    Chasing Amy

    This movie recieved great reviews (atleast at the Netflixs site) so I gave it a shot. All I can say is...strange.

    I like off beat films. This one did not work for me. They story tried to make comedy, of a serious and very difficult postion, that many people on this earth face. None of the characters (except Jay & Silent Bob) really deliver the goods.

    This one is not worth a rental imo.

      I was shocked that I didn't like it. I enjoyed Kevin Smith's work in Dogma so....I was wrong.

        I was also looking to buy this as well. I think I'll still try and rent it sometime down the road.

          I think the 2nd act of the film is the strongest part of this film. I think it's emotionally very honest.

          I'd rank it in the top 2 of Kevin Smith films.

            Humm, if it's on Criterion = strange :W

            This is one of those titles I always pick up at the rental shop, but then set back down.

              Another thing that shocked me. The video was not Criterion status. Maybe it was intentional.
