I have a “love-hate” relationship with Romantic Comedies. I really appreciate a decent one – and a couple of examples I’d mediate “decent” are When Harry Met Sally and While You Were Sleeping. I also discover that there is probably no other movie genre that is as advantageous for “date night”: It’s where men and women’s interests overlap.

Bad Romantic Comedies can be really humdrum things, and many of my pet peeves about movies reach from this genre. For example, my LEAST accepted romantic comedy cliche is the moment 10 minutes before the ruin of the movie where our loving couple has THE “substantial fight” (often over nothing or something completely expressionless or forgettable), followed by one of the characters tearing off to the airport unprejudiced so that the OTHER partner will have the sudden revelation that they’ve *made a tall mistake* and go tearing off for the airport as well – usually arriving only moments slow. (With an equally cliche-filled smooching reunion that follows minutes later, before the demolish credits roll.)
But I digress. NONE of these gross cliche’s absorb this movie, which is chubby of almost believable characters and completely believable heartache.

Kevin Smith has now created a half-dozen films, and while I would classify all of them somewhere between “watchable” and “qualified”, “Chasing Amy” remains his masterpiece to date.
Holden (Ben Affleck) and Banky (Jason Lee) are 30ish buds-since-High-School who have grown into the guy fantasy job of writing a hit funny book. They find to alternate working on “Bluntman and Chronic” with making personal appearances at fan conventions where they secure paid to notice autographs.
At one of these conventions they hook up with another “graphic novelist”, Dwight Ewell’s Hooper X – who is constantly educating Holden and Banky about being dim and being joyful. Ewell steals all of his scenes because Hooper is a perfect mix of bravado and angst which sufficiently masks his inner conflict for being dusky and cheerful.
Hooper introduces our heroes to Alyssa Jones, portrayed in a career-making performance by Joey Lauren Adams. Alyssa is cute, silly, talented, witty and Affleck’s Holden falls for her in a mammoth scheme. He interrupts his usual routine with Banky impartial to meet up with Alyssa before finding out at the ruin of the first act that Alyssa is a lesbian.
A moment to discuss the language, themes and realism of the movie. Like the Kevin Smith films that preceded it, Chasing Amy uses language that is frank and fair and uses raw street vernacular to recount many things, in particular sex. I have heard many criticisms about the fable contained in Chasing Amy. Joey Lauren Adams doesn’t fit lesbian stereotypes, and among those who seem to know, it is ridiculous to believe that a lesbian might be keen in a man – even if (perhaps especially if) the man is Ben Affleck. These things must be celebrated to follow the movie. Smith makes it easy. In truth, the language and the express of homosexuality are side issues in what is essentially a truly novel Romantic Comedy.
Like Smith’s first feature Clerks (Collector’s Series) the central conflict in “Amy” concerns one character’s difficulties accepting the “history” of the other romantic interest. To say more would spoil the pleasure you would procure from enjoying the flick yourself, but it has to be stated that Smith’s resolution involves heartbreak, plenty of humor, no cliches and no airports.
If you assume you might appreciate an just romantic comedy that includes street language, frank discussions about sex and ecstatic characters, “Chasing Amy” fills the bill exactly.
This is a truly top-notch movie. It is the best Opinion Askew production yet. It has a touching fable,lots of hillarious jokes, and one of the best endings ever. This movie shows Kevin Smith can capture it to the next level. He gives a realistic gawk at relationships in the 90′s yet unexcited displays the adolescent humour that made his two previous films so toothsome. There are substantial performances by all the main characters. Joey Lauren Adams earned a well deserved Golden Globe nomination for her work. Jason Lee won an Independent Spirit award for his role as the overprotective buddy of Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck gives his best performance so far as Holden, the man questing after Alyssa(Adams) . The film also features a enormous soundtrack. Although none of the songs were written for the movie, each one fits the mood of the scene as if it were tailored honest for that scene.
