Wow. When I first rent this flick I thought that this was going to be a crappy lesbian film. I was wrong. This was just a great film. I loved it. I laughed so hard during this flick. I didn’t think this was going to this bloody good. The woman who played the main; played it perfect. I loved her in this. Her girlfriend or partner or whatever you want to call her. She played a great motivator. It was hilarious. And it was hot in some scenes. Great Film.
All in all though. I loved this movie. It was great. I recomend this film to anyone. Bravo!

“And Then Came Lola”
A Sexy Lesbian Flick
Amos Lassen
Lola is a talented photographer but she is easily distracted. When the film opens we see that she is having a good year both at work and in love but she is due at a meeting and if she doesn’t care there on time she could lose everything. You guessed it–she was late and she has three chances to correct things and we are with it as she tries to do so. Ashleigh Sumner is delightful as Lola and Jill Bennett is good as her girlfriend.
Each of the three chances that Lola has is a part of the film. One concerns a very butch meter maid, another involves a threesome and the third is about sex in an alley. Lola is not good at relationships probably because her heart is too flighty. We see Lola running all over the city. She runs into three different scenarios and what happens is a reflection of just who Lola is. Everything about the film is fine–the acting, the script, the cinematography and the use of animation. This is a fun film that isn’t much more than that and is perfect for an afternoon when you just want to escape the world.
The movie is based on the German film, “Run Lola Run” and there are many similarities between the two films. The location is changed here and aside from a lot of fun we also get some beautiful shots of San Francisco.
NOTE: Wolfe–please put me back on your reviewers’ list.

This is probably the most boring, stupid film that I can remember seeing. It is repetitive, MTV-style, disjointed and a complete waste of time and money. The trailer tries to imply that it is sexy (not) and insightful (not). What more can I say?

I love lesbians who don’t take themselves too seriously. This film is about lesbians and how lesbians feel about other lesbians, friends, lovers, and former lovers. Gosh, the world is lesbian for a day and it’s great.
As lovable, but slightly disorganized, Lola (Ashleigh Sumner) dashes across San Francisco to deliver some prints her girlfriend Casey (Jill Bennett) needs for a meeting, you have to wonder–will she ever get the girl? I won’t ruin it, but just watching her try, over and over and over again (Groundhog Day anyone?) is entertaining and fun. The film also manages to find a way to the audience to some beautiful, sexy scenes. It helps that the actresses in those scenes are OUT lesbians. No straight girls pretending to be gay here (thank god). Lesbians playing lesbians in a world that is lesbian every which way you look…..I mean, what could be better?
The cinematography is a cut above and San Francisco has never looked so beautiful. Also, the soundtrack is great!

This was ridiculous. I didn’t find the “nods” to Run Lola Run (a movie I enjoyed) entertaining. Basically, they directly ripped off the formula. Run Lola Run has an intensity to it as Lola is on a time limit to save her boyfriends life. Lesbian Lola on the other hand is trying to get a job… This movie would have fared better with me if it wasn’t ripping the formula aprt from a good movie. Whats next – lesbian versions of Das Experiment and The Princess and the Warrior? I can already see the titles now, Das Sexperiment and The Princess and The Princess.
Hey, I liked it. Get over yourself about Run, Lola, Run. Lots of movies are inspired by other movies. The film doesn’t hide the influence of Run, Lola, Run. Get a sense of humor already. I do like your idea of The Princess and The Princess though. Why don’t you get right on that one.
Anyway, back to the movie. I didn’t expect much, maybe just some good sexy scenes. I actually found myself enjoying the flick. It moved along, kept me interested in the story, and I thought the lead actress who played Lola was particularly strong.
Definitely worth a look.
