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. -- (C) Lionsgate

Critic Reviews

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.

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.

Jeremy Lebens, We Got This Covered
LOL is your standard teenage coming-of-age affair. Nothing about the film strikes as thoughtful or deep, with director Lisa Azuelos keeping things mostly uncomplicated and easy to watch.

Sandie Angulo Chen, Common Sense Media
Miley Cyrus overacts in sex 'n' drugs high school drama.

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.
