Although I cannot be lumped into the "movie-going public," I am an avid viewer of motion pictures. I prefer to view them in my private screening (living) room. Kevin Smith has never failed to keep me laughing throughout his films.

When I first saw Chasing Amy (on DVD), I felt that a movie maker had finally taken the gamble at targeting an intelligent audience. I have sat with various audiences (different personal friends, that is) and have noticed that less than 20% of them got "it." It is rare to find a film that is directed at the higher eschelon on the inteligence scale that can still entertain the masses. Bravo Mr. Smith. Keep up the great work.

I aspire to someday do the same to my audiences. All I need now is to find my talent!

I first saw this film as fourth grader. The songs and voices of the characters have never left my memories. I showed it to my son, currently a third grader, and he was equally enraptured throughout the entire presentation. Very few theatrical presentations can withstand that test of time. Children today are not as easy to entertain as my generation was. It is a tribute to this production that it still packs a punch. The production, as does the book, teaches children invaluable life lessons in the entertaining manner they need to be taught to hold their attention. My only complaint about this release is that it is not offered on DVD.
