Review of The Wackness (2008) by Jake P — 17 Jun 2009
The Wackness is both darkly funny and life-affirming, in an offbeat and offhanded way. Against a thumping hip-hop background, writer-director Jonathan Levine and cast capture a teenaged boy's tender, heartbreaking first love with a sweetness and honesty that makes the film unforgettable.
The picture is also an oddball buddy movie about a friendship between a lonely teeenager and a therapist undergoing a mid-life crisis. Both stories are pulled off beautifully and honestly.
