‘Lola La Loca’

U.S.A., 1987, 78 minutes , 10 p.m . You can’t fault producer-director-writer-actor Enrique Oliver in the area of energy. But--and it’s a big but-- his pastiche of stand-up comedy, social wit, Latino Boston color and dimples doesn’t add up to much of anything. The overwhelming desire here is to be liked, and Oliver is shameless when it comes to getting the last laugh. In this instance, at his own expense.
