Rating: 2/5 -- A reductive juncture in Smith's career compared to his more situationally-specific and fine-tuned predecessors, Clerks and Mallrats. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- With their matching hipster goatees and deadpan cynicism, Affleck and Lee evince the easy rapport of old buds. Full Review

There is a lot of frank conversation about the technical aspects of sex between women, but Holden and Banky are written more like sniggering eighth graders than inquisitive adults. Full Review

...This is Smith's most provocative outing yet and certainly the toughest to forget...

...A riotous, ferociously smart love story....[Adams has] four dimensions and a mouth big enough to prove it...

What's best about Chasing Amy is that it matters in a way Smith's other films don't -- it throbs with real feelings and frustrated inadequacy. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- The performances are universally strong. The goateed Affleck makes for a particularly sympathetic protagonist; he has the looks and confidence of a lady-killer, but nagging befuddlement and vulnerability are rarely far from the surface. Full Review

Product Description:

When handsome young comic book creator Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) meets cute young comic book creator Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams), romance seems preordained. But Holden is soon confronted with Alyssa's complex sexual history, as well as his friend and colleague Banky's (Jason Lee) conflicted and enraged response to the affair. Despite the seriousness of the issues, director Kevin Smith keeps the laughs coming, even as Holden goes through hell and grows up.
