Synopsis: Chasing Amy (1997)
Synopis: Best friends Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards are enjoying success as the creators of the cult comic book 'Bluntman and Chronic.' When they meet fellow comic book artist Alyssa Jones, Holden's desire for the beautiful charmer is immediate. Alyssa, however, has set her romantic sights elsewhere but decides, nevertheless, to pursue a friendship with Holden. This presents Holden with a dilemma: feeling the way he does, can he merely be friends with this woman? Banky, who knows Holden best, doesn't think so. As the friendship deepens, so do Holden's affections for Alyssa. And cautiously, yet effortlessly, so do Alyssa's for him. With their relationship strugging to define itself, Banky grows more and more frustrated at the notion of losing his best friend to emotional adulthood.Yahoo!

Kevin is the best
, November 25, 2001Reviewer: meganden - See all meganden's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Chasing Amy review helpful Once in a lifetime comes a Director/writer with the talent of Kevin Smith. Chasing Amy is a great movie that is both hilarious and also touching.Chasing Amy is a defining movie in the History of cinema and easily one of the best movies in the 1990's.With an actor like Jason lee it is not hard to see why this film works so well he is possibly the best actor of this or any other generation. The rest of the cast Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams are sublime as well. Kevin Smith I salute you. ... -
Both touching and humourous
, April 2, 2000Reviewer: cnmmedic - See all cnmmedic's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Chasing Amy review helpful Once again Kevin Smith has opened our eyes to a few of the trueisms that he is party to. This heart breaking tale combines truely crushing tragicomedy with well crafted light humour in a way witch shows no gaps in plot or character. Each of the main characters is beautifuly writen and artfully played. This film has not been afraid to develope character or hit a watcher where it hurts. Though the major speechs of the film are done as part of diologue they have the feel of soliloquys and the power which a well thought out monologue can have. Particularly strong was Ben Afflecks characters plea for Joey Lauren Adams characters love which would bring trars to the eyes of anyone who has felt thwarted love. Kevin Smiths own apearance as the rarely heard silent Bob with his annoying partner Jay keeps the film in context of Smiths series of films about love and life in the 90's though this is in many respects a more thoughtful film than even Clerks. Other high points were the song which Adams sings in the gay bar which shows the actresses talent for song. I wish it had ended differantly but I realise the terible cop out that would have been. ...
