The Wackness is the story of Luke Shapiro, a weed dealer in 1994 who just graduated high school and is lost as to where he’s going to go from there. A psychiatrist would seem like a good place to start for someone like him, except for the fact that his therapist is one of his best clients. I was apprehensive about seeing this film from the first previews just because I saw this new generation Nickelodeon star, and I felt like this kid didn’t have much acting potential in a dramatic role. The actor, Josh Peck, was on some show called Drake and Josh which I knew nothing about besides the fact that new Nickelodeon shows can’t even compare to classics like Pete & Pete. But, Peck ended up surprising me. Along with great acting from Ben Kingsley, he played Ghandi once, and Juno’s Olivia Thirlby, I found myself thoroughly enjoying a coming of age story set when I was just a little tike. If you’re in the Champaign area, check it out at Beverly movie theater if it’s still there.
