Review of The Wackness (2008)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 28 Aug 2008

Review of The Wackness (2008)

By Sukhdev Sandhu (247) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 28 Aug 2008

Levine's film is often showy, clumsy, over-earnest. But then so are its characters. So is late adolescence…

Review of The Wackness (2008)

By Nick De Semlyen (166) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 28 Aug 2008

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 31 Jul 2008
