LOL is a 2012 American teen romantic comedy-drama[3] film written and directed by Lisa Azuelos.

Lola "Lol" Williams leads an ordinary life in Chicago, with her boyfriend Chad and best friends Emily, Janice, and Kyle.

Lol's mother Anne is a divorcée, who frequently has sex with her ex-husband Allen, until she discovers he has also been sleeping with another woman.

Lol throws a party and is caught by Anne who threatens to not allow her to go on her class trip to Paris.

Things finally start to change when Anne meets police officer James and they begin to date.

When Kyle's father discovers he has lied about his grades and smoked pot, he grounds him and destroys his guitar.

After this realization, Lol and Kyle reconcile and spend the night together, where they end up having sex for the first time.

The film was released solely because of a technicality in the contract, which contributed to its underperformance at the box office.

[9] Film critic Joe Leydon in Variety called it a "shapeless and charmless teen-skewing trifle stocked with trendy slanguage and social-network gimcracks that make it seem like something four years past its expiration date.

"[10] The film was made available on DVD, Blu-ray, digital download, and on-demand on July 31, 2012, in the United States from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
