It was filmed in 2010 but released by Lionsgate in the United States on May 4, 2012 as a limited release in only 105 theatres without any promotion.

Plot

In a world connected by Instagram, Twitter 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.

It was filmed primarily at Grosse Pointe South High School in the city of Grosse Pointe, a wealthy community on the east side of Detroit, Michigan, and required a year and two weeks of post production before it was completed on November 1, 2011. In January 2012, the first trailer for the film was released, and days later, a poster was designed and printed for it.

On February 10, 2012, the film was released for the first time in India, and later, on March 1, 2012, in Singapore. Later, it was announced that the film would have a limited release on May 4, 2012 in the United States. The film, the announcement went on, would be released as Lola in Brazil, LOL: Laughing Out Loud in Germany, ЛЕТО. ОДНОКЛАССНИКИ. ЛЮБОВЬ (Summer. Classmates. Love) in Russia, LOL: Laugh Out Loud in Singapore, and Casi 18: LOL (Almost 18: LOL; previously titled La Vida de Lola/Lola's Life) in Latin America. Three different trailers were released for the movie: a British trailer, a German trailer, and an American trailer.
