There is little to redeem in this film &#8212; neither the distasteful characters, nor the meaningless lives they carry out. Sure, I&#8217;m being hard on these punks, but they&#8217;re abject losers, and it&#8217;s genuinely challenging to watch them on-screen for more than an hour. Not even Bakshi&#8217;s unique animation style carries this one for me.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-1024x772.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"483\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-58408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-1024x772.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-768x579.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2-358x270.png 358w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still2.png 1223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-1024x771.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"482\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-58409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-1024x771.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still-359x270.png 359w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Hey-Good-Lookin-Still.png 1223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><br \/>\nNot much of anything. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNope; skip this one unless you&#8217;re a Bakshi completist.
