The two recently filmed ?LOL,? a remake of a French film which follows the story of a teen girl who ends up pursuing her boyfriend?s best friend after the promiscuous beau dumps her. The mother?s role is one equally unlucky in love ? she?s working on trying to move on following a divorce.

?It really felt like Demi was my mom a little bit because we had such great conversations, and I feel like it shows on-screen,? Cyrus said of the project, which opens April 22. ?I can?t wait for ?LOL? to come out. It?s what I?m most proud of.?
