It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreRelax 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. :)
View MoreI enjoyed this movie and find it humorous that some are insulted that it references the classic German film "Run, Lola, Run." So what? That happens all the time. It's clearly not a "remake." The movie is silly and light and pokes fun at lesbian relationships--how refreshing. I think those not part of the community may not get the jokes, but that's OK. And, it doesn't end on a downbeat note unlike so many lesbian flicks. That in itself is refreshing.I also loved seeing San Francisco in all it's gay glory. I enjoyed the soundtrack which featured a lot of lesbian musicians and it's a nice change of pace to see actual OUT lesbian actors play the leading roles in the film. Ashleigh Sumner, Lola, was particularly solid.
View MoreI really don't understand what everybody is complaining about as pretty much every movie is a ripoff or homage of another. This one simply happens to do it in a fun, lesbian friendly fashion. I suggest actually watching it first before you write it off as 'just another rip off'.It's a rare thing to see a movie where the lesbianism isn't just tacked on as an afterthought or swept under the rug as the story progresses. There's no men ogling them throughout the movie, nobody's suicidal, nobody has sex with some random dude to spite their girlfriend (something that kills a film like this for me), and the flaws of the characters and their relationships are true to life. It manages to avoid all the pitfalls that normally plague a lesbian flick and I applaud it for that.The low point of the movie would have to be the soundtrack which, while having one or two good songs, mostly falls flat. It doesn't quite kill the mood but it certainly doesn't improve it either.On the whole it's a refreshing take on a great concept and a must see if you're looking for a lesbian flick that's actually positively reinforcing. I highly recommend giving it a look.
View MoreWell, 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.
