Returning back to his roots of lower-budget, script-based drama/comedy, Kevin Smith has created his second masterpiece in three tries. Chasing Amy is the most honest movie I've ever seen.
For a movie shot using only a quarter of a million dollars, it is a surprisingly well-constructed, the script is every bit as good as Clerks' was. While many parts are hilarious, and there are some very great lines, Chasing Amy is a drama all the way, and a very good one. Smith knows how to make fun of love and sex while recognizing how serious it can be to those involved. Not an instant of this movie is anything but directly on-target.
