Summary: Great Movie
Review: After watching Clerks and Mallrats(also 2 must see movies), I wasn't sure about Chasing Amy. It was a little more serious, still hilarious of course, but it hit more serious issues then the first two. Anyways after thinking about this movie, (trust me this movie will stay in your head for days) I have come tot he conclusion that it is an incredible ending to the Jersey Triology. I don't know how else to express why feelings towards this incredible movie. Anyways go see it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie of the century.
Review: It's funny and excuilerating. One minute your laugh the next your mad at the actors. If you like a good laugh this is a must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chasing Amy is great film.
Review: Chasing Amy is a provacative look at coming to terms with adulthood. Although this film isn't for everyone, it does a good job of going from extremely funny and carefree to outright seriousness. Two thumbs up to Kevin Smith. P.S. Archie is not gay. (Maybe Jughead?) END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly brilliant production by the folks at View-Askew
Review:

With Chasing Amy Kevin Smith has managed to give a brilliantly insightful yet hilariously funny look into both the complexities of general intimate relationships and the homosexual community in particular. Simply a must-see. END

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: blech!
Review: Why did this movie get such good reviews?? Maybe it would've been clearer when it came out, but I honestly thought it was terrible.

The main plotline made no sense whatsoever. There was no chemistry between Ben and Joey's characters, and suddenly, after about 10 minutes, he found himself deeply in love with her and had to make a 5 minute confession to her. Then it turns out she, a former lesbian, was in love with him all along too, and suddenly they're kissing in the rain. There was no build-up to this, and as such I felt nothing for their relationship or anything they were going through.

The drawn-out monologues in the movie are pretty silly as well. The characters talk at each other for long periods of time while the others just stare at them blankly. (Ben Affleck has indeed mastered the blank, gaping stare.) And parts of the movie are so silly that I wasn't sure if any of the movie was supposed to be taken seriously at all. Sometimes it seems it has a message, but then it's just stupid.

It was kind of entertaining at times, and the supporting characters were amusing. So that's why it got 2 stars. But overall it was a pretty bad movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!
Review: I saw this movie when it was first released and LOVED it! I had not seen it's predecessors until after I had seen this one. In my opinion, the first two don't compare. To this day, this is still one of my favorite movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS AND JUST PLAIN FUN!,
Review:
I purchased CHASING AMY, directly after another great Amazon.com purchase -- a short novel called THE LOSERS' CLUB by Richard Perez -- and the similarities are mind-boggling and eerie. While THE LOSERS' CLUB centers on an unlucky writer addicted to personal ads and his infatuation with a bisexual woman CHASING AMY is about a successful "indie" comic artist who falls in love with a purported "lesbian" (if labels mean anything). CHASING AMY, like THE LOSERS' CLUB, also centers on downtown New York City clubs and deals, quite hilariously, with "relationship issues" that extend way beyond gay and straight issues. Both have a grungy, gritty quality that marks them as "indie" products, produced on the sly.

In CHASING AMY, the "fool" is actually played extremely well by Jason Lee as Banky. This actor has never been better. Those of you who have seen him in MALLRATS will find him even funnier here. In some ways, he practically steals the show as the foul mouthed, easily riled "best pal" of Holden, the main character of the flick (played very well by Ben Affleck).

This film was made for very little money -- and this "low rent" quality actually seems to help the movie. The movie pulls no punches and tries not to be "politically correct," which makes it all the more real and funny, full of unexpected turns and surprises. It may infuriate some who believe that "gay" and "straight" labels are locked in concrete. This comedy is highly recommended, Kevin Smith's best film to date. A classic 1990s flick. This is the kind of independent film I wish Miramax would produce more of. And the opening credit film score kicks ass, too!

MAKE THIS FLICK PART OF YOUR DVD COLLECTION!



Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Not being a big Ben Affleck fan I saw this movie with trepidation. What I saw was a very entertaining and well acted movie. Jay and Silent Bob steal the movie where Silent Bob actually gives some good words of wisdom. He tells Affleck that he should not dwell upon his girlfriend's relationships with her exes because whether it was better or worse the girlfriend is only interested in Affleck now so the past doesn't matter.

Silent Bob goes on to say that his relationship with "Amy" was ruined by not heading this advice and he didn't realize it till it was too late. Affleck still manages to muddle his relationship and not be able to enjoy his personal success in the comic book world because he still mulls over the blown chance he had with his girlfriend

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wow
Review: when i saw the title chasin amy i thought "oh maaaann they lost Amy where can she be" and then i saw the movie and it had nothing to do with a person named Amy (except where "Silent Bob" Kevin Smith's character speaks about a woman he loved but left) but the story line is great. and it has a liltte bit of action like emotion,comedy....and much more ....(no i can't think of anything else)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was pretty damn good!
Review: This movie was pretty good. The reason I gave it five stars is because to me it had no flaws (except for the fact that Jay and Silent Bob are only in one scene). The movie was brilliant (to me) and I liked it very much. If your wondering, it is (mostly) about this guy named Holden who meets this woman that he begins to grow attatched to. Unfortunately, he later finds out her "dirty little secret". The movie has a lot of serious moments but it is still hilarious. I would definitely recomend this.
