Review of Lola Versus

Lola Versus (2012)
2/10
Fun drinking game: take a slug every time Lola has sex with some guy and says "I'm so messed up!"
1 October 2019
The plot: Lola gets dumped by her fiancée and uses that as an excuse to become a sl*t (thank you, imdb profanity filter), ruining the lives of every male in her orbit, and somehow she plays the victim, all set to a forgettably vapid indie soundtrack.

My opening sentence tells you everything you need to know. If you're a fan of this genre (cute girl acting clueless with her life and having a lot of random, regretful sex) along the lines of the abominable tv show "Girls" written by Lena Dunham, then you will adore this film. Everyone else will have a reaction ranging from mild annoyance to extreme irritation.

Believe the negative reviews. This is an excruciating experience. The only reason I watched as long as I did was I was hoping Lola would contract some horrific fresh-eating STD from having unprotected sex with strangers. Then I'm sure she could play the victim in the hospital as she has sex with all the orderlies. 2 stars out of 10, only because I reserve 1-star ratings for films where the director abuses animals. That didn't happen here, but if you watch it with your dog then you may be guilty.
