Movie Info

Newly discharged from a psychiatric hospital, 19-year-old Neil Lawrence (D.J. Qualls), the son of the governor of New York, enrolls in an ivy-covered prep school to straighten out his life. Things look promising when he meets the lovely 17-year-old T.J. (Rachel Blanchard), but she has hidden problems of her own. When Neil, a closet J.D. Salinger fanatic, is assigned to write a paper about whatever happened to Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of Salinger's coming-of-age classic The Catcher in the Rye, he takes the project too far and sets out on an unauthorized, hazard-filled journey of discovery in New York City -- with T.J. along for the ride.

Critic Reviews for Chasing Holden

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1)

The melodrama of this film is odd considering the novel that inspired it.

If this sounds a lot like one of those angst-ridden teen movies: My Trip To New York With My Dying Girlfriend, that's because it is one of those movies.

Phony from beginning to end...you'd be well advised not to catch the film.

One Guy's Opinion

A direct-to-video adventure in mixed messages and teen angst if ever I've seen one.
