This is a comedy.. and a drama..figured the drama board needs a boost...
Title: The Wackness
Rating: R
Release Date: July 3rd, 2008
Genre: Comedy, Drama
The Wackenss is probably one of my favorite movies of the summer if not one of my favorites of the year. Its very different and I really enjoyed it. To sum it up The Wackness is sort of a "becoming of age" movie. It takes you through the life of an ordinary kid and shows you how he enters "manhood".
It takes place in a summer of 1994. The actor is played by Josh Peck(Drake and Josh) But he delivers an AMAZING performance in this film. Anyways... The character is a drug dealer. He sells to almost anyone and everyone. His counselor buys freaking weed from him for god sakes. The problem is the kid never really met any friends. Just buyers. Hes sort of lonely and depressed because he looks at everything in life in a different view. Almost like he sees The Wackness of everything? (OMFG IM GOOD)
Without spoiling to much the movie has a few twists and turns but nothing that you cant expect. Its just a great movie. I cant explain why I loved it so much but I am really into those dark comedy drama style movies. The acting was incredible and the story wasnt half bad. I think any fan of good cinema should check this out. It only got a LIMITED release across the US so it would be hard to catch this in theaters. I had to drive 50 mins to see it but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I give The Wackness a 9/10
