The Wackness - Josh Peck (awkward with the girls)

It's the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against "crimes" like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.




Two people, however, are missing out on the excitement. Luke (Josh Peck) is a socially uncomfortable teenage pot dealer with no friends, issues with his parents, and a whopping lack of confidence with girls. He trades weed for sessions with his therapist, Dr. Squires (Sir Ben Kingsley), whose much-younger wife (Famke Janssen) is slipping away from him. Squires, a drug-addled shrink with a hairline retreating to the back of his neck and a state of mind slouching back to adolescence, is an unlikely role model—but the two of them forge a friendship based on a mutual need: neither one is getting laid.




Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, "The Wackness" captures the spell of 1994--a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, "The Wackness" is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity.

Anyone ever notice how similar Josh Peck and David Henrie look and act on TV? They can be very similar sometimes.

oh for sure and thats what the 80's said before their time was forgotten.. and the 70's.. and the 60's and im sure the new millenniums generation will say the same for themselves as well

loved this movie, and i felt like the role really suited him, even if it wasnt something goofy.

@ithinkimgonnaskeet11 The thing is, maybe it was like that for us 90's kids. But for everyone else, it happened to them as well after their teens. Maybe it happens to every generation?
