Chasing Amy review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/24/12
Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) and Banky Edwards (Jason Lee) are comic book artists. Holden meets Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams) at a comic-con. Holden meets Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) for lunch and gives advices. First laughable scene was when Alyssa kisses her partner and Banky claps. A few memorable lines: Holden – “It's not who you love, it's how.” Banky – “Variety's the spice of life.” Hooper – “You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!” The only abysmal aspects this reviewer had were the Alyssa and Holden conversations, as if she was whispering when talking and the overlong conversations which slows the film. Chasing Amy had its good parts and the bad; it still showcases the directors touch in comedy drama, which in effect lessens the humor.
