Lola

I first watched LOL when I was 11 or 12 and recently bought it on DVD and rewatched it, I'm now 20. I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews, yeah obviously it's not the best film ever made but these people giving it terrible reviews are obviously the wrong demographics. it is obviously aimed at tweens and young teenaged girls. It's very cliche and very cheesy, but i think if you seen it were you were young and re watch it it's very nostalgic. It actually gave me goosebumps haha but yes it's a rom com and the acting isn't amazing but it's not awful and I have a soft spot because I loved it so much as a child but I can understand if you hadn't seen it when you were younger I could understand why some scenes are a bit cringe but I think it's great and doesn't deserve the extreme hate.

LOL (2012)

* (out of 4)

Lisa Azuelos remakes her own French movie. This one here has Miley Cyrus playing a teen who seems obsessed with sex, drugs and music, which is something her single mom (Demi Moore) doesn't know about. I'm guessing that's the so-called plot to this film but the truth is that plot and this movie really don't go together. I can't comment on the original film since I haven't seen it yet but this thing here pretty bad but thankfully it's so bad that most people should be able to get a couple good laughs out of it. I think what really kills the movie is the fact that every character from the teens to their parents are just downright idiots. I mean, the Moore character is without question one of the dumbest mothers I've ever seen from any movie. Just watch the way the character pretty much can't put her foot down on anything and the scene where Cyrus talks her out of taking her phone away is just embarrassing. Even worse is a sequence later on when mommy and daughter have it out after mom reads her diary and notices all the things she's been up to. Not only the entire sequence unintentionally funny, the performances by the two actresses is just embarrassing. Cyrus really comes off bad here because she can't handle what limited range the character has. The scenes with her crying are just poorly done and I can't say I believed anything she did here. Moore isn't quite as bad but she's burdened by the horrid character. Even Gina Gershon, Ashley Greene and Thomas Jane can't do anything. Everything from the dialogue to the actual story is just really bad and there's really nothing good to mention here outside the use of a certain Rolling Stones song. What keeps LOL watchable is how bad it manages to be and I'm going to guess that the only people this thing will appeal to are those who enjoy movies that are so bad they're watchable.

I am embarrassed to be of the same species as the people who produced this film. They must have been smoking crack cocaine up their anus. Like I've seen bad films. I've seen horrible films. I've seen films that make me want to throw up and then eat my puke. But this is beyond that. I'd rather shove King Kong up my butt while shoving my balls in a crocodile's mouth than watch this again. It will forever wonder me what the screenwriter was thinking when he made this film. I personally am a professional writer, and I struggle to think of who is capable of creating this crime against humanity. If I ever build a time machine and kill one person in history, it would be the director of this steaming pile of goat droppings.

If there's one way to describe this movie, it would be utterly atrocious, execrable trash. In no way are there any redeeming qualities in this "film" as it is filled with a moronic plot, hideous dialog(if you can call it that)banal acting and overall crap. The whole thing is a ruse; it looks like a low-budget made-for-TV film that ironically enough SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MADE-FOR-TV FILM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! I'm sorry, but after Hanna Montana and the atrocious film that followed it, Miley Cyrus's career as an actress is pretty much in the toilet. Only a wickedly hardcore Miley Cyrus fan would watch this because any self-respecting movie-lover would stay clear away from this hell-hole of a movie.

1 out of 5 stars. That's how bad this piece of sh*t is.

I watched this out of morbid curiosity, I wanted to see what a movie with so many one stars was like. Unless you want to watch it for the same reason, please don't do it. It's a completely forgettable film that provokes no emotion whatsoever and you could stop watching it at any time without feeling that you're missing anything.

Pointless scenes with lifeless acting that lead to nowhere, the most ridiculously unrealistic representation of high school and youth, characters so physically identical that are practicably indistinguishable from each other, morally questionable actions by everyone.. it's amazing how many bad things can be said about such an empty film! Even the filming style is annoying. For some reason, at times the framing switches from normal teen comedy to European indie deep depressing film, with long and extreme closeups of ugly people's faces. Also the aspect ratio is extremely narrow and throughout the film there's some sms chatting printed on the extreme left of the screen, which gets cropped out if you enlarge the image to make it not look like a sausage of image inside your TV.

Don't believe other reviews that say that the bad ratings are because it's a chick flick and people "don't get it": the one stars are the movie's fault, not the genre's. I love cheese chick flicks and I rate movies according to each genre's standards, I won't give a rom-com a low rating for being silly or predictable, so believe me that there's no anti teen flick bias in this review.

Watch at your own risk.
