Editorial Review: Description: Chasing Amy is the third installment in the "New Jersey Trilogy" from award-winning writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma). Cult comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck) falls in love with fellow artist Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), only to be thwarted by her sexuality, the disdain of his best friend Banky (Jason Lee), and his own misgivings about himself. Filled with Smith's unique ear for dialogue and insight into relationships, Chasing Amy offers a thoughtful, funny look at how perceptions alter lives, and how obsession and self-doubt skew reality. Amazon.com: Writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks) makes a huge leap in sophistication with this strong story about a comic-book artist (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams) and actually gets his wish that she love him, too. Their relationship is attacked, however, by his business partner (Jason Lee), who pulls a very unsubtle Iago act to cast doubt over the whole affair. The film has the same sense of insiderness as Clerks--this time, Smith takes us within the arcane, funny world of comic-book cultism--but the themes of jealousy, deceit, and the high price of growing up enough to truly care for someone make this a very satisfying movie. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Chasing Amy Rocks!Having seen Chasing Amy on the premium movie channels a number of times I knew I had to purchase it for my film library. This film just works on so many levels. The characters are so interesting and the relationships to intense and real. A definate must have.... Rating: - Let's Be FriendsLet's Be Friends Let's be friends. Don't you hate to hear those two words and one contraction? Ouch. You have been placed firmly in the 'friend' bag and there is no way out. I bet you that auteur Kevin Smith has been there, many times, but he found a way out! Yes, behind-the-scenes gossip says that he was dating Joey Lauren Adams while directing this little indy romcom. Why wasn't she with her co-star, the handsome Ben Affleck? Or even Jason Lee, long before he was the star of My Name ...

I must confess, I haven't seen the entire movie. I turned it off a minute or two into the pivotal scene in which he and she discuss sexual histories. It was just too lame to watch. I'm suprised that Ben Affleck (or Joey Lauren Adams, for that matter) hasn't bought up all the copies just to prevent that supreme moment of Bad Acting from being ...

You won't believe how many times they say the f-word, probably over 200 times. I don't mind foul language in films but when every other word is dirty it does get on your nerves. Thank god the two stars have wonderful chemistry together, how cute is Joey Lauren's voice, adorable! This is a mixed bag for me, deicide for yourself. Rating: - ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!This is simply one of the most intelligent, thought-provoking, but still funny (with Kevin Smith's insight and vulgarity all rolled together) films I've ever seen! Ben Affleck plays Holden, a comic book artist who falls for fellow comic book artist, a lesbian named Alyssa...played brilliantly by Joey Lauren Adams. Jason Lee plays Holden's business partner, Banky, who seems to have more trouble with his friend's relationship than you would expect if Banky was straight. The scene where Holden proclaims ...
