I think that Chasing Amy was definitely Kevin's best because it had a lot of heart. I know some people who don't like it either because they think the language is too raunchy or they don't like the lesbian angle, but this movie isn't really about that. Everyone can relate to it because of it's humanity and there's really a lot of beauty in that. To me it's not just about a guy who falls for lesbian, it's about two people just falling in love despite their adversities and learning to leave the past behind. Ultimately I think it's about regret. And as for the raunchy language, it wouldn't be a Kevin Smith movie if there wasn't a few dick and fart jokes in there.
And Jason Lee was amazing in that movie. His best work, I believe, and I've seen EVERYTHING that man has done, he's genius, I ****ing love that guy.
The only thing I'm not sure about is Joey Lauren Adams because I don't know if it would have been better had Kevin cast someone else, I mean did he cast her because they were dating at the time or did he really SEE her as this girl? I don't know, I just really don't like her singing....but I do like Joey Lauren Adams, I loved her in Dazed & Confused.
