Lola Versus 2012


      Lola is 29 years old and she’s happily planning a wedding with her boyfriend Luke.  She comes home one day and out of the blue, he’s got cold feet.  They break up, he needs space and she feels barely alive.  She tries to move on but it’s very difficult. Then, Luke tells her he thinks he made a mistake.  She realizes she needs to find herself before she makes any decisions about guys.
     This is not a comedy and there is here is not very much going on, no surprises, just the typical breakup story.  I like Greta Gerwig as an actress and I think lately she has wasted her talents on hum drum films.  She needs a home run!!   3* (This movie is OK) 
 
87 min, Comedy directed by Caryl Wein with Greta Gerwig, Joel Kinnaman, Zoe Lister Jones, Hamish Linklater, Bill Pullman, Debra Winger, Maria Dizzia.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 4.8, 34% critic 31% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
