April 10, 2009The Kevin Smith gang in a slowly paced but an enjoyable story about a guy falling for a lesbian.

November 15, 2008In many aspects this is a typical Kevin Smith movie: full of geeks, dirty jokes and dialoges, comic cons, movie references and discussions (especially the Lando Calrissian argument is hilarious) and of course Jay and Silent Bob, but also a lot more serious themes than in his othe...( read more)

September 29, 2008To me a film can have no action and no real special effects and still be great. If that film can take it's characters and make them interesting by making them speak the way we know people do, then you are left with a fantastic film. So is the case with Kevin Smith's wonderful fil...( read more)

July 21, 2008Kevin Smith's greatest films were always way put in oblivion. It seems like when he does make a film that's a little more serious it's a dull ride that bores you into submission. Chasing Amy has some classic Kevin Smith scenes and dialogue (the Jaws homage is classic) but as the ...( read more)

While the surface of his film sparkles with sharp, ironic dialogue, deeper issues are forming, and Chasing Amy develops into a film of touching insights. full review

January 5, 2009Joey lauren adams got robbed for not earning a golden globe and oscar nomination. I thought that it was her best work and did a great job with her character.

April 24, 2008message for smith haters and lovers: This movie is NOT deep and insightful. Also, the characters were homophobic and ignorant, not the writer. That was a pretty big point of the story.

"DyanaWeissman Crap crap crappy movie! Kevin Smith needs to be sent to an alternate universe, populated only by his fans, and leave the rest of humanity free of his pot-fueled, unoriginal, irritating dialogue; his crappy ddirecting; and his complete lack of knowledge of women. Joey Lauren Adams takes an annoying character and makes her 1000 times more painful to watch. I liked Clerks, but not enough to suffer everything else I have been put through by Kevin Smith and his fans."
I AGREE (READ MY REVIEW). THIS MOVIE IS JUST HOMOPHOBIC GARBAGE. WHAT THE HECK DOES KEVIN SMITH UNDERSTAND ABOUT LESBIANS & BISEXUAL FEMALES. HE JUST TOOK A BUNCH OF TIRED OLD STERIOTYPES & PUT THEM IN A MOVIE TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK PC, BUT IN ACTUALITY HE FAILED MISERABLY, & BECAUSE OF THIS FILM HE'S ACTUALLY SET THE WHOLE GAY & LESBIAN COMMUNITY BACK ABOUT 20 YEARS. I SAY WE MAKE HIM MARCH IN A GAY PRIDE PARADE & LET THE SPECTATORS PELT HIM WITH ROTTEN TOMATOES & RELEVANT LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT. -
August 6, 2007out of all the kevin smith movies this is the deepest and most meanigful of them all. it's nice to know he's not just about d!ck and fart jokes. don't get me wrong i love a good d!ck and fart joke as much as the next guy, but at least he paces himself here
