Believe it or not, but there are actually two movies called LOL. The one released sooner is directed by Lisa Azuelos and stars Sophie Marceau, Christa Theret, and Alexandre Astier. The one this guide is all about is its remake, and it was released in 2012, four years after the original.
LOL 2012 is directed by Lisa Azuelos, and it stars Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore, Ashley Greene, and Adam Sevani. Despite its A-list cast, LOL was a box office bomb, earning just $10 million on an $11 million budget. The attendance was so bad that LOL was yanked out of theaters just a few days after it arrived.
Despite its cold reception, there are a few reasons to watch LOL 2012, especially for free. For starters, you get to see Miley Cyrus star in the same movie together with Demi Moore, and the two actresses clearly have good chemistry. But perhaps more importantly, LOL 2012 just doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it extremely likable despite its obvious flaws.
Only a few people have seen LOL 2012 in theaters, but everyone can watch it for free online using any of the two methods described in this article. Just make sure to read this article in its entirety because there’s an important legal warning at the end.
Method 1: Watch LOL Movie Online for Free Using Popcorn Time
- Advantages: Convenient and free. Built-in support for subtitles. HD quality available. Works on Windows computers and Android devices. No content or geographic restrictions to keep you from enjoying free movies and TV shows.
- Disadvantages: Popcorn Time relies on an unpredictable peer-to-peer network that doesn’t guarantee availability. There’s a change that your internet service provider doesn’t want you to stream free movies and TV shows from torrents using Popcorn Time.
Popcorn Time is a multi-platform, free BitTorrent client that streams free movies and TV shows directly from torrents and plays them with an integrated media player. Its developers see it as an alternative to subscription-based video streaming services such as Netflix, which cost money and apply various geographic content restrictions.
Popcorn Time was originally developed by a group of friends who wanted to create a modern BitTorrent client for movies and TV shows. As you may know, there’s nothing illegal about BitTorrent because it’s just a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing, and it can be used to distribute any data and electronic files over the internet..
But that didn’t stop the MPAA, an American trade association representing the six major film studios of Hollywood, from putting legal pressure on Popcorn Time’s developers, eventually forcing them to take the software down March 14, 2014.
As is the case with many open source projects, the program has since then been forked several times, and the most popular fork at the moment can be found at popcorntime.sh.
How to watch LOL 2012 using Popcorn Time:
- Go to: www.popcorntime.sh.
- Click the large “Download” button.
- Wait for the download to start.
- Open the downloaded file and follow the instructions.
- Launch Popcorn Time.
- Click on the search icon and type “LOL.”
- Click on the movie and enjoy!
All movies that are available on Popcorn Time come from various torrent sites, and their availability depends on how many people share them. Popular movies usually start playing in just a few seconds, but less popular movies, such as LOL 2012, may take a few minutes to buffer.
Popcorn Time comes with support for VPN services, which allow you to hide your online activity from third parties, including your internet service providers, by routing your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel. Popcorn Time displays a warning to never use it without an active VPN, and we recommend you listen to this warning.
Great VPN services have become very affordable over the years, and it’s definitely worth paying just a few dollars a month in exchange for absolute privacy and security.
How to use a VPN with Popcorn Time:
- Select a good VPN with many positive online reviews. Here’s a good list to get you started.
- Download the VPN software and install it on your device.
- Connect to a server of your choice.
- Watch movies on Popcorn Time without the annoying VPN warning message.
Method 2: Watch LOL on Free Streaming Sites
- Advantages: There are many different free streaming sites to choose from. All you need is a web browser. Technically legal because streaming sites don’t host any content on their servers and don’t require you to share with others.
- Disadvantages: Internet service providers can easily block access to free streaming sites. Your favorite streaming site may go down without notice.
Online streaming sites are a boon for movie and TV show fans. They bring you the very best the world of cinema has to offer for free, and most of them don’t even require you to create an account. The trick is to know which streaming sites are legitimate and not crawling with malware.
A good example of a legitimate online streaming site where you can watch LOL 2012 for free is WatchFree. The site uses a modern HTML5 video player that lets you embed subtitles from a local source and watch in fullscreen on any device with a modern web browser with a press of a button.
How to watch LOL on WatchFree:
- Go to: https://watchfree.at/.
- Type “LOL” into the search bar and hit enter on your keyboard.
- Select the movie.
- Click the prominent green play button.
You can then use the “cc” button in the bottom-right corner of the player to activate English subtitles or load subtitles in any other language from your computer. You can also use the “Turn off light” button to change the background of the site to dark gray, making it easier on the eyes.
Alternative Streaming Sites
If WatchFree doesn’t work for you for some reason, there are many alternative streaming sites that you can use instead. In fact, there are so many streaming services that we couldn’t possibly list them all even if we wanted.
