| Chicago Sun-TimesDave HoekstraWorth seeing even if you're not a baseball fan, since Chasing October is about the ties that bind, as well as those that can break. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressChasing October is not the all-encompassing document on the Cubs that I'm sure even Matt Liston would love to see someday. But it is another chapter in the book racking up more disasters than the Old Testament. |
| User ReviewSalva AA great flick about what it means to be a Cubs fan. The fact that Matt Liston decided to make this film in 2003 is (unfortunately) almost too perfect. Most Cubs fans went into the season with moderate expectations, but we were all believing in October when they got SO close. It's not about curses. It's not about losers. It's about passion and believing that good things will happen to those who wait. Super cool flick for die-hard Cub fans. However, if you are truly passionate about the Cubs, heed the director's warning. Viewer discretion is advised. The 2003 post-season segment brings back lots of memories... (*Side note: Liston also worked on as production assistant for both Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, which has nothing to do with this movie, but makes me like him even more.) |
| User Reviewyou k2003 still breaks my heart. It is great being able to relive it though. |
| User ReviewPrivate UOne of the best movies ive ever seen. Its a must see for cub fans. |
| User ReviewBrian FAn entertaining docu-comedy along the lines of the Morgan Spurlock films, Chasing October follows the adventures of film-maker Matt Liston as he becomes an unofficial mascot for the Chicago Cubs during their devastating 2003 season. Looking at Matt's top three favorite things, you can begin to guess what happens in the film: 1) The Cubs, 2) Lou Malnati's Pizza, 3) Girlfriend. |
| User ReviewStacey LI felt the power, insanity, and pain of the 2003 season all over again. I love this film not just because I'm a Cubs fan and it legitmizes my obsession, but because it's hilarious and heart-breaking and oh-so-real. |
