Metacritic-Rezensionen

A true movie rarity: a brutally honest romance. If you loved "Sleepless in Seattle," you'll just hate it.

Touching, funny, sweet, and most important of all, real -- a welcome breath of fresh air.

The hit-and-run outlandishness of "Clerks" was a stunt. With Chasing Amy, Smith has made his first real movie.

Smith shows the grasp of character and offbeat humor that really registered in "Clerks," and a subtler mastery of film fluidity and professionalism than anything in the cheesy, amateurish "Mallrats."

What Smith does best in Chasing Amy is write clever, raunchy and emotionally true-to-life dialogue.

Smith has created the raunchiest romantic comedy in recent American film, and one of the most good-natured.

Much of the dialogue is good, and Smith does a decent job of presenting the emotional fallout from every major participant's p.o.v.

The only romantic comedy in quite a while that acknowledges, even celebrates, the fact that love and sex are emotional anarchy.

A romantic comedy distinguished by the particular roadblocks writer/director Kevin Smith throws up in front of his characters.

The intention is there, but the needed emotional maturity isn't.
