In a world connected by YouTube, iTunes, and Facebook, Lola and her friends navigate the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship while dodging their sometimes overbearing and confused parents. When Lola's mom, Anne, "accidentally" reads her teenage daughter's racy journal, she realizes just how wide their communication gap has grown.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a shot-for-shot remake of French director Lisa Azuelos's own 2008 film 'LOL (Laughing Out Loud).' She directed both versions, making this possibly cinema's most specific director obsession.
The 2012 version exists in a bizarre temporal pocket: Miley Cyrus pre-Bangerz, Demi Moore post-Ashton, and smartphones that still had actual keyboards. It's unintentionally become a period piece.
