The Wackness > All The Real Girls
This might get me into trouble with the film elite, but I found this film so much more real and absorbing than David Gordon Green’s “All The Real Girls.” They both deal with young men coming of age thanks to first love, but this film has such superior performances and writing. Expertly directed and stacked with some of the best hip hop of the nineties, it’s a film that is hilarious, sad and moving, populated with great characters you’ll enjoy spending a couple of hours with.

I really wish a film like this had found me in my teenage years, because it’s so refreshing and honest. It’s nice to watch a movie that celebrates the time honored art of owning and embracing the pain that makes you who you are.

People whine and bitch about the glut of hollow Hollywood formula flooding the marketplace, but a great little film like The Wackness with a strong voice is not getting the support it deserves.

The entire theater loved it, as did my friends I brought along who knew nothing about it.

Do yourself a favor and go see The Wackness. You won’t be disappointed.

Not a Bad Film, But Probably an Acquired Taste
Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) is a drug dealer who exchanges marijuana with his therapist (Ben Kingsley) for sessions. Life is simple but good, until two conflicts emerge: the family home may be foreclosed on, and Luke is falling for the therapist’s step-daughter. Are you ready for some young adult drama?

The film’s title, and the outlook of the film in general, is explained by character Stephanie: “Know what your problem is, Shapiro? It’s that you just have this really shitty way of looking at things, ya know? I don’t have that problem. I just look at the dopeness. But you, it’s like you just look at the wackness, ya know?” But for me, the film didn’t leave much room for anything to be seen besides the wackness.

I liked Mary-Kate Olsen, essentially playing herself. Kingsley was an enjoyable character. And having gone through heartbreak, I could identify to a point with Luke. But overall, it didn’t really hit home for me the way it apparently did for the Sundance crowd.

Or the critics, as it turns out. Roger Ebert gave the movie 3 out of 4 stars and a positive review escaped the fingertips of Peter Travers, collecting 2.5 out of 4 stars. Ben Kingsley’s performance earned him a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actor. All three of these seem misplaced — this is not a three star movie, and if anyone deserves blame, it is not Kingsley.

Feel free to watch this. You may like it more than I did. I would give it a second chance, because I want to believe there is more going on than what I saw. But then, when your film is called “The Wackness”, maybe I shouldn’t be expecting so much.
