The crew kept a running tally of the number of iPhones that were broken because whenever director Lisa Azuelos would get frustrated, she would throw one on the ground.
In the opening voice-over Lola says that her name is Lola but everyone calls her "LOL" for short. But she is only called "LOL" once in the entire movie; every other time someone calls her by name they say "Lola".
"The Big Bang" by Rock Mafia appears twice during the movie. Miley Cyrus starred in the song's music video.
Whilst filming LOL, Douglas Booth developed an obsession with carrots as he would chew them when ever he was nervous.
Lisa Azuelos both wrote and directed the first incarnation, LOL [pжунимагу] (2008), the French film starring Sophie Marceau, after realizing that movies based on teen life in her home country of France were almost entirely missing. She would often see her daughter go to the theatre to watch either an American teen movie or a horror film.
Director Lisa Azuelos only wanted to do the American remake if Demi Moore would star in it.
Although Ashley Greene played a teenager in this film, she was 25 at the time of filming.
Douglas Booth learned how to play guitar for his role in the film.
Ashley Greene's first name is same as in the movie.
It wasn't originally in the script for Janice to actually eat the snail in Paris, but actress Lina Esco really wanted to try it. Ashley Greene's reaction was real.
