Looking in on The Lookout Mar 31, 2007
The film also stars good old Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale) as Lewis, Chris' blind roommate, and Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) as Luvlee, the girl of Chris' dreams. While the elder Lewis serves as Chris' guide in the world to a large degree, as well as his best friend, Luvlee could perhaps be described as his "mis-guide" in that she uses her feminine wiles to help convince Chris to join in on the bank robbery.

We've seen rich high school kid Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) live fast and almost die young in the film's eerie opening scene, and as the story proper begins, he's still dealing with the consequences of a massive head injury four years later.

This idea alone could have been painfully feel-good -- these two damaged, brave men helping each other navigate the intricacies of life -- but as played by a randy Jeff Daniels, it's mainly a source of dark comic relief.
