Just Looking (1999)
10/10
Hilarious & successful Coming of Age Film
11 May 2003
Just looking is one of the best in the genre of Coming of Age movies. The sometimes surprising turn of events keeps you guessing throughout this excellent little masterpiece. Superb casting and terrific acting makes the story very, very entertaining as well as educational. Both my wife and I enjoyed it very, very much. The characters are great and have our sympathies. Don't miss this one.

After having seen this years ago on cable, we got it from Netflix and enjoyed it even more. The DVD version had some scenes we did not remember, possibly, the cable version was shortened. Besides the comedy there are plot strands that are serious and sad. For example the step-father step-son relationship is handled very well. The DVD includes bonus features, as well as the option of complete replay of the movie with commentary by the director, writer, and editor. When a movie is worth a second and a third viewing you know that it is very, very good.
