Holden, played by Ben Affleck, and Banky, Jason Lee, are long-term friends and comic book collaborators. Joey Lauren Adams plays Alyssa, another comic book artist, who meets Holden at a comic book convention and develops a friendship with him. She's a lesbian, but Holden falls in love with her anyway, in spite of her preference for women. The plot thickens as Banky, hostile towards Alyssa, finds out about her promiscuous past and torments Holden with the information.

This movie had lots of crude sex talk, with some open, candid discussions about heterosexual and gay sex, which, at times, was creative and light-hearted. These discussions did help reveal our rigidities regarding appropriate and acceptable sexual behavior. However, the constant barrage of invalidations and hostilities towards women was a bit much to take.

From the visually impaired point of view, the first half of this movie was very difficult to follow, with fragmented scenes, abrupt changes and lots of loud, jamming music in the background making it very difficult to identify characters and understand conversation. My sighted assistant needed to give me lots of running descriptions of scenes, and later, informed me of the many visuals that had significance, but were impossible to pass on in the moment.
