Review of Chasing Amy (1997) by Matt N — 15 Dec 2009
This is a movie that I was incredibly unsure about, I had just watched Clerks and Mallrats and decided to see what came next, this movie popped up as a kind of sequel.
Kevin Smith, for me, has the ability and potential to write some of the greatest known films for any decade. Something he has already done. I can honestly say I was really impressed with the film but not overly enjoying it as much as others, this may be because I prefer his comedies. Whilst the on screen pairing of Jason Lee and Ben Affleck is suitable, it isn't enough to emerge me into thinking this movie is serous enough, Ben just isn't that great as apposed. And whilst her voice does become sometimes annoying, Joey Lauren Adams showed off a great performance in, possibly, her best movie.
With some emotional and touching scenes Chasing Amy really does deliver what it sets out, this movie is a more mature look on relationships by Kevin Smith and I did like how Jay and Silent Bob made a cameo. My honest result is that it's miles better than Jersey Girl, but NO Clerks.
