Lookin' to Get Out Ratings & Reviews
Examiner.com
Adam Lippe
Ashby's instincts are so off throughout Lookin' To Get Out that he only accentuates his major weaknesses as a filmmaker - plot twists, slapstick, chase sequences and lots of screaming that eschews any character development or scenes of insight.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Moronic comedy that's pleasant enough until it runs out of steam in the third act.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
While I understand and somewhat respect the apparent improv style for this movie, it did tend to lend itself to redundant and useless dialogue.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
The plot is a completely unconvincing series of coincidences but the dynamism of the characters and their friendships is marvelous.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Hal Ashby's cut of Lookin' to Get Out is a movie that deserves to be rediscovered.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the direction falls flat, the script is implausible...and the acting is either forced or dull.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
Hal Ashby and Jon Voight sadly exhume the rigid, malodorous corpse of the '60s to kiss it on the lips and stuff some 50-dollar bills in its sphincter.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The picture is a sloppy mess that stumbles toward oblivion like a drunk on a losing streak.
Variety
Variety Staff
An ill- conceived vehicle for actor (and co-writer) Jon Voight to showcase his character comedy talents in a loose, semi-improvised environment.
TV Guide
Director Hal Ashby's cut of the film was chopped by Paramount and by producer Schaffel and writers Voight and Schwartz, and it came up weaker for it. In spite of having problems, however, the film is not a complete turkey.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
About the only thing to be said on the film's behalf is that it does have the courage of its own mistakes. Lookin' to Get Out stays on the same wrong track from beginning to end.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Now here is a curious case, a movie in which good performances are sabotaged at every turn by a story that not even the people in the movie should be able to believe.
