Chasing Amy

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing!

This is it!!! Kevin Smith has put together an absolutely amazing movie this time! If your a Kevin Smith fan this will leave you begging for more and if your a newcomer to the Askew series you will see the light!

This is by far my favorite of...

Pros: Storyline, characters, originality, moving film
Cons: Jay and Silent Bob should've been there more

Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith's 3rd film, is considered by many to be his best. I personally find it hard to compare his movies, and when I saw this one for my first time, I didn't like it.

OK, that's not true. I liked it, but not as much as the...

Pros: Good Cast
Cons: No action just linear dialog

The situation in this movie, although crude and not very likely, is able to make a star out of Joey Lauren Adams. The situation they put the characters in was a funny one from the beginning but the way it all comes together makes it a classic in my...

Pros: Great plot and acting
Cons: Doesn't follow Smith's tradition format

After creating 'Clerks' and 'Mallrats' it was assumed that Kevin Smith's next movie 'Chasing Amy' would follow the same format, ultimately just a comedy. Not saying that comedies are bad, they just tend to lack a very strong and serious plot. Little...

Pros: Wonderful script, touching story, something everyone can relate to.
Cons: A little on the long side, and too graphic for some viewers.

Chasing Amy is another hit for director/writer Kevin Smith. This movie was quite a twist, however, for those who watched it expecting a laugh riot like Smith presented in Clerks and Mallrats.
Chasing Amy is a much more serious flick....

Pros: Kevin Smith's dialog and the acting
Cons: Hm....

Reviewers have said of Chasing Amy --

Kevin Smith made a hit with the low budget Clerks. Then he flopped with Mallrats. Fortunately he came back and got it right with Chasing Amy.

Personally, I say all three movies are great, but...

Pros: funny, well scripted, unusual
Cons: language and subject matter not suitable for kids

You have to see this movie! I am a bug fan of Kevin Smith, and this is right up there with Mallrats! I laughed the whole movie, I mean I was coughing up blood I laughed so hard!
The movie is about a comic book artist who falls in love with a girl,...

Pros: Creative Plot
Cons: Very vulgar and sexually oriented

Kevin Smith returns to the screen in his third writing, directing, producing, and semi-starring in flick with "Chasing Amy." A comedy about two struggling comic book creators by the names of Banky and Holden. These two are trying to meet their...

Pros: Funny, brilliantly scripted. Highly entertaining.
Cons: None.

CHASING AMY: Comedy. Damn, I really, REALLY liked Kevin Smith’s (“Clerks”, "Mallrats", "Dogma") new film, “Chasing Amy”, about a sci-fi comic book writer/artist (Ben Affleck as Holden) who falls madly in love with another sci-fi...

Pros: A funny film.
Cons: A little long, so-so acting.

After reading beerwench's opinion on this film, I have to wonder why she's so hostile about what's supposed to be a lighthearted romantic comedy? This is supposed to be a funny movie..funny, as in NOT-serious, as in maybe you'll laugh once in a while,...

Pros: everything, cast, director
Cons: two kind of cheesy lines, but even they fit into the character

Chasing Amy is possibly one of the most engaging movies I have ever seen, when I first saw it in the theatre I really didnt know what the movie was about, but in about 15 min. I knew exactly what was going on. For those of you who dont know, the movie is...

Pros: excellent direction, good acting
Cons: touchy issue for some people

Having a friend who is a film major, I get exposed to a lot of movies that are not exactly mainstream. He recommended Kevin Smith, the director of "Chasing Amy", to me and I now understand why. "Chasing Amy" is everything. It...

Pros: A Kevin Smith movie. Different from the other, in a good way.
Cons: Causes other movies to pale in comparison :)

Kevin Smith movies, in chronological order:
Clerks
Mallrats
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay and Silent Bob: Strike Back
-------------------------------------------
To me, all of these were masterpieces. However, some people...

Pros: Kevin Smith is one of the most gifted filmmakers ever
Cons: There are only gonna be 5 Jay and Bob Movies

When i first rented Chasing amy on DVD i had just seen Mallrats. I read the back of the box and said "wow!!! a movie about lesbians!!! awesome!!!" Little did i know how much of an impact the movie would have on my outlook on life. Kevin Smith's...

Pros: great love story, funny, Joey Lauren Adams
Cons: Joey Lauren Adams singing (Okay, she's not that bad)

This is a true story.

Kevin Smith neglects to tell you that at the beginning of the movie. Actually, Chasing Amy is a very personal statement for Smith (writer, director & Silent Bob) who uses this movie to explore his relationship with Joey...
