the lookout


i watched the lookout last night ... it stars joseph gordon-levitt ... that's the kid from third rock from the sun ... if you still don't know who i'm talking about look at the picture ... that's him ... he is the main character in the movie ... then there's jeff daniels ... that's the guy who is not jim carrey in dumb and dumber ... they are the two main characters in the film ... they play roommates actually ...
levitt plays a guy who was a popular highschool kid ... until he has a terrible car accident which impairs his brain to a certain degree ... daniels on the other hand plays a blind guy ... they both do a great job ... so anyway levitt works at a bank as a janitor at night ... so this shady local guy tries to recruit him to help rob the bank ... levitt's role would be the lookout ..
despite the bank robbery thing ... this is not some adrenaline movie with lots of action and car chases ... it's actually quite moving ... it's more about levitt coming to terms with his condition ... the bank robbery is just a sort of catalyst ...
i enjoyed it ... 8/10 ..

oh and if you have a thing for isla fisher ... then you're in for a treat ...

It is quite possible that I know all the movies on your list but I don't know their names.

This one I do know; I watched like the first 10 min of the movie and I gathered that this kid has memory problems but I was like..naah don't like this kid!! ANd then Jeff Daniels..his movies are almost always weird with dramas and such and i was like..hmmm don't like this guy either :p so I changed the channel in search of something more interesting.
