Product Description
From Amazon.com
Writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks) makes a huge leap in sophistication with this strong story about a comic-book artist (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams) and actually gets his wish that she love him, too. Their relationship is attacked, however, by his business partner (Jason Lee), who pulls a very unsubtle Iago act to cast doubt over the whole affair. The film has the same sense of insiderness as Clerks--this time, Smith takes us within the arcane, funny world of comic-book cultism--but the themes of jealousy, deceit, and the high price of growing up enough to truly care for someone make this a very satisfying movie. --Tom Keogh

Well put together DVD,
This review is from: Chasing Amy (Widescreen) (DVD)
I think anyone who is an avid fan of DVD has been fooled at least once or twice by so-called "collector's edition" or "director's cut" DVDs, in which we are promised special features, but are left holding nothing more than boring running commentary and maybe one extra scene. However, you need to believe Kevin Smith when he tells you that the Criterion Collection Chasing Amy is worth the extra couple of bucks. I have been a fan of this movis for a long time, and I was blown away by the deleted scenes (of which there were atleast ten) and the commentary by the young, funny cast. I think it says a lot for the type of quality movies Smith does when you have a fairly big star such as Ben Affleck willing to take time out of his schedule to appear repeatedly on the extra segments included on this DVD. Any fan of this film should own the Criterion Collection of this wonderful movie, and it is especially a must own for big Kevin Smith fans, it is his best work yet.

Kevin Smith's Low Budget Masterpiece,
By Doug Turner (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chasing Amy (Widescreen) (DVD)
After the similarly funny novel, "The Losers' Club: Complete Restored Edition" by Richard Perez, Chasing Amy is the best Amazon purchase I made in a long time. Some people may say that this film is uneven, etc., but in my opinion there's so many great, heartfelt scenes that I can't seem to get enough of this flick, and I've taken to watching it over and over. Just think of the "confession scene" where Holden confesses his love -- I can't think of any film with such a heartfelt, soulful scene; and I love the scene where Alysa answers the Holden's question: "Why Me?" Then there's the great scene where Silent Bob tells the story of Amy. Amazing 'cause it's such a thoughtful scene but also funny. In short, I really need to recommend this movie to people who think Kevin Smith does nothing but make films full of dick and fart jokes. I say, yeah there are those jokes, but so much more to it! Pick up a copy of this great film, probably my favorite so-called romantic comedy of all time. And again I need to recommend "The Losers Club: Complete Restored Edition" -- very much related to this film.

another popular release.,
By Ted "Ted" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chasing Amy (Widescreen) (DVD)
This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edotion of the film.This film the third release in the Jersey "trilogy" (quintilogy to be exact) is also the one where Silent Bob speaks more than any other release. In this film,(Ben Affleck) a comic book artist falls in love with young women who is also a comic book artist, only to discover that she is lesbian. The film is not for children and like the film "Clerks" almost got an NC-17 rating based solely on sexual dialog. The Criterion DVD has numerous special features. The Criterion Collection remains the exclusive distributer for the film's DVD format as of the time this review is being written.
