    Love the series.....

    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.

    Beautiful

    I loved this movie tying up the stories but sad when it finished. Such beautiful characters. I was a little sad that Patrick didn't end up with my choice but I still liked it anyway. Loved the series( although way too short).

    Great job

    First off, people need to understand that this was a television series that lasted two seasons before being canceled and this movie was basically a condensed season 3 to give the show and the viewers closure as it was canceled at a place where absolutely nothing was resolved. It really pays to watch the series before watching this movie. The reason I felt like leaving a review this time around was after seeing every episode 3 times and this movie 3 times (several years in between each time) it struck me that even though all the actors and their performances are fantastic I feel one of them shines a little bit more than the others and that is Raúl Castillo who plays Richie. I read online about the actor having to discuss taking the role with his family because they weren't really the kind of family that readily accepted homosexuality and then to see him doing what I consider a fantastic job with this role and extremely believable acting was worth writing a review about. However, the entire cast gets my complements as well. They were all fantastic! Wonderful to see Tyne Daly! I'd also like to thank the actors, the producers, the writers and the directors for all doing a fantastic job! I do have to say though, I hate that they had Patrick leave San Francisco even though it was all done offscreen in between the second season and the movie. I'd have much rather he had moved in with Dom and stayed where I feel he belonged!

    Perfect ending

    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.

    A Nice Goodbye to the characters we have come to admire

    I followed this HBO serial based around a group of mainly gay friends in San Francisco. The main character Patrick returns to his old haunts here and is looking for some sort of 'closure' on his past but instead everyone wants to carry on where they all left off.

    Now those that loved the series that have gone before will find 'more of the same' here and so love it. However, it also manages to bring most of the negative baggage from the two seasons which was sort of inevitable. That is also where it has its flaws.

    If you identify with the characters and the happenings it is much easier to get into this. I found it very watchable but not the best serialised gay themed drama ever and wanting on a few occasions – I did really enjoy the first season but thought the seconds so lack lustre that I only finished it out of some sort of loyalty. This though is better and so a fitting way to say a final goodbye.
