Top review. A Multi-Level Classic. They now work together on a comic book called "Bluntman and Chronic", which is basically Jay and Silent Bob as superheroes Note: It's probably best that you've seen Clerks and Mallrats beforehand, as this is the third in his interconnected Askewniverse series, which refers to characters, places, and events throughout each film and has the one constant of Jay and Bob in it.
One night, Holden falls in love with Alyssa Jones while playing darts after a comicon. The next night, he goes to see her and finds out she's a lesbian. However, they become friends and and he soon enough falls in love with her, and they start a relationship, much to Banky's disgust, throwing their friendship into the trash.
This film not only is a great story and a meaningful message about friendship, love, and accepting the past, but an allegory for the years before he made this movie. Notice how "Bluntman And Chronic" is a hit but critically slammed in the DVD special features of deleted scenes , just like Mallrats was.
Also, Alyssa is literally and figuratively Joey Lauren Adams, Smith's girlfriend at the time who he broke up with over her past. All the characters are him on some level. This movie rocks.

In this film's many touching dialogue scenes, Alyssa and Holden spill out their secrets. In a lesser movie, that would be that. The closing scenes, which I will not reveal, spring deeper psychological surprises, and there is a three-way meeting among Holden, Alyssa and Banky that is moving and yet written with the skill of a screwball comedy.
As Alyssa, Joey Lauren Adams is a discovery. She has the kind of deep voice and conspiratorial smile that make you think she could be a buddy as well as a lover. Ben Affleck's role is tricky--emotionally, his character makes the biggest changes--and he always makes us believe him. Jason Lee's sidekick is good at not showing us all his cards; at the end, when it's important to know how he really feels, he doesn't make it easy for us.
And Kevin Smith himself appears as Silent Bob, the character he's played in all three of his films. This time, Silent Bob opens up, with a heartfelt parable that explains who Amy was, and why she was being chased. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
Jason Mewes as Jay. Ben Affleck as Holden. Dwight Ewell as Hooper. Joey Lauren Adams as Alyssa. Jason Lee as Banky. Both comic book writers, they originally met at a comic con and quickly became close friends.
Holden assumes that Alyssa can simply choose to strike up a relationship with him. Her lesbianism, by this point in the film, has been extremely well-established — to everyone, it seems, except Holden.
Holden suggests that all she might need is a period of adjustment. Chasing Amy was, in many ways, ahead of its time. At the time of its release, and in the years since , a number of queer critics and academics have criticized the film for attempting to school its audience of primarily straight nerd-bros in Lesbianism how sex between women works; virginity as a social construct only to end up punishing its lesbian character for her sloppy sexual history.
Ultimately, the film assumes that a lesbian can go straight, even if just for a little while, as soon as the right guy comes along.
But no, I think Chasing Amy is important only to me, at the end of the day. At one point during our conversation, Smith got audibly choked up, remembering the moment when Miramax said it was going to buy the film. After Smith finished his first draft of the Chasing Amy script, he showed it to Guinevere Turner, the screenwriter and actor behind Go Fish: a mega-low budget indie about a group of lesbian friends directed and co-written by Rose Troche, which remains a pivotal work in lesbian cinema.
But before Turner saw the script, Smith says, she partially inspired it. After the festival ended, Mosier kept in touch with Turner — and, according to Smith, developed a bit of a crush. At the time, Smith told Mosier to convert his heartache into content and make a movie about a guy who falls in love with a lesbian.
A lot of lesbians I know really loved the movie. I love pussy too. I doubt that many of them identify with me. And not like they get me better — not at all. I think that comes from being raised primarily by my mom I guess being an outsider has something to do with it too.
