Summary of Chasing Amy

When handsome young comic book creator Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) meets cute young comic book creator Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams), romance seems preordained.

Despite the seriousness of the issues, director Kevin Smith keeps the laughs coming, even as Holden goes through hell and grows up.

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... Read and rate it
