They like to do this kind of thing. When someone makes a kick ass flick it becomes very hip to bash it. When TPM came out they started pointing out the stupidest shit:
1.) Jar Jar's a gay stereotype
2.) Jar Jar's a black stereotype
3.) The story was bad (actually the story was far more developed than in the orignal trilogy.)
4.) The special effects were bad (I've actually heard this one before)
Kevin predicted it in his Phantom Merkin review. Now the same thing's happening to him.
And if you call Chasing Amy downhill or less than Clerks you have a screw lose. Within it's genre (romantic comedy I believe) it's the best film I've ever seen.
