Chasing Amy

Pros: A deft touch provides a funny, intelligent and provocative film which should be enjoyed by all.
Cons: Ben Affleck has a not entirely pleasant beard.

So Clerks was entertaining and quirky with a dollop of tastelessness, Mallrats was tasteless with (large) dollop of entertainment and quirkiness. Both of them are entertaining and worth watching. But then neither of them were based on examining and...

Pros: honest characters, very funny
Cons: tends to follow stereotypes

For two years of my life, the moment anyone found out that I as a female have an ex-girlfriend the first or second thing I heard was "Have you seen 'Chasing Amy'?" As if watching the movie were some sort of pre-requisite for being queer and...

Pros: Hilarious and interesting
Cons: Takes a couple times to get all the jokes

About a year ago I turned into a huge Clerks fan. I quickly went out and rented Mallrats, loved it, then rented Chasing Amy and didn't really like it too much. Then, about two months ago I bought Chasing Amy (just because I'm a diehard Kevin Smith fan)...

Pros: A terrific script, well-acted and -directed.
Cons: Less-than-exciting camera work.

If making a convincing love story between a heterosexual male and a lesbian sounds like an impossible task, then writer-director Kevin Smith has accomplished the impossible with the final installment of his New Jersey trilogy, Chasing Amy. A...

Pros: Great Affleck; great acting for main cast
Cons: Affleck's wise guy cracks

This is one of Ben Affleck's earliest films, back to when he really used to work really hard on his movie dialogues. I wasn't expecting director Kevin Smith to be that great anyway, I never heard of him before. Nor did I know Affleck at that time. I...

Pros: Funny , real and it has a moral
Cons: none

I watched Chasing Amy(for the 4th time) with my girlfriend (her first viewing)last night and enjoyed it as much as when I saw it in the theatre. Each time I've seen this movie I've been able to appreciate it on another level. I just got it for...

Pros: Brilliant script, dialog and acting!
Cons: 10 minutes of Jason Mewes & Silent Bob

This is one totally BRILLIANT movie. Not for everyone, but for those who like their comedy intelligently yet sexually and sarcastically raw this is Amy. This is Kevin Smith at his second best to Dogma. While we are at it let me rank them. Dogma 5...

Pros: A realistic plot
Cons: Doesn't always hold your complete attention

When I first heard about this movie, I had no interest whatsoever about seeing it. However, it has become one of my favorites. It is a story of lies and truth, hurt and happiness, and love and hate. It all starts off as an innocent crush that Holden...

Pros: jay and silent bob
Cons: not funny and the storyline makes no sense

I love Kevin Smith movies, Clerks and Mallrats were great movies. I have no idea where Chasing Amy came from. The other movies have good storylines, real people (well almost) with believable dialogue and funny storylines. Chasing Amy is just stupid....

Pros: Good acting, and plot. Not a typical love story
Cons: Joey Lauren Adams' voice :-)

The film explores sexuality, love, and friendship in a very unique and somewhat twisted kind of way.

The very thing that makes the movie so interesting is the story, written by Kevin Smith, one of the new generation directors, that...

Pros: Great script, terrific acting
Cons: Unpolished direction on the part of Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith's movies give whole new meaning to the term "talkies". He writes terrific, believable characters and gives them gobs of dialog. That could be problem if the dialog itself was not so real and unforced. It has the familiar ring of...

Pros: Adams and Affleck are great together, great comedy
Cons: none

This is the first movie I ever saw that starred Joey Lauren Adams and I thought she was great. Put her together with Ben Affleck and you have one very funny movie. It has its serious moments, but even those are made to into a comedy in one way or...

Pros: Great unique story line
Cons: Odd story and certainly adult in nature

"chasing Amy" was a delightful and interesting movie. Jason Lee and Ben Affleck are best friends and do everything together. Enter Amy. Ben Affleck's character falls head over heels in love with this beautiful and fun loving young lady. Enter...

Pros: Great different romantic comedy
Cons: Most of the comedy is fairly crude

I saw this movie, because I am a huge Kevin Smith fan. After watching it once it instantly became one of my favorites. "Chasing Amy" stars Ben Affleck ("Good Will Hunting"), Joey Lauren Adams ("Dazed and Confused"), and in...

Pros: Wonderful story
Cons: Ending that leaves you thinking another film was attached at the end

"Chasing Amy" offers one of the simplist stories portrayed on film in the 1990s. And, like Yankee pinstripes, it is so simple it is nearly wonderful.

Boy meets girl. Girl is lesbian. Boy attempts to get lesbian to "change...
