Lola Versus 2012

     Lola is very excited about her engagement to Luke and planning her wedding.  It may be a case of cold feet, but Luke breaks up with Lola three weeks before the wedding.  Lola turns to her close friends to recover from this blow.  All she can think about is the fact she is approaching 30 as a single woman.

     I thought Lola was not letting herself mourn the loss of Luke and the cancellation of her plans.  She rushes into relationships that probably will not work.  She may be suffering from depression and she should allow herself a break.  Just being still would be good therapy.  3* (This movie is OK)
