That is exactly how I remember the Umbrellas too, but very recently a friend, who is a somewhat savvy movie buff, rated it as one of the best movies ever, or something close.

That shocked us, but so far we have resisted the temptation to try it again.

Lola is way above the Umbrellas. As I said, it does have promise, and some of the characters are quite palpable, and the mood is well defined too.
