Chasing Amy Official Trailer #1 - (1997) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
A comic book artist (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a woman (Joey Lauren Adams) before finding out that she is a lesbian.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
After a pair of films about hipster slackers, the work of writer-director Kevin Smith matured and gained critical respect with this low budget, independent comedy-drama about love, sex and the fine line between the two. Ben Affleck stars as Holden McNeil, a New Jersey comic book writer who is roommates with his best friend and professional partner, artist Banky Edwards (Jason Lee). Their hit comic book series, "Bluntman and Chronic," is loosely patterned after a pair of acquaintances, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (played by Smith), two characters already familiar as supporting players in several Smith films. Into Holden's life comes Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams), a lesbian and fellow comic book creator who quickly becomes a close friend, although Holden is powerfully attracted to her. Eventually, Alyssa realizes that she is attracted to Holden as well and they begin a physical relationship, much to the consternation of Banky, whose ire over losing his best friend to a lesbian seems to border on romantic jealousy. After he learns something about Alyssa's sexual past, however, Holden's immature response to his new knowledge destroys both his romance with Alyssa and his friendship with Banky. Chasing Amy (1997) was the third film in what Smith referred to as his "New Jersey series," films set at least partly in the Garden State and featuring the Jay and Silent Bob characters.

The 90's version trailer from Gone Girl

[god-son-love]

I thought romantic movie usually targets women. This one seems to target men as the market. Turning a lesbian into straight is definitely a fantasy.

[rockfan]

I love them '90s theatrical trailers

[winterlynn]

As a teenager the plot of this annoyed me. I didn't get why the characters (including Alyssa herself) made such a big deal about her being a lesbian and falling for a man. Not once did she or any other character question the possibility that maybe she was bisexual rather than flat out gay. Even if that wasn't the case it was never even touched upon. I loved the film as a teen in the 90s but that kinda bugged me back then. Oh well lol..still love this film, trailer does it no justice whatsoever. Despite being young when it was released i related a lot to Joey Lauren Addams character and as a bisexual teen I was going through some drama/love triangle at the time and this movie captured a lot of those feelings of confusion and heartache perfectly. Now as an adult I can appreciate it for many other reasons as well. Great movie, terrible trailer.

[ShortyLongstrokin]

Interesting how as recently as 1997, the film's marketers felt like they had to tiptoe around the fact that she's gay -- only insinuating it, but never even mentioning it directly or using the words "gay" or "lesbian" in the trailer just to appeal to a broader audience.

The actress amy gives me renee zellweger vibes

[GraViTyAboVe]

haha! for me it's chasing Kelley. I like that quote as well "sex is easy, love is hard."

[avanishdutta]

This was in the criterion collection, along with clerks. I don't know what happened to kevin smith, but even roger ebert said he was a great future filmmaker. He was really good.

[EBThisThat]

I've seen every Jay & Silent Bob film but never this one. Looks like a gem !

[tunituni]

Is this movie about a guy "turning" a lesbian straight?? (Cause that's kinda what I got from the trailer)

[knifeforkandaspoon]

There should be a sequel called "Searching For Amy" because what ever happened to Joey Lauren Adams?

[Jodey_DeLaurentlis]

Anybody here after jay and silent bob reboot? Just me.. ok 😂

[bradydavis]

This movie is basically about two insecure men (one repressed and closeted) and a woman caught between their unresolved bullshit.

[yatox]

LOL the narration is like what they make fun of on Family Guy.

[Heisen-dn]

0:42 who would believe this guy to be Batman?

[psycholife]

Just bought this movie and it's great

[huttylion]

1990's shitty trailers, awesome movies... 2013 awesome trailers, shitty movies.

[Seekarr]

Wow, the trailer gave away about 80% of the plot.

[hashimzuberi]

Does anyone know the name of the song whose music starts at 0:49? It's also used in earlier seasons of Friends

[whiplash]

I always wondered what happened to the actress who played Amy, I thought that would be her break out hit and she would turn out to be the next big name actress but she just disappeared after that. I think the last film she was ever in was an Adam Sandler film.
