Starting a new year of high school, Lola (Miley Cyrus), or “Lol” as her friends call her, works to find the right balance between family, school, friends and romance. Broken-hearted by her ex, Lol’s world is soon turned upside down when she is surprised to find her best friend, Kyle (Douglas Booth), a musician in an up and coming rock band, could possibly be the love of her life. In her quest towards independence, self-identity and young adulthood, Lol discovers that while Facebook “status” is easy to change; true relationships are worth the effort. (Roadshow Entertainment)

Miley Cyrus decided to step out of the shadow of "Hannah Montana" and play a tough teenager. But she didn't realize that "LOL" is nonsense, so naive that dear Miley has sunk even deeper into the box in which she comfortably settled. She is filming for the young and no one else, but it seems like she is writing the scripts herself, or someone of roughly the same age is helping her. I don't know what this similar film wants to say. Does it want to educate? If so, why is the mother called a bitch here? Why do the girls dress like prostitutes? And why do they behave that way? Or is it a depiction of a declining American society? Why do all the characters take themselves so seriously? Where is the self-criticism? "LOL" was originally a French film (also released as "LOL"). The director herself made a remake, apparently having lost her judgment. In this case, it seems that the remake means taking a well-rated material, cutting out everything interesting from it to make it digestible for Americans, and stuffing it with famous names like Demi Moore, mentioned Cyrus, or Thomas Jane, a faded star (completely unknown to us) after plastic surgeries, who looks like something that wouldn't even pass an audition for a crew member on the Starship Enterprise, and the result is an absolute stupidity that plays on the assumption that the viewer will tolerate anything. I implore you. Don't fall for such brainwashing. Demand smart comedies, strong dramas. Demand comedies like "Crazy, Stupid, Love" or "Bridesmaids", they have something to offer. This is just a meaningless mishmash that hoped that famous names could achieve something, but how, when they have, pardon my language, a stupid script?

A terribly dull film. After twenty minutes I was tempted to turn off the DVD player and do something more meaningful, i.e., absolutely anything, but in the end I held on until the expected ending(s). Miley Cyrus (here in the days before she was disgraced) otherwise acts fairly well, and the same is true of Demi Moore... But when they have nothing to act with, it amounts to misery. The only bright spot was the scene with the parents at dinner and the offspring in the room. Otherwise, nothing. And it was also a bit of a mess that the only original idea, i.e., the chat windows popping right into the image, was killed via the cropping of the image.__P.S. If the image wasn't cropped and the windows were cut that way on purpose, the creators are even more incompetent than I thought.
