There is genuine sweetness in this nougat-hearted movie -- in the friendliness of Ashby's direction, the caressed clarity of Haskell Wexler's cinematography and, most of all, the acting of Jon Voight. [11 Oct 1982, p.104]
More and more it seems that when all else fails, the director says, "Then let's make it zany." [09 Oct 1982, p.C11]
When the picture is good, it inspires hope and affection; when it's bad, it calls forth sighs and whispers. Lookin' To Get Out is a failure, but it's the kind of failure you feel sorry for. [11 Oct 1982]
It's like an afternoon at the quarter slots -- lots of effort, small payoff. [11 Oct 1982, p.B6]
