The Wackness

This 2008 film was recommended to me by "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" TV show/film star and friend Cathy Jones - thanks Cathy! - and I finally got around to watching it yesterday. It's rare that I like and am amused by American comedies but this one was truly funny as well as being very sweet. The main character Luke, a teenage marijuana dealer consumed by youthful angst, is wonderfully played by Josh Peck, someone I'm pretty sure I'd never seen in anything before. As well, an almost unrecognizable bearded and long-haired Ben Kingsley as a marijuana-smoking New York psychiatrist as well as Luke's client/therapist is hilarious. For a really enjoyable time, rent this DVD.
