LOL. That's exactly what to do after watching this movie. Not because of any tummy-tickling humor or laugh-til-you-drop moments, but of the fact that this is even remotely considered a movie at all! LOL follows Lola (played by Miley Cyrus), a stereotypical teenager going through her stereotypical problems in her stereotypical life. Aside from a few sentimental mother/daughter moments and a well-fitted soundtrack this movie holds nothing special. It lacks meaning with it's stale dialogue recycled from the more vapid teenagers facebook page. If anything can be learned from this movie it's that internet slang should remain on the internet! Miley's performance is, as usual, bland, with nothing more to offer than the reciting of the script and a splash of her usual rebellious demeanour. She falls in love with her best friend Kyle, who just so happens to play in a band called 'No Shampoo', with her ex-boyfriend. Aside from this predictable coincidence you'll be pleased to know that they take the whole 'No Shampoo' thing to the next level by applying this philosophy to Miley's hairstyle throughout the movie. No doubt they saved a considerable amount of their budget! All in all the movie lacks a genuine plot as we observe lingering conflicts which end up simply dealt with and lack the epiphany needed to make them the focus of the film. The movie as a whole seems to avoid the traditional 'beginning', 'middle', 'end', which we normally associate with successful films, so that it's unclear to see what the films motive is. To say this movie was a 'disappointment' would be a huge understatement and a great compliment to it! So for all you movie-lovers out there who're looking for a good movie to watch, this is definitely not your cup of tea! Rating: 4/10 ... and that's me being generous
