LOL (Laughing Out Loud) (2009)

That was an excellent one.

Simply A Masterpiece

Best movie ever!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I don't wish to spoil this for anyone else - I read another review which said he'd seen Sophie in Braveheart and he wished this movie "Lol" had English subtitles. In Australia SBS shows all the foreign "non-English" films with subtitles.If you are after a mother / daughter problems / boyfriends story with a happy ending . . . go for it. There were some interesting story lines and subplots of relationships.Sophie was 42 when this movie was made. She was 29 when she played a French princess in the 14th century Scottish / English historical tale with Mel Gibson. I also preferred her part in the movie "Anthony Zimmer" a suspense French police / Russian mafia drama.

Ever since seeing her in Braveheart I have been a fan of Sophie Marceau and so it was with some disappointment that I recently received a copy of this film without subtitles. Subsequent enquiries as to whether English subtitles were available proved fruitless as it would appear that no subtitled copy of this film was ever produced. I find it totally mystifying, given the parlous state of the French film industry, that a film studio would not consider it worthwhile distributing this film in the English-speaking world given the international standing of Miss Marceau. How much can it cost to put on subtitles? Can't vote - haven't seen the film. Would like to! I would understand if you don't include this entry.

... yes, folks, she really is and it was a nice, albeit shrewdly cynical to have her playing the mother to the kind of daughter she herself played in her breakthrough debut Boum in 1980. To be honest I never much cared for Marceau the surly teenage rebel, a part she was saddled with for several years but she has of late blossomed and not least behind the camera in Parlez-moi d'amour whilst proving herself quite a useful actress in recent years. As for this entry I doubt if it will do much if anything for anyone over forty and it would have had no appeal for me without Marceau but it should please its target audience without much trouble.

Nice movie about French teens. Contrary to "the class", it relates the lives of well-off teenagers. The story focuses on Lola aka "Lol" who is dealing with school, love, friendship and family issues. Her mother, played by Sophie Marceau, is having an affair with her ex-husband and is torn between her responsibilities as a mother and her irresponsible behavior as an adult. As for Lol, she breaks up with her boyfriend who told her he had sex with another girl over the summer and starts to fall for his best friend. In a world where I-pods, cell phones & MSN have taken so much importance, communication is often difficult between teens and their overwhelmed parents.If you liked this movie, I recommend you to watch: "La Boum"; "Nos 18 ans"; "15 ans et 1/2"
