Summary: ... the title
Review: now that I'm through titling my review I can get to it. This movie is funny to me. The scene where the black gay guy was talking about his comic book and shoots Jason Lee was hillarious, and how he tries to convince Jason Lee that Archie is gay, and how he reacts to it is the funniest part. The story is about a man who falls in love with a lesbian named Allyssa. I think the scene where he discovers that Allyssa is gay was funny. Ben Affleck looks crushed while Jason Lee smiles, looks around and realizes what kind of a bar that they're in and smiles again. I read a lot of bad things about this movie. For insance, that it's anti-gay, which isn't true. Just because Allyssa also falls in love with Ben Affleck doesn't mean it's anti-gay. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is when Jay and Silent Bob talk to Ben Affleck. They make a reference to Mall Rats and tell Ben how to do his job. I read something that said that the movie is bad because it isn't all about the comic books. Oh darn, I thought that was the point of the movie.My friend told me about this movie and said that he would rather watch a porno movie with his parents than this with his parents. At first I was confused, because I kept comming in at the wrong parts. The sickest scene is when Jason Lee and Joey Adams are showing eachother wounds they got ... This movie is somewhat like Clerks to me. It's hillarious yet serious at times, only much more serious than Clerks was. I noticed two Clerks references in the movie. One was when they were at the bar and mentioned the girl who died in the swimming pool, and the second was when Jason Lee told Ben about what Rick Derres did with Allessa and a friend one day in high school. As the love story goes, I don't know. I'm just glad that it doesn't have the regular Hollywood, Runaway Bride, My Best Friend's Wedding, The Wedding Singer, The Wedding Planner (notice a pattern), kind of ending. I like that it didn't have the closure that most people are used to. That's what happens in a Kevin Smith movie. Clerks had an open ending, just like this one.

Summary: Smith's Best Film to Date
Review: This is a story about love, sex and relationships that is far deeper than the other movies Kevin Smith has produced. It is intelligent and combines a powerful love story with a great comedic sub-plot in a way that rarely works in movies. This is also the first Kevin Smith film I saw in the theater. I saw it in Birmingham, Alabama and, in that town, the cry of "Black Rage" is not something to be taken lightly or without fear of reprisal. Yet, Kevin Smith pulls it off so well that a collection of minorities and rednecks laughed in unison at the now-classic exchange of "What's a nubian?" "Shut the ____ up!" The DVD contains a great library of back story, deleted scenes and commentary. This seems to have been done in the course of producing "Dogma" and there is a definite sense of victory over the critics who slammed them in "Mallrats" and those who would challenge them in their Catholic-defying treatise to follow. The film is a great love story. The DVD is a great extension of that story. Buy it.

Summary: CHASING AMY
Review: CHASING AMY is the third entry in the 'New Jersey Chronicles.' Cult comic book artist Holden is falling in love with Alyssa, who also happens to be a comic book artist as well. Things begin to get complicated when Holden finds out that Alyssa is gay. Those crazy potheads Jay and Silent Bob appear here because they inspire Holden's comic book characters that he creates.

Summary: Kevin Smith is a genius.
Review: This touching movie about friendship and love combines Smith's already well-known ability for comedy with his lesser-known ability to make a touching dramatic film. Ben Affleck, pre-Good Will Hunting and pre-fame, gives a fabulous performance. Joey Lauren Adams is so good you wonder why her step after this was to do "Big Daddy" and, as usual in SMith films, Jason Lee is freakin' hilarious. The movie just has one problem: the ending. I won't ruin it for you, but trust me-it doesn't fit and it's ridiculous. But see the movie and make that decision yourself...

Summary: The only romance movie of the 90s
Review: This was a great movie about love, and this is coming from someone who hates romance movies. As in all Smith's movies, it was full of great dialogue, writing, and scenes. Now that I think of it, this is the only romance movie I will likely ever own.
Rating:
Summary: Dude this movie is sweet!
Review: This movie is one of the best movies of all time. It has lots of funny moments, as well as a handful of romantic ones. If you love movies that are happy, untruthful, and have a ending that leaves you smiling; not crying; then you will hate this movie. If you are looking for a sob fest and a laugh fest, pull someone close to you and enjoy!

Summary: MUST GET~!!
Review: This movie I truly have to say is one of the best movies ever to be filmed. It has great acting, humor, and what most men like the most two women kissing. Ben Affleck did a fantasic job. The guy that did Binky had me cracking up laughing the first time I saw it. Hooper, the gay black man is also hillarious. The girl in the movie did her roles well, and put a lot of expression into her part. This movie does sort of remind me of a real- life situation, cause this girl in the movie is a freak. There's a lot of those around. Chasing Amy seems like the beginning for Dogma because of the production. But anywho, Chasing Amy is a movie that you should get. And I guarantee you that you will enjoy this flick. This is a "MUST GET"~!!

Summary: Chick Flick
Review: I loved Dogma, Clerks and even dug Mallrats. Unfortunately, Chasing Amy didn't live up to my expectations. The rapid fire dialogue is similar to that in Smith's other films, but here most of the verbal exchange fall flat - or go on far too long. The only decent scene was the one with Jay and Silent Bob in it.

Summary: Excellent presentation of a difficult movie.
Review: This is the old laserdisc stuff moved to the DVD format and it's packed with great stuff.
First of all: This movie is about one man's difficulty dealing with his lover's sexual history. It's not pretty. There's a lot of comedy in it, but some scenes are just hard to watch, they're so raw. If you don't like that kind of thing, pass this by. It makes no apologies for its subject matter. (I have difficulty imagining many people buy the high-end DVD of a movie sight unseen, though, so the rest of this review assumes you've seen the film.) If you liked the movie somewhat, you might find the DVD worthwhile. Some of the scenes that were cut showed character development that might enrich your experience. If you liked the movie a lot, this DVD is indispensible. The cut-scenes, the trailers, the info, all adds to the experience. If you're looking at this DVD in terms of what you can learn about the film-making process from the commentary track, well, you could probably do better. The commentary track is great fun--six guys in a room who talk constantly about whatever's on their mind, occasionally referencing some part of the film--but there's not exactly a wealth of information about things like camera angles (a lot of running gags about how the director never moves the camera, though), set-ups, staging, whatever. There is some good stuff about cameras and quite a bit of good material on the acting. But it's not exactly, say, Mel Gibson's commentary on "Braveheart". All-in-all, I was personally pleased enough with this to put the DVDs for "Clerks", "Dogma" and "Mallrats" on my wish-list.
