Starring: Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Lee, Dwight Ewell
Director: Kevin Smith
It's a tribute to a smartly written script that the triangular relationships are played out in hip, flip language, but are not trivialized. These characters may be wry, rude and foul-mouthed, but they are grappling with honest human emotion.
What really make the film special is that, while still being packed with foul language and pop culture references, this film is the only one in which Smith really seems to care about his characters and their lives.
Não é difícil perceber quando um filme foi feito com carinho. 'Procura-se Amy' é um exemplo claro disso.

Top CriticCovers the tricky turf of sexual politics with zest and creativity.
Can a script exploring some truly deep questions about human sexuality and emotions be any shoddier and wooden? Will Miramax continue to fund one of the worst directors in the business? Don’t stay tuned.
Smith has apprehended something profound about the fluidity of sexual identity and the solipsism that drives a wedge between even the most passionate lovers.
It's fun and infantile and vulgar, like Clerks, but with a really mature message and well-developed characters.
tackles issues and explores situations that many other filmmakers have shied away from
...rivals a 1930s screwball comedy -- although the subject matter certainly does not.
It's a rude blast of gleeful provocation, a farce about emotional pain, a drama about sexual slapstick.
Work of such fierce intelligence and emotional honesty that it blows away the competition when it comes to contemporary romantic comedy.
Top CriticAdams adds a sexy, zesty kick, but the real punch comes from Lee as Affleck's sidekick and virtual Butt-head.
Top CriticAlthough the intermittent stupidity and vulgarity of Smith's characters is sometimes painful to watch, the film's refreshing realism is an invaluable experience.
It could prove to be as bad a date movie for some couples as it might be a real turn-on for others. Anyone with set ideas about sex roles or orientations is likely to get steamed.
Kevin Smith seems to be spilling his guts in this movie.
A well-written and acted romantic drama that marks a step forward in the promising career of Kevin Smith.
Not everything worked or made sense, but the characters and their problems seemed real.
Lacks insight and finesse, and feels like a boldfaced Rorschach for Smith's own hang-ups.
Funny, romantic, and a bit challenging.
