Chasing Amy Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
With their matching hipster goatees and deadpan cynicism, Affleck and Lee evince the easy rapport of old buds.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
There is a lot of frank conversation about the technical aspects of sex between women, but Holden and Banky are written more like sniggering eighth graders than inquisitive adults.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
As in Smith's debut film, Clerks, there's something about the scruffy Chasing Amy that breaks through the pretenses of more conventional movies.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Even when its young, uncertain characters appear to be in danger of talking (and whining) themselves to death, there's something genuine and charmingly naive about their attempts to make sense of their feelings.
New York Daily News
Dave Kehr
Chasing Amy is not yet a mature work Smith still needs a style to go with his sensibility but its yearning for maturity is palpable and touching.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
The performances are universally strong. The goateed Affleck makes for a particularly sympathetic protagonist; he has the looks and confidence of a lady-killer, but nagging befuddlement and vulnerability are rarely far from the surface.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
The third installment of Kevin Smith's New Jersey Trilogy is also the only Kevin Smith movie that's worth any serious attention.
Slant Magazine
Matt Noller
Chasing Amy suggests that Smith could do so much better if only he would push himself.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Smith isn't just fooling around anymore.
The Hollywood Reporter
The third time out is the real charm for writer-director Kevin Smith.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Neither PC nor crudely anti-PC, this tough and tender movie, like its characters, is prepared to take emotional risks, and the comic book milieu is deftly sketched in.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Amusing and appealing.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Instead of cool twenty-something irony, Smith startles us with raw emotional honesty.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Smith is at his best when he's letting his movie be silly. The more he chases significance, the more Chasing Amy fails to find its way.
Washington Post
Eric Brace
Can a script exploring some truly deep questions about human sexuality and emotions be any shoddier and wooden? Will Miramax continue to fund one of the worst directors in the business? Don't stay tuned.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's a rude blast of gleeful provocation, a farce about emotional pain, a drama about sexual slapstick.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Work of such fierce intelligence and emotional honesty that it blows away the competition when it comes to contemporary romantic comedy.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A brutally honest romance. If you loved Sleepless in Seattle, you'll just hate it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Lacks insight and finesse, and feels like a boldfaced Rorschach for Smith's own hang-ups.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Smith makes it crackle, with various aggressive honesties and wit.
