Chasing Amy

Some consider Chasing Amy to be part of the Jay and Silent Bob series–some don’t. I can see either opinion fairly well. I sort of feel like watching all the Jay and Silent Bob movies is kind of like a rite of passage for my generation. *shrug* But then again, I’m kind of just an odd person.

So, I’m sure most of you have seen the movie by now, so I’m not going to avoid spoilers. It’s an older movie and not really one that needs to all be a surprise anyway.

I was distracted by Ben Afleck’s hair, including his facial hair, throughout the whole movie. It was just bad–and not excusable for 90’s hair at all.

The premise is really interesting. Ben Afleck falls in love with a lesbian. Turns out she kinda likes him too. Complications ensue!

It was so predictable that Holden (Ben Afleck) got angry when he realized he wasn’t the only guy she’d ever been with. Total guy reaction. She never told him as much, but sure, she never said anything to let him think otherwise. I don’t fault her for that though.

I’m still not sure how I feel about them ‘outing’ Banky…that all confuses me a little bit.

I’m also not sure how any person could ever come up with the solution Holden thought up.

I didn’t like the ending in that, I didn’t really get anything I was looking for out of it, but at the same time, I applaud Kevin Smith for not giving us the total predictable outcome.

So I enjoyed it. I’d let it play in the background if it were on television. And that’s all I really have to say about it!
