake that has the same lazy 2010s teen dialogue and cliches
