It's a movie you can watch easily.Doesn't require any attention 'cause the plot is very simple.It's just another chick-flick.The cast is good. And actors' interpretations are surprisingly good.Gives you quite monoptical view of teenagers life,but has some real world problems which was an good thing to notice.Music is good.But the plot is very empty.The scene were Miley snicks Douglas in the host home is really stupid.They could have thought of something much better.It is worth watching if you're a teen girl.Nothing that will blow your mind.I am not sure if the relationship between the two protagonists is what a relationship really is or what it should be,so the message that comes about relationships isn't a healthy one.

It's painful to watch. All the characters are shallow, self serving, and not like-able in any way. If this came from Hollywood, it makes me wonder what those in Hollywood think about contemporary culture in the USA. Maybe that was their goal, to showcase the failures and superficial nature of the current youth of America. If that was indeed their goal, they did a good job. But more likely, they intended this to be an edgy teen movie to be consumed by the younger masses. It fails there too though. The conflicts between the characters are weak, and not compelling, to each their own, I just couldn't get into it. I think they could have done a better job of building at least one like-able character that viewers could identify with, but it never happens.

I won't mince words. This is the worst movie about teenagers I've ever seen. Now, objectively, there have been other "worse" teen sex movies, like the innumerable American Pie sequels, but this one is offensive because of the fact that it so obviously has pretensions to be a generation defining examination of the sexual politics of high schoolers. But contrasting this film to even the Tina Fey penned "Mean Girls", almost a decade this film's junior, LOL absolutely pales in comparison. Now, I'm willing to give Lisa Azuelos some credit. I have not seen her original 2008 French film, and maybe it's good. Maybe it is the sharp edged satire that this film failed to be. Maybe something was lost in the translation to English. Maybe, lines such as "Skank-ass ho" don't engender the kind of bad laughs in French as they do in English. But, ultimately, the faults in this movie have to come down to her screenplay. Character motivations change every minute, plot lines are introduced, dropped, only to be either picked up again at a point when it's convenient for the film or just abandoned outright. The casting was atrocious. Miley Cyrus cannot act. Not that any other actress would have much luck trying to breathe life into this rotting , personality-void corpse of a character, whose only motivation in life seems to be deciding between two nearly identical wispy haired low-rent Cilian Murphy lookalike she's gonna give her V-card to. But give the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana some credit, at least she looks like a teenager! The absolutely goose-bump inducing storyline involving the blonde wanting to bump hormonal uglies with her math teacher fails to capture the creepiness and desperation of the situation if only for the fact that the two actors look about six months apart in age! Not that any of that matters, as this plot thread, like so many others, comes to a complete halt with no resolution, no consequence, and no lessons learned. And that's the biggest problem with this movie, it gives us absolutely no reason to care at all about the people in it. Why should I care about Lola's love life? What about this cop am I supposed to find charming apart from his motorcycle and leather jacket? Why should I like Kyle as opposed to the other guy?(I can't remember his name, and no, I won't look it up because I've already spent an hour and a half of my life on this movie, and that's about two hours too long.) Demi Moore is the only one in this movie that comes across as credible. She's believable as a single mom trying to have a family and a career(What career, you ask? Good question, we're never told.). This movie is a complete mess of half-baked ideas trying to say something profound about the Twitter generation. Take my advice: watch Mean Girls or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, two films that despite their age have as much to say about teenagers in their time as they do now. And I guarantee you won't have to hear the line "skank-ass ho" in either of them.
