#18 - Chasing Amy

The third movie in the Askewniverse Saga. Yeah, I know I watched this before Mallrats, but this one was readily available so what the hell? I liked it. Kevin Smith was taking his movies seriously here. Something he never really did before or since, at least not to this extent. If anything he took things too seriously. Whereas Mallrats was too goofy, this film was leaning too far the other way and neither of them achieved the balance he had on Clerks. Still I like this film, it was simple and honest and basically Kevin Smith spilling his guts on the screen, but not literally, because that would be gross. So yeah, if you feel like a more serious look into the Askewniverse, check this one out. It definitely isn’t Mallrats.
