The Wackness looks good


I've been following the buzz around The Wackness since it got great reviews at Sundance. The cast looks great. Ben Kingsley, Famke Janssen (shouts to Mel), Olivia Thirlby (of Juno fame), and Josh Peck... yes, THAT Josh Peck, the one from Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh.

The premise is that Josh Peck deals pot out of an Italian Ice cart in New York in the mid nineties. He provides his psychiatrist (Kingsley) with weed in exchange for free psychoanalytical sessions. Sounds interesting to say the least. Also, Method Man plays the Jamaican supplier (a la Samson). The soundtrack (which comes out June 24th) looks great, but it should since the movie takes place in New York in '94.

If you're interested, and you want to see the trailer, you can always go to IMDB. I would suggest watching this "red band" trailer (from iwatchstuff.com) that gives you an unedited look at what the movie is actually like.
