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.

Chasing Kevin! - 5 out of 5 (2/14/2003)
"Chasing Amy" was that self-confessed special film for director Kevin Smith. His first film, "Clerks" went on to much-deserved high praise and his second, "Mallrats" went on to much undeserved bashing.
"Chasing Amy" was his final story in the New Jersey trilogy. It is a special story in which all of the characters grow up to become the best adults that they can be.

Still Smith's landmark achievement - 4.5 out of 5 (12/12/2002)
It's hard to believe that I have loved this movie for five years already. It's a shame it was only out in theaters for a week (I still saw it three times). It is a perfect mixture of humor and purity. This film is full of brilliant performances. It showcases all of why Affleck is a star and why Jason Lee should be a star. Even with all the great acting, Smith steals the show with his wonderful script. Damn, this is wonderful!

Before Chasing Amy, director Kevin Smith had made only two previous films, Clerks and Mallrats, which were for the most part screwball comedies. With "Amy", the third installent of the New Jersey trilogy, Smith displayed elements of sharp humor, but this time mixed in with some truly touching moments of a complicated romance from two people from different worlds. It added up to what was one of the best films of 1997.
Ben Affleck stars, in the last film before he hit the big time with Good Wil
