Nice try! There's a movie in here somewhere

The trailer was very funny and interesting ideas but the film feels very long and somewhat awkward. I really liked the trailer, this might have worked well as an episode of a series. A+ for effort and C for watchability.

Somewhat entertaining. Would have been great if she were honest with herself and everyone else.

Somewhat enjoyable movie. The drama was mostly funny which was nice and light. The music was nice and they needed more of the naked man to lighten the mood.

The movie dragged in the last 4/5th of the film during the set up to establish her life in Florida, where she was supposed to go with her former husband but did not want to is a smidge poetic. There should have been more of the conscious, he was funny. But I have to say come on with the heartbreak. A woman seduces and cheats with a married woman then gets upset when the same formerly woman cheats on you with a new secret boyfriend? No big surprises there, and to boot this formerly married woman cannot come to terms with her sexuality and everyone intimate with her pays the emotional costs of her confusions and lack of acceptance. Just don't date til you figure your stuff out.

The movie messaging is mixed in a sense. The main character says she wants to be monogamous but then wants to date multiple people at the same time and not be open and honest with them about dating others at the same time.

She can have everything she wants she just needs to be open and honest with herself to start with and stop persuading monogamy, get involved with people who are fine with that, and stop believing monogamy is for her or that it is what she wants. Listen to your therapist, fidelity takes commitment and the main character does not have the capacity to do that with just one person. So only deal with people who can deal with that, not Lola, or the Florida boyfriend. David might be a keeper for you.

We can be our own worst enemy. And to Lola at the end of the movie I say run away and far and quick as you can and establish the boundaries that you need. You want only her and she doesn't sad but you'll find what you want.

Funny

I had very little expectations for this movie and when it started I was expecting to skip it in the middle and not continue watching it, but to my surprise it was funny and some moments were hilarious.

PLAIN GENIUS!

Seriously! Whoever (team) made this movie, PLAIN GENIUS AND ON THE DOT! This is exactly what happens to one of the most misunderstood sexualities. The key message.... Bisexual=Love It was 11:30pm when I clicked on this to check it out. No big Hollywood expection. Good Lord! I was hooked! Lola was AMAZING!!! This movie is a real thing Thank you for making it! I'm Latin as well. I never understood why Latin men were always more acceptable to be gay and bad to be a gay woman in Latin culture. Good job guys!
