atomicis Really great, engrossingly entertaining film! I've seen so many movies that didn't hold my interest lately I was beginning to think something was wrong with ME! But "The Wackness" reassured me that it's not me; it's everyone around me that is crazy (to paraphrase one character's sentiment)... Ben Kingsley is superb and shows why he's so respected as an actor - it's sort of mind-blowing to see him in a role like in this flick when one has seen him as himself or as Ghandi, but he totally owns the character. Really great film!

Chris L The insecure teenager is a recurrent theme that has already been developed, more or less successfully, a lot of times. With a hip hop and weed background, The Wackness reunites all of its clichés without managing to convince the viewer. The script is banal on every level and lacks consistency, coherence, order and dynamism to expect to arouse just a bit of interest. The plot struggles rather quickly, so much that finishing the 1h35 is a real ordeal.If there was one thing to save, it would be the excellent soundtrack, because without that, the movie would be a complete flop. Jonathan Levine, of whom it was the first experience as a director and writer, proved however three years later with 50/50 that he has potential.

jimmy-256 I watched this movie because I needed to get my mind off my painful hemorrhoids. Sure enough, I forgot about my roids because I was too busy trying to put my eyeballs back in their sockets after gouging them out with a Big Gulp straw. That's how bad this movie is. I am not kidding. I looked around the theater (after managing to pop my peepers back in) and saw that no less than 64 people were also struggling with their gouged eyeballs. The other 12 had hung themselves with twizzlers. One kid seemed to be enjoying the movie, but he also seemed to be enjoying his booger collection, so maybe the question you must ask yourselves before paying to see this movie is, do you enjoy booger collections? Well, do you?

bignothing-596-412478 I like movies set in the past, and this didn't disappoint. Definitely my second favorite movie that does this, my first being Donnie Darko. I remember this music growing up and it felt like the 90's. Awesome. Loved how Josh Peck was the main character, it really kicks ass to see nickelodeon stars smokin. I wasn't expecting much from what I've seen of Drake and Josh, although I do check out Nickelodeon daily(spongebob), but he was actually believable and perfect for this role. So funny how he paid for therapy, and I loved when the therapist blew into that paper towel tube with the laundry sheet. Good times. Seriously a good watch though, especially if you grew up then and aren't one of those super happy people. lol
