Demi Moore Is Just Trying to Get Miley Cyrus to 18 in New Trailer for LOL

There’s a new trailer for teen angst/high school/coming-of-age dramedy LOL with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore. Writer/director Lisa Azuelos has remade her own 2008 film which was a huge hit in France. The best thing I can say about it this, based on the trailer, is that it doesn’t look that bad. Certainly nothing you haven't seen before, but I suppose every generation needs one of these. I’m not a Miley fan, but as she gets older and if she chooses her material wisely, she may turn out to be a better actress than it’s fun to deride her for being.
The premise:
In a world connected by YouTube iTunes, and Facebook, Lola and her friends navigate the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship while dodging their sometimes overbearing and confused parents. When Lola's mom, Anne, "accidentally" reads her teenage daughter's racy journal, she realizes just how wide their communication gap has grown. Through hilarious and heartfelt moments between mother and daughter, LOL is a fresh coming-of-age story for modern times.
The trailer:
Here’s a clip that can only be called “the morning after”. Raise your hand if you haven’t played out this exact same scene in your own misspent youth. C’mon! It can’t just be me!
What I find really both disturbing and hilarious is that the mother going ballistic is played by the actress who so famously played an out-of-control cokehead who wanted to put her step-monster in a catsuit because it was cheaper to bury a pet than a person in St. Elmo’s Fire. It also makes me feel old.
If you’re a fan of PBS, you probably recognize Lola’s love interest as Pip (Douglas Booth) from the recent BBC adaptation of Great Expectations (the one with Gillian Anderson as Miss Haversham, not the one with Helena Bonham Carter, which hasn’t come out yet).
LOL also stars Marlo Thomas, Ashley Greene, Austin Nichols, Thomas Jane, Gina Gershon, Fisher Stevens. Jay Hernandez and Adam G. Sevani. It opens in limited release in the US on May 4 (really? Against The Avengers?) and 1st June in the UK (against Prometheus?)
