Well, the coming-of-age picture has a new benchmark to meet. "Just Looking", directed by Jason Alexander and written by veteran scribe Marshall Karp, turns the genre upside down by pulling some familiar punches--but from places deeper in the heart. These mightier moments in Karp's script pay off with bigger surprises on the screen, consistently edgier, funnier, and altogether more satisfying than we'd expect in a comedy of this kind. A heroic ensemble cast including Peter Onorati, the ever "fetchin' Gretchen Mol, Amy Braverman, and a truly memorable Ryan Merriman make this quiet little independent picture one that continues to come up in conversation months after viewing.
Expect the title and story description to peg "Just Looking" as a fun, date movie. Actually, there's no better place to hide such a delicious surprise. There's more here than just great storytelling, "Just Looking" is a gift. And it fits like it was made for us. It's really that good.
