Why watch this? Holden has fallen for Alyssa. One problem: She's a lesbian.

Plot Summary: A comic book artist, Holden, falls for Alyssa, a fellow artist. The problem. She is a lesbian. He tries to snap himself out of it and settle for "friendship", but it's no use. He simply loves her. So, where do you go from that?

Dad's Preview: This heart-felt romance film contains one of the most raw and heartfelt love confessions on screen, Ben Affleck recites how he can no longer hide his love, telling Amy how he really feels. Affleck and Joey Adams are very good together on screen in this twisted-up Rom-com. Jay and Silent Bob even stop in for a cameo.
