What I Watched - Chasing Amy

I had seen Chasing Amy once before, when I first got into the whole Mallrats craze, but it was so long ago that I really didn't remember it any more.  When it showed up on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was worth checking out again.

That may have been a mistake.

I remember Chasing Amy as I did when I first saw it - as an eye-opening trip through a new relationship, sponsored by Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams (who I was sure for years was Renee Zellweger).  Now, honestly, it just seems like a dated '90s flick.

Or maybe not.

Let's give it credit for the following:
1) My boyfriend has a role; and
2) Jay and Silent Bob have roles.

Bottom line: it's definitely a throwback. If you have no nostalgia for (or memory of) the 90's, probably skip it.
