    Half of this movie's problems would be solved by the word "bisexual."

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The only funny thing about this movie is the idea that someone would give up sleeping with women to date the goateed cry baby which is Ben Affleck.

    This movie isn’t that old but it feels like it belongs to an ancient era of history, one future scholars may look back on and call “The Snootchie Boochie Age.”

    Remember when that one straight guy you know baked you a cake shaped like a naked woman with huge breasts on your birthday, and you were totally okay with it and laughed hysterically together?

    Yeah. Me neither.

    Chasing Amy exists in a world where straight people are allowed to be abrasively, disgustingly rude toward queer people with absolutely no repercussion. Apparently you can just lob insults and ignorance at us all day long and we’ll still wanna be your friend.…

    I guess bisexuals didn't exist in 1997.

    Pains me to say that you can actually sort of see Kevin improving as a director in this. Nothing special by any means but his camera actually emphasizes dramatic moments instead of just sitting there waiting for an actor to do it and there's even a marginally compelling structure to it (the mirrored opening and closing scenes kind of work). However, none of it really matters because its all in service of the most mind-numbingly stupid idea for a movie…

    watch Carol (2015) dir. Todd Haynes for a subtle yet moving lesbian romance accompanied by a masterful score and beautiful performances by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara

    There was a time when, if you had the sudden compulsion to watch Chasing Amy, you literally had to go out and rent a DVD copy from the video store (or buy a used Criterion edition from Goodwill) and then put the DVD in your DVD player. In the old days, this cumbersome process would have been enough to destroy any curiosity. But now, if it's right there on the front page of a streaming site...

    Famously, Smith made this…

    i know it was a "different time" and everything but all of the interpersonal conflict in this movie feels like it takes place on another planet. nothing anyone feels or experiences in this movie is something that has happened on planet earth to an actual person. affleck is surprisingly good though i gotta say.
