1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of celluloid! June 28, 2010

By digitalsuzen

Format:Amazon Instant Video

Has the bar been set so low for lesbian cinema that movie watchers would actually review this movie with high marks? Apparently, the answer to that question is yes. The script and acting are so bad, I had to actually stop it at times and cleanse my palette while watching the Discovery Channel. Out of respect for gay cinema, I watched the whole movie. That's over an hour of my life that I will never get back. The acting wasn't even as good as an NYU student film and the places left in the script for a bit of improv ended up being stilted and awkward because the actors were terrible. The overt and awkward sexual references throughout the film became hard to watch. They were inappropriate at times and at others just plain stupid. Ugh. I hope there are better projects in store for the writers/director/actors of this film because this one is forgettable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Had potential, but it was lost in the run October 20, 2011

By Diva

Format:Amazon Instant Video

The plot? Lesbian A has to rush a set of portfolio photos into the waiting hands of girlfriend Lesbian B. On the way there she runs around San Francisco, encounters various obstacles, does some soul searching, and gets to repeat the same journey in three different versions. Because it's about lesbian characters set in North America, sitting in front of a psychotherapist at some point is inevitable. What is absolutely amazing about this film, however, is that a movie about lesbians with San Francisco as the location has not one, single dyke in it -- not even in the background of the lesbian bar where Lesbian B hangs out for most of its 71 minutes. In Trendy Lesbian Planet, the main characters can pass for straight (in comfortable shoes, of course), have fashionably slender figures, and dildos are never too far from reach. But not even the occasional (ho-hum) sex in this film could keep me from picking up the newspaper to finish reading it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother watching September 21, 2010

By Dee

This movie was repetitive and kept playing the same scenes with slight variations. Yes, the intention was to see her progress and make different choices but I became annoyed with Lola. Very tedious, annoying moving.
Don't waste your time and money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Did I miss something? June 19, 2010

By a work in progress

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

A lot of people seemed to like this movie and I'm surprised by that. I thought it was boring. It reminded me of a lesbian version of groundhog's day, repeating the day until she got it right. I must have missed something because it seemed to me that two thirds of this film was spent watching a character run... and run....and run... and run.....

1.0 out of 5 stars I advise you to skip this May 3, 2012

By J. Zebrowski

Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase

There aren't many LGBT movies/television shows out there, so when I found "And Then Came Lola," I thought I'd give it a try. The whole thing felt childish, and that is before considering the random cartoon animations they throw in throughout the movie. Though it was an indie flick and I didn't have high expectations, I was still disappointed. The acting felt phony, the chemistry was off, and the story was ridiculous. Lola keeps waking up from nightmares that her girlfriend finally dumped her because she was late to an important meeting (Lola is ALWAYS late for things). Every time she wakes up, she gets a do-over to try and make it on time, however, some zany plot ensues and she is too late. It felt repetitive and I felt silly watching it. I'd have to say skip this one...sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Faster, and Fastest! November 27, 2010

By Molly George

Format:DVD

This is a creative, fun, and sexy flick. It's loosely inspired by the wonderful German film "Run, Lola, Run." I think "loose" is the operative word. While Run, Lola, Run, is a rather dark film, this lesbian twist on it is definitely a romp. In the German film Lola must save her boyfriend from a drug-deal gone bad. In this film, Lola must "save" her girlfriend from a former flame. As with the German Lola, our lesbo Lola has three chances to get it right. Does she get the girl and save her from the clutches of the evil-ex? Well, I'll never tell. What I can tell you is that the film features a lot of attractive OUT actresses, beautiful San Francisco scenery, great music, clever photo-montages and animation. It also features some very, very hot love scenes. A must see. The DVD extra feature interview with star Ashleigh Sumner is also worth watching. Sounds like it was a fun set. That's a job I would like to have.

This movie was so flaky that I couldn't even focus on it. It was all over the place and too silly to even be considered a viable movie. A waist of money.

I turned it off not even halfway through. The movie is slow and boring. Keeps replaying the same stupid events over and over.
