Boy meets girl, Boy falls in “love” with girl, Boy or girl messes it up, Boy and Girl reconcile, this is typical of Hollywood romantic-comedies. To sum up why Chasing Amy is so good; it is simply because it ignores the script. Consequently it provides far greater commentary on life and love than most films. Sure if you can’t handle bad language or talk about sex you should avoid it. But without a sugar-coated ending it will be more real/helpful than most.
I found Alyssa terribly frustrating to listen to, but the dialogue was so real when it needed to be, and the film spoke a great deal of truth about our attitudes to relationships, and Love ("real" love, not lust, nor puppy love but enduring love).
