In Chasing Amy, lifelong best friends Holden and Banky are enjoying success as the creators of the cult hit comic book Bluntman and Chronic. When they meet fellow comic-book artist Alyssa, Holden's desire for her is immediate. Alyssa, however, has set her romantic sights elsewhere. In spite of this, a friendship blooms, which presents Holden with a dilemma--feeling as he does can he merely be friends with this woman? Banky doesn't think so, and grows more and more frustrated at the notion of losing his best friend to emotional adulthood. Chasing Amy showcases Smith's keen ear for dialogue, his no-holds-barred take on friendships and relationships, and above all, his ability to see life a little askew, with a sharp, sometimes confrontational sense of humor that makes him such a singular voice in film today.

"You know the dyke stuff in the Penthouse Letters section is written by guys--this is our chance to get the inside scoop."
-Banky

Quotes


I know this is an old cliche, but it's true. This movie will make you laugh and it will make you cry. Kevin Smith has done it again. The man is a genius folks, I don't know what else to say. Promising young actor Ben Affleck does a superb job as the troubled Holden. His acting talents combined with Smith's writing/directing talents makes for one hell of a good movie. I loved it from start to finish, and you will too.
