Laugh Out Romance

In case you didn’t know, LOL is an acronym for Laugh out Loud and this film starring Miley Cyrus, Ashley Greene and Demi Moore is all about the pressures of high school romance, friendship and avoiding ones overbearing parents. This coming-of-age story has laughs aplenty, especially in the relationship between mother (Moore) and daughter (Cyrus).






Lisa Azuelos and Kamir Aainouz’s screenplay, based on a 2008 French film of the same name, is targeted at the Facebook generation.‘LOL’ has its happy endings, it is not a Valentine's day staple romantic comedy – no unrequited love – just a lot of I-phone texts and online chats on Macbooks. The writers have superimposed several elements common in the lives of city-bred teenagers on a rather ordinary teen love story. As a result, the screenplay is such that it has a special appeal for teenagers, especially girls who vie for romance.
