Summary: Chasing Amy
Review: Chasing Amy is a really good movie, I think it explores female sexuality and human relationships in general in an unusual but yet interesting way. It's simple, it's a good story with a beginning and an end, and the actors are good (Ben Affleck directed by Kevin Smith is a different performer... much better indeed). I truly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite Kevin Smith film!
Review: I love every one of Kevin Smith's films but this one is my fav.This movie is a perfect example of a comdey-drama.This movie can make you laugh your head off but in a minute it can make you have tears in your eyes.Out of all Kevin Smith's movies this one is very realistic and has more of an emotional feel to it.The performancs are outstanding(personally i can't see why he hasn't gotten an oscar nomination for best director)The best scene of the movie is with jay and silent bob as they try to give Holden advice on his confusing relationship(jay of course fails but silent bob gives a story which is in relation to the title and shows Holden what he needs to do.)Chasing Amy is a deep movie that tackles some sensitive issues ,such as lesbians and gay black males.But Smith doesn't go to far and he presents a masterpiece that i never get tired of watching.I definitley recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Genuine and pure.
Review: The best advise I can give is don't get hung up on the lesbian aspects of the film. Concentrate on the excellent conversations between Alyssaand Holden. Listen to what they say to each other once they fall in love and when they are fighting. The words are pure and from the heart. To me it is a lesson in maturity and knowing what real love is. It is being able to realize what you have before it is gone and not caring what happened in a person's past. Watch it and learn.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It still only gets one star from me!
Review: OOH...Touchy Touchy Some people who don't think my review is very helpful; may I conclude to think it's MEN Of course Let's fry this one ok; one, men can't accept the fact that a movie can intell a story; a love story in which the woman character pursues higher levels with another woman character...this is obvious Of the men I have talked to they have verified this info for me... Men like to believe that a woman cannot have great relationships with anything other than a man; however, most of you are forgetting that relationships include more than just the intimate portion. I just want to state that 'Chasing Amy' is a movie with a cliche' ending; I knew how it was going to end therefore made no attempt to keep my hopes up. Movies that are cliche' and common are boring; neurotic and don't keep me stimulated long enough to even be happy the ending credits are rolling. As far as acting; Ben...cheesy as a guy probably would be in this type of situation Joey...I hate her squeaky mouse voice...The talent I did witness was in Jason; He played the roommate for all of you going (HUH?) I do think Ben's performace in relaying his feelings was very emotional and that particular scene touched my heart because I had no clue a 'cut and dry' actor such as himself could show such ability. But to conclude; gentlemen; don't hate me because I SPEAKETH poorly regarding the ratings of this film...hey...it's not personal just business.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Chasing Amy" is worth chasing
Review: A great movie with plenty of laughs, tears & plenty of "Oh My God!" statements. Its well worth it. The movie is simple, man loves girl, girl loves guy & a girl. See, simple.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great movie
Review: A healthy and new twist on the sideshow Bob series, this movie's excellent use of sexual innuendo and wittiness add to the powerful drama of a cult classic

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: brilliant
Review: This is not a movie about gay people; this is a movie about confused people.

All three main characters have complex backstories and are strikingly well portrayed. As for the story, it is NOT a story of lesbian lust for a man, as some other reviews below would have you believe. It's a story of three people trying to come to grips with who they are and what they want in friends and lovers.

This movie is especially funny if you have already seen Clerks and Mallrats. Even if you haven't, though, the story is touching and interesting enough to reel you in and keep your attention. Well worth your time, and your money (just don't let your impressionable kid see it -- there's no nudity but plenty of raunchy sex talk).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Movie Rocks!
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time. I think it is a great original story with fine acting. I can't see any reason not to like this movie. I have seen it 12 times and still laugh at all the jokes. This is the best movie of Kevin Smith's career and of the 90's.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I chased an "Amy" and won!
Review: I like this movie and can not wait for it to come out on DVD.

I fell in love with a lesbian and and in time she fell in love with me. She is now my fiancee and we are soon to be wed. Now, it did not happen quite like in the movie, but all you people who say this is a story that never happens well it does. It does work the other way around too, I know a guy who was bi and mainly dated guys, but this girl swept him off his feet and they are married with a kid!

Anyway, I like the movie and you should pick it up
