See it if If you want to see a funny show about one woman's relationships. This show would probably appeal more to a woman than a man.
Don't see it if If you don't like one woman shows
See it if You enjoy one woman shows with engaging performance dealing with universal relationship themes. Very worth seeing— for men too!
Don't see it if You expect big or lavish productions or if you do not care about love.
See it if you want to see a very well-acted, engaging, funny, REAL one-woman semi-autobiographical show about sexual development leading to maturity.
Don't see it if you don't enjoy one-person shows or aren't interesting in female perspectives or are prudish regarding descriptions of sexual encounters. Read more
See it if you like one person confessional shows. The show evolved from a rather banal recitation of relationships to a deeper portrayal of a life.
Don't see it if you want a deep story although the show picked up midway and became far more interesting. Far too many Jewish stereotypes for my taste.
See it if you like thinking about relationship issues, as well as topics relating to one's self-exploration
Don't see it if you want a very strong soliloquy or a very strong one woman show, it's not that, but it's good enough
See it if See weid, fall in love, or thinking you are in love, relationships .
Don't see it if One woman show or you want alot of action.

"Lois Robbins Chronicles Her Sex Life in Solo Play 'L.O.V.E.R.'"
Read more
"Usually, this sort of confessional memory piece is centered about a profound personal challenge, social issue, or obsession. This is the tale of an unremarkable life, unremarkably told. It isn't terrible so much as it is mystifying."

2 of 5 Stars "From Boy Crazy to Womanly and Wily: Lois Robbins wrote and stars in a mostly autobiographical look at a woman's relationships through life"
Read more
"Written and performed by Lois Robbins (best known up till now for her long stints on three soap operas), 'L.O.V.E.R.' is an old-fashioned confessional tale of a "liberated" woman who spends her life discovering that love and sex are not necessarily the same thing."

"There's both plenty of humor and sorrow in her long and winding road, and Robbins is an extremely engaging storyteller."

"Robbins is polished and pleasant, but (a few moments of genuineness aside) she comes across more as an actress than the spontaneously charming person she needs to be. Nor is she helped by material filled with commonplaces that aren't enhanced by her occasional tendency to giggle."
