A few harmless fibs grow into outrageous lies, which lead to hilarious consequences in this hip romantic comedy about making dreams come true. When Mike sees Lola dancing at a hot L.A. nightclub, he is mesmerized and deter... more »mined to meet her. Mike is a struggling writer, and Lola, who just moved from Guadalajara, is determined to become a professional dancer. When the two of them get together, the sparks fly. But each mistakenly thinks the other is rich and successful, and chaos ensues as both of them pretend to have the kinds of lives they dream about. Yet only when they drop the facade do they find the love that's underneath. With their united efforts, Lola at last gets her chance to be in a major dance production and sets the stage on fire, leading Mike and the audience in an eye-popping finale in the triumphant tradition of "Dirty Dancing." "Looking for Lola" will make you feel good about the possibilities that only love can bring.« less
Pretty fun minus some things that should have been cut from the script.

"I have found this film to be a wonderful surprise. The music is just great and the actors were real! The whole film experience was entertaining and held my interest to the end. I will see it again!"
Amateurish and silly

"Do not waste your time with this movie. The plot is predictably and silly. Remind me of those college movies. The dance is poor and not worth any praise. I had trouble not sleeping through it."
Good Movie!!!

"This movie is good. I remember it from when i was younger. Its about a wanna be writer and a wanna be dancer named Lola. The guy sees her dance and can't get her out of his head so he looks for her (but the catch is when she danced she was wearing a mask). He eventually finds her (even though he doesn't realize its the woman he's been looking for until the end). They become quick friends and he tells her how he lied to his parents by telling them he was rich and had a girlfriend. So she agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend and let him borrow her house so he can look rich, all the while she is lying to him because she's really a housekeeper that is house sitting. They basically get caught in a bunch of lies while unintentionally falling in love. It is a very funny and romantic story!!"
A good movie for people who like simple and fun movies

"I loved this movie. I would recomend it to anyone who loves comedy, and romance. There is a lot of action in it, a lot of dancing, and one very beautiful latin actress in this movie. The guys will love this woman."
