A teen comedy wise beyond its years.
70
Deserves more than just a look.
60
There's not that much that's new in screenwriter Marshall Karp's sitcom-ish memoir, but Alexander keeps the laughs coming.
50
Generic memoir of lower-middle-class "white ethnic" life in the '50s.
50
There are enough grace notes and gentle surprises strewn along this well-trod path to make Just Looking just good enough to justify Alexander's career move.
40
Fails to create a seamless and believable web of measured performances and period color.
10
This sort of nostalgia-drenched, sexual-coming-of-age saga has been done to death.
