pr0's movie review: The Wackness - GoFuckYourself.com

I give it a 7.2/10

No wonder it won the "Dramatic Audience" Sundance award. And was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury award.

Every once in a blue moon a real gem comes out of a film festival. This is not just a Drama btw....it has great comedic value

Director Jonathan Levine knocked this one right out of the park....he's got a bright future ahead of him in film. Ben Kingsley turns in a solid performance. And Josh Peck really brought out the "vibe" of the early 90's in NYC.

I highly suggest you rent this dvd....it was great to watch alone & would probably be even better to share with a girlfriend/wife as well

Set against this backdrop, Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) spends his last summer before college selling dope throughout New York City, trading it with his shrink (Ben Kingsley) for therapy, while crushing on his step-daughter (Olivia Thirlby).
