The Nineties Slacker Starter Pack was a scruffy hat and a bong, a vast comic-book collection, and a crush on Joey Lauren Adams. The crush was probably the easiest of the four. In Kevin Smith’s queer-ish romcom Chasing Amy, or the Adam Sandler comedy Big Daddy, the actor emanated a sunny yet mercurial dream-girl quality. That choppy haircut. That askew smile. That smokey voice. You absolutely had to know more about her. But what happens when Hollywood wants you to play the girl next door and you want to play the messy weirdo down the street?
