Chasing Amy, a review by DJ Doena

Chasing Amy



Ben Affleck    ...    Holden McNeil
Jason Lee    ...    Banky Edwards
Joey Lauren Adams    ...    Alyssa Jones
Brian O'Halloran    ...    Jim Hicks - Executive #1
Matt Damon   ...    Shawn Oran - Executive #2
Jason Mewes    ...    Jay
Kevin Smith   ...    Silent Bob

Holden and Banky are comic artists and the inventors of "Bluntman & Chronic" and they are the best friends. At a comic con they meet Alyssa. In the course of time Holden falls in love with her. The "only" problem: Alyssa is a lesbian.

My Opinion:
Joey Lauren Adams has a weird voice but she is plays a very interesting character. This movie is defenitively not the standard boy-meet-girl romance and that is a very good thing.
