Director: Jonathan Levine Stars: Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby (Full Cast)Studio:The Plot: New York City, 1994: College-bound pot dealer Luke Shapiro (Peck) trades weed for therapy sessions with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Kingsley) while developing a crush on his psychiatrist's step-daughter (Thirlby).
THE BUZZ: Chances are if you came of age in the early 90s, The Wackness is already on your radar, thanks to the buzz Jonathan Levine's second movie has built since its Sundance debut back in January. First there was the report of Ben Kingsley macking on co-star Mary-Kate Olsen (only while cameras rolled), then came the ire-raising purchase by Sony Pictures Classics that preceded the first trailer. (First Showing has the second trailer online.) Personally, I'm primed for a second look at the film, which has been trimmed by about 15 minutes since Sundance; I found it to be warm, honest, highly stylized, and truly concerned with the relationships between its characters. Josh Peck, who will reunite with co-star Olivia Thirbly in Safety Glass later this year (we think), might just become the new It Boy with his sleepy, toned-down performance. And maybe if Wackness strikes, we'll get to see Levine's oft-delayed debut All the Boys Love Mandy Lane this summer.
