Cho Eun-ja is the president of Club LaLa, which has been a family business for three generations. It used to be a very popular club but not anymore. Now the club is in heavy debt to Eun-ja. To bring back the old days of glory, Eun-ja tries desperately to keep the club afloat while the owner of Club Nemo wants to take over LaLa. Club Nemo is also a family business and the KIMs have been rivals with the Chos. KIM wants to put an end to their rivalry by buying LaLa and building a department store. So he sets traps to force Eun-ja to sell the club. He first makes Eun-ja take out a private loan and, he snatches the only popular singer and last hope of LaLa. LaLa is thrown in a state of turmoil as it ends up on the verge of bankruptcy. As the last resort to save the club, the four girls decide to stand on the stage themselves as a dancing group named "Oh! LaLa Sisters". Thanks to their fabulous performances, they finally become popular.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
rsoonsa Exaggeration is a keynote during each scene of this largely silly affair that consistently propels its scenario into the region of the inane, with care in photographic method serving merely to emphasize character behaviour that is excessively overstated, thereby too often causing a viewer to lose interest in a plot line that is flimsy at its center. Two nightclubs, Lala and Nemo, situated directly across from each other, are historic business and inter-family foes, the Lala Club passed down from her father to Eun-Ja (Lee Mi-suk), who is so mired in debt due to waning business receipts that she is faced with imminent loss of the club, and annoyingly to the owner-operator of Club Nemo, Kim Geo-man (Bo-sung Kim), whose planned takeover of Lala would complete his family's triumph over that of Eun-Ja, while she nevertheless harbours a compelling desire to retain her entertainment-based property. To accomplish her goal, she and three close friends decide to develop their own brand of floor show, in the process becoming a lip synching and dancing quartet, calling themselves the Oollala Sisters and, despite their lack of experience they soon, in predictable fashion, begin to attract larger crowds than can Club Nemo, a circumstance that must lead only into a nightclubbing and family showdown scene. Acting in this film is simply too histrionic in many instances, but the musical numbers are splendidly vigorous, with a bit of satiric humour added, not nearly sufficient, however, to off-set the general hamminess that exposes a weakly written screenplay. Direction loses its rhythm towards the film's ending, with some clever choreography becoming the brightest element to a viewer.
