It's not who you love. It's how.
Sex is easy. Love is hard.

In 'Chasing Amy', life-long best friends Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) and Banky Edwards (Jason Lee) are enjoying
success as the creators of the cult hit comic book 'Bluntman and Chronic.' When they meet fellow comic book artist
Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams), Holden's desire for the beautiful charmer is immediate. Alyssa, however, has set
her romantic sights elsewhere and yet decides, nevertheless, to pursue a friendship with Holden. This presents
Holden with a dilemma: Feeling the way he does, can he merely be friends with this woman? Banky, who knows Holden
best, doesn't think so.
Produced by View Askew Productions, Chasing Amy is the third installment in Kevin Smith's New Jersey Trilogy -- which began with the Sundance and Cannes Film Festival award winner Clerks, and continued last year with Mallrats, which also featured Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams and Jason Lee. synopsis © View Askew Productions |
As the friendship deepens, so do Holden's affections for Alyssa. And cautiously, yet effortlessly, so do Alyssa's
for him. With their relationship struggling to define itself, Banky grows more and more frustrated at the notion
of losing his best friend to emotional adulthood.
