CHASING AMY (1997)

Cast

Plot

Seriously insightful, if saucy, romantic comedy from director Kevin Smith, the genius behind Clerks and Mallrats. Cult comic strip creators Holden (Ben Affleck) and Banky (Jason Lee) have an unshakeable 20 year friendship, until a spanner's thrown into the works in the shapely form of Alyssa, with whom Holden falls immediately and hopelessly in love. That Alyssa is a confirmed lesbian does little to deter the lovestruck Holden, who continues his relentless pursuit with a vigour matched only by newly-redundant best mate Banky's utter disgust. A razor sharp script bursting with hilariously graphic sexual debate makes this a painfully funny Generation-X flick with truly inspired insight.
