There are many problems with this film. So the focus of this article will only include  grammatical blunders of high school students.

While ending sentences with prepositions, isn't against the rules; stylistically, it is unwise... I'm just kidding, here's the rest of your article.

Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman

LOL is based off a French film with the same name. The original director did an American remake of her own film from 2009. The movie is about the less-than-seamless transition into adulthood for Disney Channel Actors.

Lola and Anne have a mother-daughter relationship like the GILMORE GIRLS: in which the parent is more like a friend. Demi Moore plays her mom, recently divorced. She still hooks up with the dad on occasion. 

After breaking up with Chad on the first day of school; she finds a new boyfriend, Kyle. He's a deep, sensitive musician, and he has this 'battle of the bands' contest coming up.

Wash-Rinse-Repeat...Always Repeat.

Kyle and his band, 'No Shampoo' are playing at the 'battle of the bands' contest. But wait, Kyle's dad finds pot in his room and smashes his Sears guitar into little pieces. But rest assured, he sneaks out and makes it to the contest, and his band wins.

This movie portrays the high school experience accurately. Because there's constant communication, multitasking, and no school work ever gets done. And the students, they aren't played by 28 year-olds actors. 

Honestly, I'd expect more out of a 2009 Teen Choice Award winner. They don't hand those surfboards out to just anyone.

Movies, and TV shows, for that matter, usually have some sort of structure to them. Events happen, a protagonist overcomes an obstacle, and maybe there is a conclusion. I still don't understand what went on in the movie. LOL is disappointing, and it destroys my-achey-breaky-heart.

Final Verdict: Pot-1, Parents-0

I mean 25 out of 100
