This is my favourite Kevin Smith movie, mainly as it was the one I felt the most affinity with. I had a boyfriend break up with me due to a past that he couldn’t deal with. (Admittedly it wasn’t anywhere near as colourful as Allysa’s) and this movie came out about 6 months after that happened to me. It actually makes me cry (and laugh) every time I watch it I think Silent Bob’s “Chasing Amy” speech is one of the most touching speeches I have seen in a movie. I found this movie helped me look into my pain, and realise that age and love can alter your life.
