Chasing Amy

A surprisingly mature and frank look at male insecurity in the face of a sexually experienced woman. Ben Affleck, before he was shit, is a comic book writer who learns that he is not the only man to have slept with his 'lesbian' girlfriend. He incredibly thinks that having a threesome with her and his best friend will repair everything. Answers the age old question: who would win in a race - a man-friendly lesbian, a man-hating dyke, Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.
