Plot Summary
LOL? It means "laughing out loud" in text language. It is also the name that Lola's friends have given her. However, when it is time to go back to school after summer break, Lola doesn't feel much like laughing. Arthur, her boyfriend, provokes her by telling her that he cheated on her over the summer. And her gang of pals is very gifted at complicating matters. Just like her mother, Anne, with whom life has become impossible, and not only because she has no idea what LOL means. That her parents have divorced is one thing, but that Anne treats her teenage daughter like a child, by lying to her about basic things - like the fact that she is still seeing her ex-partner on the sly, or that a cop is interested in her - is another. As for Anne, she wonders what on earth has happened to her sweet little daughter. From fusion to confusion, mother-daughter relationships simmer with love and plenty of LOL.

you can't even compare it to the American version
so don't.
this film, unlike its awful American counterpart, is witty, real, and INTELLIGENT. the dialogue-- pay attention!-- is charming and has a lot of comedic subtlety. yes, it's about a girl in high school. but I find it ignorant and shallow to cast it off as a dumb film over its thematic, which most people judge instantly. Sophie Marceau is brilliant. the actress that plays Lola and those that play her best friends are so visceral, unlike any "teenage" film actors i've ever seen. i love this movie, and the fake, plastic-shiny version Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore concocted doesn't come close to the charm and quality of the original LOL.
Must watch!
This really was a great movie, and although I was inspired to watch it by the upcoming Miley Cyrus remake, it really stands on its own and I think it's become one of my favorite movies. French is my first language so I was able to watch it in the original language without any subtitle hassles, which is really the best way to watch it if you can help it. It has such a distinctly French air but at the same time it's really sort of happy-making in the way that American coming-of-age movies usually are. Sophie Marceau and Christa Theret are wonderful. Highly, highly recommended!
Love it
I first saw this movie in German, and I really enjoyed watching it. It is nothing like American movies.
