I have. It's not bad.

The film plays in three 'loops' as Lola tries to get the money. Each time something different happens; I think it's kind of a 'Groundhog Day' scenario where there are many troubles, toils and snares. The do-overs sounds correct - essentially in the film each loop is a do-over for Lola to get the money. (By the way, she needs 100,000 Marks, not 10,000) The desperate need for money - don't we see Ali running low on money in S4?

It also shows a lot of her running, literally, so I guess there's a reference to Ali being on the run.

The loops also show how the people around Lola are impacted: for instance in one loop someone dies, but in the next loop/scenario they're alive. It's a resetting thing and each loop smoothes out whatever went wrong, bringing people back to life or resolving issues. There's a lot of energy, a lot of urgency in the film. It also has a fairly happy ending.

So yeah, definitely an homage.
