Joe Leydon Variety 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. May 7, 2012 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk 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. Dec 16, 2020 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's a shame in a year that gave us "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," we have this tepid piece of junk. Jan 10, 2013 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Miley Cyrus overacts in sex 'n' drugs high school drama. Rated: 2/5 Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW What's of real interest here...is the casual, unforced portrayal just how indulged, spoilt, undisciplined and self-centred these iGen teens are. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 5, 2012 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review Humdrum all the way. Rated: 2/5 May 17, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

LIAM C 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Ed R What an awful movie! There is no plot, it’s all over the place and the emotions aren’t even raw. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Liam D The cast do the best they can but it’s an lifeless remake that has the same lazy 2010s teen dialogue and cliches Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Alica K the most iconic Miley movie!!!! The Paris scenes??? The indie song?? Hello?? We love this we cherish this 💗 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Hayley M 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! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Christen It is so bad that i couldn't look away 🫠 Between the cheesy portrayal of teenage romance, the weird, unnecessary, and awkward sexual scenes, and the strange b, c, and d stories that seemed to be an afterthought, it felt very over and underdeveloped simultaneously. This script and screenplay appeared to have actually been written by the worlds most mediocre teenager. The whole storyline and plot is the definition of cringe. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
