Plot
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.

The New York Times
Smith's knowing humor and unruffled style make a good antidote to gender chaos. Music by David Pirner contributes to the film's loose, inviting mood.

Writer/director Kevin Smith finally finds his voice: genuine tender emotion + d**k and fart jokes x ultra-smart pop-reference laden dialogue. Smith's final product (starring a young Ben Affleck and a pre-My Name is Earl Jason Lee) hits all the right...

This is one of Kevin Smith's best films. Funny and poignant. Ben Affleck seems to be his best in Kevin Smith's movies.
