For all Gerwig's undoubted charisma, Lola Versus too often resembles an extended episode of Friends without the laughs.

Lola Versus is a smart comedy propelled by the chemistry of two entertaining actors.

If nothing else, it gives you a welcome injection of Manhattan, without the cost of the plane and the hotel or even the No. 5 bus.

LOLA VERSUS puts the fun in dysfunctional love and is what happens when you shake life up a little bit and let it fall out of your hands.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Feb 16, 2013

I didn't dislike this movie because I'm a man. I generally disliked this movie because I felt the main character was a bit pathetic.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 6, 2012

Lola Versus has plenty of potential, but with a script that has absolutely no handle on its lead character, the experience quickly becomes unbearably frustrating.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 14, 2012

More enjoyable than it ought to be.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 24, 2012

So awesome, universe! The world hasn't been full enough yet of movies about women who are almost totally obsessed almost exclusively with romance that we cannot use one more of them. Hoorah!

| Jul 31, 2012

There's a distinct lack of individuality and insight and, appositely enough, if Lola Versus is about a woman floundering, as a film it can be accused of the same.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2012

[An] hour and a half of wearisome quirk and smut...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 22, 2012

The producer, Michael London, has been associated with some rather good films, but this is not one of them.

| Jul 22, 2012

It doesn't always succeed but this sometimes affecting, sometimes darkly funny film is perfect sofa fodder for anyone nursing a broken heart.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Gerwig's dreamy style worked in Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress, because the movie created an eco-system of oddity in which that style could thrive. But here it just grates.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Gerwig's done enough good work to allow us to chalk this one up as a glossy blip.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Enjoyable relationship comedy that commendably avoids some of the usual clichs and succeeds thanks to Greta Gerwig's natural charisma ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Gerwig charms, but the laughs fall flat under the incessant naval-gazing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Essentially, this is Gerwig's natural charm versus her character and script's lack of it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Greta Gerwig makes something of a success out of this mixed bag of rom-com tropes and indie quirks.

| Jul 17, 2012

[Gerwig's] presence in the center almost makes "Lola Versus" watchable even as it starts to get formulaic, preachy and tiresome.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 12, 2012
