Great film but.......(spoliers)


I thought the movie was really good but I find it a bit ridiculous that when she robbed the bank and came out that the police did not think she was the one who robbed it....I mean she had a bag in her hand. But I guess in a movie filled with do-overs it is already not realistic so that incident probably does not have to be realistic either.

I thought that was a great moment, and a wonderfully hilarious breaking of the tension. Lola didn't look like the stereotypical bank robber, and they obviously were expecting it to be someone else, thus freeing her to move on. That was one of many aspects of the film depicting how assumptions can restrict our perceptions . . . but only if we allow it.

I found that part really ridiculous too, but supposedly the police let her go because they suspected the robber to be in disguise or have a weapon. Lola threw her gun away before walking out the door if I remember clearly.
