The Wackness

I've heard so many great things about this movie - can't wait to see it! Goooooo 90's!

PS - if anyone is into rap - it's got a great soundtrack....
 
I've heard of this movie!! It was actually at the Edinburgh International Film Festival back in June this year, and I'm pissed because I missed seeing it :pout: But it's cool, because it's getting a general release here on 29th August, so yay! I can't wait to watch it, it sounds awesome, and from what I've heard from people who've already seen it, it was a great watch :nod:

I am starting to really like Josh Peck now. I want to tell you that he shows his butt in the movie. hehe
 
i really want to see this.....but its not playing near me. i love josh peck...he is hysterical!!!
 
I saw the movie last night! It was great! I cannot wait until it comes out on dvd :D
 
Thanks for posting the trailer, this movie looks good! But I think I'll wait for it to come out on DVD to watch it.
 
I saw it in a screening and it was pretty good. The characters are pretty entertaining and likable and there are some moments where i just sat there and laughed for like 5 minutes straight ... and in the end .. it was a great coming of age story... Joshua Peck's a little cute as well
 
Thank you so much for making this thread!!! :hug: This movie looks awesome. I can't wait to see it :)
 
Hey people! I was wondering if any of you have heard of this upcoming movie called "the wackness" Josh Peck,Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby,Famke Jannesson, and Method Man star in it.
Summary
Its the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against crimes like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.

The Wackness centers upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck)a teenage pot dealer who forms a friendship with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley), a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression.

Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, The Wackness captures the spell of 1994--a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, The Wackness is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity.
