LOL MOVIE THOUGHTS
"You can change your status, but not your heart"
Their high school is built by brick, held together by a lovely courtyard, an dressed with societies most hipster fashions. The school they go to is my dream school...no joke. I will comfortably admit that I was a huge Hannah Montana fanboy. Seeing Miley Cyrus back on my tv in itself was a delight, but seeing her in this wonderful film was magical. This is one of those slow painstakingly sad background music teenager angst movies...and I freaking love those. This movie is like the 2011 "The kid are alright film" Although LOL is about a teenager girl...not lesbian parents. 0.0
Miley Cyrus as "Lola" was more than perfect casting! She is still a teenager to us, so her role was well played. I honestly felt her breakup with her movie boyfriend felt real, the after affects of fight and despair were felt in my heart. Then the overly handsome "Kyle" (Douglas Booth) sweeps in as prince charming and rekindled her idea of love. The most important element is the script in an film, an the dialogue of this film isn't cliched (or I'd flip) the communication feels like how I'd talk to my friend. Not to be a spoiler here but there is obviously a huge fight with Lola and her mom, and I almost started yelling at the TV because I felt so in the room with them.
I know this isn't any professional review...but this coming from an honest teenager and not some intern at the New York times...This movie is a charm, it is a travesty that it wasn't given enough credit to be released in theaters. Honestly though, movies that go in theaters are gossiped about and blogged about so much it seems movies become marked by the public opinion and not your in home personal feelings. LOL only has 14,000 Likes on Facebook per the imbd website. So I have not heard anything about this movie anywhere until Dish showed a preview. Her Mom was going on about her grades an she says something in a narrative voiceover "Yah Mom I don't care about the population of China-" then went on about other abnormalities of high school which I missed cause my lovely friend Rebecca called.
Her views on the dumb makings of a modern day high school education are on par with mine. Who tricking cares about half the pointless knowledge they teach! Show me one person in a normal life who has used the Algebra system in life. The web will always have knowledge...my teenage angst is beyond the beauty of this movie so I will keep the school complaints to another blog post. I absolutely loved the film, it was even filmed in Detroit! The budget was $11 million and in the box office so far they have made $13 million. The movie should become bigger, if you have seen it comment below in the crotch and hare your thoughts!
