Movie Review by AJ

I love Kevin Smith for how he manages to make geek totally chic. With Chasing Amy, he's actually made a complex, deeply moving love story centered around several comic book creators. That is just insanely cool, and I give my heart to the movie if only for that reason. But oh, are there others. His screenplay is brilliant, with his usual vulgar comedy (his frankness is one of his strong suits, and why the movie works as well as it does) complementing the highly emotional moments. And they truly are highly emotional, especially whenever Joey Lauren Adams is involved. She gives an incredibly strong and powerful performance here which is undoubtedly her best, and Ben Affleck gives his best performance as well in a time before he was best known for his couple-y "Bennifer" shenanigans. This is also Smith's best, most personal and intensely affecting work...how can he top this?

| I adore this film. Everything about it. By far, Kevin Smith's most important and most sincere effort. And that's what I call a "shared" moment. |

Dogma is a great film. But Chasing Amy is something everyone can relate to and learn from.
