A Review of Chasing Amy

Chasing Amy is considered to be Kevin Smiths masterpiece and it truly shows that every time I watch it. It is a movie that battles the demons of modern society through a humorous aspect. This movie stars Ben Aflek,Jason Lee,and the beautiful Joey Lauren Adams. The story's main focus is on the relationship between Holden (Aflek) and Alyssa (Adams). Alyssa is a gay woman and Holden is a straight man who is hopelessly in love with her. Holden's friend Banky(Lee) constantly gay bashes and hiding behind a fake cover hiding his true feelings. This movie combines the feel of Romeo and Juliet meets Smith's previous work Clerks. Chasing Amy has a sweetheart beneath the potty mouth exterior in this tale of star crossed lovers. This movie has the best scene near the middle where Aflek makes a speech that literally proves he is one of the best and most deserving actors of this time. See this movie immediately is my only recommendation if you don't you will miss your opportunity to see one of the greatest films of all time. 10/10
