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. Go to Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk 12/16/2020
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. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 01/10/2013
It's a shame in a year that gave us "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," we have this tepid piece of junk. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 08/09/2012

What's of real interest here...is the casual, unforced portrayal just how indulged, spoilt, undisciplined and self-centred these iGen teens are. Go to Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review 05/17/2012

Lita G. @litagearheart67 Feb 24 i will watch this movie over and over and over , everyone who is giving it bad reviews is a hater and they need to rewatch it See more Tatum S. @Tatum 08/09/2025 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. See more LIAM C @Cuttothechase 02/04/2025 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 See more Ed R @JustcallmeER 10/15/2024 What an awful movie! There is no plot, it’s all over the place and the emotions aren’t even raw. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 09/24/2024 The cast do the best they can but it’s an lifeless remake that has the same lazy 2010s teen dialogue and cliches See more Hayley M @RT59156493 12/02/2023 A teenage coming of age film! Some very odd mother daughter relationships themes! It's a movie you have scene many times before but watch because you enjoy the comfort of knowing how it will end! See more Read all reviews
