look over
Give cursory examination
To look over something is to examine or inspect it, usually quickly or casually: Would you look over my résumé before I send it?
The phrase suggests reviewing rather than studying in depth—checking for obvious problems or getting a general sense.
To look someone over is to assess them visually, sometimes with romantic or judgmental intent.
