Summary: A Fun "Non-Traditional" American Movie
Review: For those of you out there who are looking for the traditional poor boy falls in love with rich girl, this isn't your movie. Kevin Smith does an incredible job weaving an interesting tale that keeps you glued to the movie. I have let 6 people borrow my video and each of them have gone out and bought their own copy.Joey Lauren Adams is absolutely gorgeous in this movie. Chasing Amy is a great movie to watch with friends, don't miss it.

Summary: Criterion Collection review
Review: This film is my all time favorite romantic comedy. It has a lot of similarity to my own relationships. The DVD is produced well, but the extra material isn't that great. The deleted scenes are all from scenes in the movie that were mainly cut for length. There is nothing there that would have added much to the film, changed the feel or tone, and was rightfully cut. The outtakes aren't that funny and are mainly either the actors laughing or getting a bit tongue tied. The commentary was adequate, but they had too many people on it. They are often talking over each other and it's impossible to hear what they are saying. The introduction by Smith is mainly him apologizing for saying '... DVD' several times in the commentary; it was orginally recorded for laser disc. The introductions to the deleted scenes and outtakes by the cast are mainly Smith, Mewes and Affleck trying to be funny in improv. Improv actors they are not and thankfully this can be skipped. Despite the Criterion Collection shortcomings, this is a fantastic movie and doesn't have to be a Criterion to be in my collection.

Summary: criterion?
Review: i'll keep it short. very good but slightly overrated film. this transfer is pretty bad though. for criterion, it's terrible(and i'm not that picky). i've seen transfers of films three times as old as this this look much better. too bad. almost as disappointing as the highlander dvd...

Summary: A Painfully funny and truthful comedy.
Review: Chasing Amy is one of those films that seems so real that after you watch it, you have a hard time believing it was just fiction. It's insightful, outrageous, honest, heart-breaking, and most of all, screamingly funny. Ben Affleck plays a comic book artist who meets the girl of his dreams, played by Joey Lauren Adams, only to find she's a lesbian. Rounding out the cast is ex-skateboarding champion and Kevin Smith alumnus Jason Lee as Afflecks angry, confused best friend. (He also turns in the best performance of the film.) All in all, the Chasing Amy DVD is well worth the price and then some.

Summary: Kevin Smith Wonderful
Review: Okay, Kevin Smith is just wonderful, This movie just flows. All the actors are true to thier craft. Now i know why everyone wanted to be in Dogma. Chasing Amy is so 90's , it is so true to life. The soundtrack flows along with the movie , just perfect.

Summary: WHY NOT A CRITERION "AMY"?
Review: If the Criterion treatment can be given to a big, dumb, lumbering Hollywood road apple like ARMAGEDDON, then why not a creative, entertaining, sometimes excruciatingly funny, sometimes deeply poignant small budget treat like CHASING AMY. Joey Lauren Adams gives an ingratiating performance, and is matched by Ben Affleck and Jason Lee as the other corners of this highly unusual romantic triangle. Worthy.

Summary: Smith's best film
Review: This is Kevin Smith's best film, with a script of such high quality (I'd rate it as one of the best romantic comedies of the last two decades) that the rather low quality of the direction can be overlooked. This is the main flaw of the film - it looks BAD. The acting is of a generally high standard with all the in-jokiness you'd expect from a Smith film, combined this time with a lot more emotional content (it's semi-autobiographical). A qualified success...

Summary: Indie film at it's finest
Review: A rare gem of a film, Kevin Smith pulls no punches showcasing his dialogue and storytelling (yes, this has a story unlike some of his other films). His tender story strikes a chord with anyone who's ever had a relationship and wondered "am i good enough?" Silent Bob's "Chasing Amy" speach gets me everytime! "Chasing Amy" has raunchy language and isn't for all tastes, but definitely a movie not to be ignored: Kevin Smith at his peak.

Summary: The first half of this movie is one of the funniest ever...
Review: The first half of Chasing Amy is one of the funniest movies of all time! Only when Ben Affleck's character starts babbling to Joey Lauren Adams in the car in the rain is where it all starts to fall apart. Still if it was just that it would still be great. But when he comes up with his little scheme to make everything all right between his girlfriend and best friend/business partner - er - The Tracer (the comic book convention scenes were classic) - well all pleasure in the movie vanished like someone kicked me in the nads. Don't get me wrong - I really like this movie - and I love the first half - but too bad the last half disappointed. Of course Dogma was I think the first movie that Kevin Smith got completely right all the way through - aweseome - but Chasing Amy is still well worth a watch. I'll buy the DVD for sure - especially since it's Criterion.
