LOL Synopsis and Credits

In a world connected by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Miley Cyrus stars as a teen girl navigating through the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship, while dodging her protective mother (Demi Moore), in Lionsgate and Mandate Pictures fresh coming-of-age comedy LOL. An authentic story that perfectly captures coming of age in today’s digital world, LOL is a remake if the hugely popular 2008 French film LOL (Laughing Out Loud)®. Starting a new year of high school, Lola (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. LOL is directed by Lisa Azuelos, who also wrote and directed the original film. The screenplay is by Lisa Azuelos & Kamir Aïnouz, based on the film “LOL (Laughing Out Loud) ®.” Headlined by Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore, the movie features a strong ensemble cast including Ashley Greene, Golden Globe® nominated actor Thomas Jane, Jay Hernandez, Hollywood legend Marlo Thomas, Nora Dunn, Gina Gershon, Fisher Stevens and Austin Nichols.
