As a new year at school begins, Lola's heart is broken by her boyfriend, though soon she's surprised by her best friend, promising musician Kyle, who reveals his feelings for her.
This movie was terrible. The plotline was boring, the characters were predictable and the ending was lame. It was an after school special drawn out into a feature film.
Lola (Miley Cyrus) starts off the school year on a bad note. Her boyfriend cheated on her over the summer so they break up. Her male BFF Kyle is starting to seem like something more but they take it slow. Slower than molasses slow. I wasn't sure anything between them was happening until about 45 minutes into the movie.
So they officially couple up, then Kyle cheats on her with some slut in the bathroom. Lola breaks up with him and is miserable for a while. She gets in trouble in school, gets grounded and becomes a frequent party-goer.
Turns out Kyle didn't cheat on Lola, her female BFF has the same bag as the school slut and she was in the bathroom with the school loser (hence her lying about it). Lola tells Kyle it was all a big misunderstanding and they get back together. Just in time for the school trip to Paris.
In Paris, romance ensues and Lola and Kyle hook up. It's also kind of implied that Lola and her female BFF do some 'questionable things'. This is all revealed when Lola's mom finds and reads her diary.
Lola throws a tantrum when her mother admits to the accidental-diary-reading and goes to live with her father for a while (her parents are divorced). Both mother and daughter think about how they have done things wrong and make up. Lola comes to live at home and everything is resolved.
This is just the main story. There are also some side stories about all Lola's friends, but those were unclear so I just stuck to the main plot.
Anyway, this movie was boring as hell. The dialogue was weird and the way the movie was edited didn't make sense to me at all. One scene would be with Lola and her mom. The next scene would be about the math teacher tutoring a student. I got so lost in the weird character details that the main story started to get fuzzy. Maybe if I was a beligerent teen who hated her mother off and on I could relate more to this movie. But because everything seemed so completely random I couldn't really invest myself in any of the characters at all. And if I can't do that, then what's the point of watching the movie in the first place?
I really liked Miley in The Last Song, so this was really disappointing. I guess there's a reason no one ever heard of this movie before it went on DVD...because it was a waste of time and effort from everyone involved. I will never watch this movie again. Ever.
1 star. Because I'm feeling generous.
