Alex, Tim, and Chris view the women in their lives through the dimensions of a computer screen or the lens of a camera-phone, as they struggle to balance their online fantasies and addictions with the demands of real life. This up-to-the-second feature intimately explores masculinity in the new millenium, a time when young men are trying to decipher the mixed messages of modern relationships and technology. Featuring a nonprofessional cast, video contributions from people all over the world, and original music by lead actor Kevin Bewersdorf, this comic, sexy film offers an honest portrait of how the latest tools of communication can either help us click or turn us off. --© Official Site [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • From acclaimed auteur Joe Swanberg (Hannah Takes the Stairs), LOL is a raw, witty, and painfully intimate look at modern sexuality and the technology that either helps us click or turns us off.
  • Struggling to balance their online obsessions with the demands of real life, Alex, Chris and Tim are unable to decipher the mixed messages that everyday tools of communication offer. Are they alienating their chances for love by viewing women through computer screens and cameraphones?
  • Filmed with documentary-like realism and featuring a brilliantly eclectic soundtrack, LOL's defiantly un-Hollywood approach pulls no punches in its up-to-the-second relevance and honesty.
