Wackness


Don't let the title sway you from seeing this film. It was a wonderful little surprise. It should have been titled something else so that it would draw you into it, but it does make sense once you watch it and why it is named what it is. It is about a pot dealing teeanger who is unhappy because he has no friends, no girlfriend, fighting parents and money problems. Sounds like a movie about all teenagers except for the selling weed part. Ben Kingsley is a nice little edition to this movie. He reminds me of Robin Williams in Philosopher Kings because of the accent and the way Dr. Squire speaks. An unlikely friendship buds between Luke and Squire as Luke gets psychiatric sessions for the price of weed. The movie is set in 1994 with great music. I kept forgetting the time period when I saw the original Nintendo and original gameboy. I'll save you a little magic, and advice you to watch this.
