And Then Came Lola

Yes Run Lola Run was made quite some time ago (and this movie too as you can see), so I guess it's ok to make your own spin on it. In this case a lesbian version, which will remind quite some folk how really good the original movie is. Having said that, I've seen worse movies/remakes.

Of course for people easily offended just the premise will be enough not to watch it. For all the erotic encounters this depicts, there is not a lot of nudity in it. It does concentrate on the story (whatever you may think of it and however likely it is, take money and for example: it could have been used as a problem solver - but that would have been too easy I guess). It's a decent try overall, but nothing special at all (if you leave the sexuality behind it out of it that is)

This is a lesbian romantic comedy. It's one of my favorites. Well written and directed. And I love the characters. We need more LGBTQ movies.

Relax kick back and let Lola do the heavy stressing. This is a fun flick that deals with coming to terms with ones own flaws and sort of letting others deal with themselves. I found it to be a healthy relationship movie when all was said and done.

Perhaps the saddest thing is that it seems most loved by young men under 18. I doubt if they have a clue, but if they get one, well so much the better.

This is not an Oscar contender but it is more tender than any of the testosterone filled flicks that disparage everyone and despite their reveling in evil get all the critical praise. This film pretty much lifts up everyone involved and brings out their best. That everyone involved is good looking is just another plus. :)

Well, my 1st review, not gonna be long winded about it, basically one of the worst re-workings of a foreign film I've seen.

"Run Lola Run", the German film this was based on was an edge of the seat, fast paced film with a true sense of urgency heightened even more by the banging techno soundtrack.

What we have here is a wishy washy storyline, no urgent life or death situation like the original with a rather weak pop rock soundtrack that does nothing to enhance the drama, not that there seems to be much of that.

So, to sum up, forget this & go find yourself a copy of "Run Lola Run" a true 10 out of 10 movie.

I actually watched this before I watched Run Lola Run (the German film that this is sort of based on), so my initial opinion was unbiased. Very rarely do I turn a film off but this was one of the few- I think I only made it about half an hour in.

Lola's girlfriend has a job interview, she forgets her documents (or something to that effect) and Lola has to run through San Francisco to get them to her. As she is running she encounters various scenarios that get in her way- the scenarios I actually managed to sit through were ridiculous. I am trying to refrain from comparing it to Run Lola Run which I have now watched but it is hard not to. And Then Came Lola completely lacks the urgency of Run Lola Run (in which her boyfriend gets tangled up in a drug deal and loses the money he needs to pay up).

This film seems to try too hard to say Look! We made a movie with lesbians in it! That also seems to be the main pro in the positive reviews of the film I've read. Although its great to see people trying to make this more the norm in movies, it would have been far better to have made an original film with a decent plot.
