Looking: The Movie

Just like the series, the movie was sheer crap. I'm from the east coast grown up in New York and New England. Having lived in San Francisco for 8 years and despite meeting very different people from all walks of life, some great, some rather shitty, and despite California being another world from anything even remotely like back east, I have NEVER encountered the sheer asinine catty talk that these characters portray to each other. I don't speak to people like that, I don't know anyone who talks to each other like that, and I would never tolerate it from anyone. The passive- aggressive douche bag attitude the way this series uninteresting characters portray is a complete turnoff. Attitude is cute when you're young but sad and pathetic when older and most people would find it unacceptable. I found none of the main characters interesting, memorable or even remotely likable. I did not relate to any of them. I get what Andrew Haigh was trying to do and the message of being honest he was trying to convey. I really do. Other than one episode in season 1 that caught my attention where guest star Julia Duffy brilliantly portrayed Patricks' mother, Looking was filled from beginning to end with badly written inconsistent story lines, two dimensional characters and unrealistic people. It didn't work in the series nor in the movie. I'm a huge fan of Daniel Franzese and Jonathan Groff, but sorry guys, there are better stories out there. You should get together with playwright J. Julian Christopher and producer D.R.Knott as these two people are brilliant and have written excellent material. Skip this. Queer As Folk or The L Word are way better.

The show that never lived up to the promise of "The L Word" and "Queer as Folk" seemed done. It was all about looking for love conversations over Chinese food with very little ever happening. Then it ended with a haircut. Now there's a movie for people who have already forgotten Patrick being ready for his haircut. He comes back from Denver for more conversations and a wedding. Mostly relationship shoulda coulda woulda talk but the men are good looking. A movie that just drones on and on but never ascends to the quality and drama of an "As The World Turns" or "One Life To Live." Something does eventually happen and it is good to see that the gay community is now so accepted that gay men can seem totally boring. I think the best part of the movie is the closing shot, a San Francisco cityscape with the Castro at night is a reminder of so much important LGBT history. But for a decent gay story line, I'm still looking.

This movie was a perfect closure to the short lived Looking series. All of the main characters get their arcs, we know what place they are in their lives and it gives you hope. The movie takes us on a whirlwind of emotions as Dom,Agustin & Patric prepare for Agutin's nuptiuals. The storyy never gets cliche or boring. All actors must be praised for their amazing work. And the last few scenes are so beautiful, you're going to rewatch them several times.

I admit, i hated patrick murray's character in the tv series - here, he is everything i want to be and more: swooping in private jets, stealing hearts and men. definitely watching this again!!

I loved the show; and I am thankful for the movie, simply for closure- but yes, the movie was very boring. It felt like a long flat episode. Wish it would have been epic.

First of all I found out about Looking while watching the scene with Jonathon and Raul on the train...when they first met.on the train.(I saw like 2 minutes on U tube) I was so mesmerized by Patrick...I looked up who J. groff was...well I famous it seems. So Ive spent the last week, watching all of his movies, TV shows, and You tube videos.( why he wasn't nominated for a Emmy for Looking, I don't know) and Russell Tovey as well. Their break up scene in season #2, was the unreal. The photography, the costumes, directing, writing, all grand. ( im not gay) I screamed in my living room, when the cemetery scene came on. Ive read Mr. Groff is not on social media....id like to send him a note.

Well,...That's about it ladies and gentlemen. Thank you and goodnight. Nothing really to see here. "Looking" has left the building. Zzzzz..............

The drama itself was so awesome and brilliant!the only thing that audiences needed at the time was just one other season,a final season, not just 80 min which even wasn't semi-enough for patrick himself! just in order not to blow up your imagination of your favorite show!they destroyed a very sweet love,very lovely couple,because there was no time to figure their problems out! you easily can feel kevin's love to patrick..Russell tovey was a genius in acting indeed!! i wished it ended differently ..it was so heartbreaking for me...
