I just watched this film last night for the second time. The last time I saw it was when it first came out on dvd, yeah about ten years ago. It's hard to believe it's been out that long.
The more I watched this film, the more I realized how much of an underrated gem this is. It's a pioneer story for film and though some of it's dialogue may seem childish, don't be fooled. This is a very witty and cool script. Some very memorable lines between characters.
The two main characters Holden and Banky were taken from Catcher In The Rye for those who may not have known.
Another thing great about this movie is the ending. It's not exactly a happy ending, but it doesn't exactly have a sad ending either. This may be Kevin Smith's best film.

I'll have to watch it again, I remember not liking it that much. But I was watching it with a really big group of people, so wasn't really concentrating on it.

Yeah there is a lot of dialogue so it's probably better limiting the people you watch it with. Don't get me wrong some parts are laugh out loud, but when there is multiple people still laughing or talking you don't here what comes next. You know how it is.

Kevin Smith's best written. Sometimes it's my favorite of his, sometimes it's not. Makes me cry every time, though.
"Maybe I'm just hurt that you'd want to share me. Cause I'd never want to share you."
"I love you. I always will. Know that. But I'm not your ???ing whore."
and
Holden: They fuckin' used you!
Alyssa: No! I used them! You don't think I would've let it happen if I hadn't've wanted to? Do you? I was an experimental girl for Christ sake! Maybe you knew early on that your track was from point A to B, but unlike you I was not given a fucking map at birth, so I tried it all! That is until we, that's you and I, got together and suddenly I was sated!
and especially this...
"I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the-the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is-is-is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't-I can't look into your eyes without feeling that-that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, 'cause I've never felt this way before, and I-I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know, I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there's a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. And all I ask, please, is that you just - you just not dismiss that, and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this ???ing planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I am forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of."
One of the greatest movies ever.

Most of 'em would rather expand their wings, and hover over greater things.
