Re: The Wackness (2008)

Good? Was planning to catch this at the filmfest but passed. You must've liked it enough to sample it for your mix!

Re: The Wackness (2008)

Ya how is this? I have seen the previews, have wanted to check it out, and I freaking love Ben Kingsley, he has been too undercover brother lately, amazing actor. Also let me know how Famke Janssen looks too, she is pretty average. ;)

Re: The Wackness (2008)

Think I'll catch it this weekend, hitting the main screens.

Re: The Wackness (2008)

Sweet movie, great soundtrack.

Re: The Wackness (2008)

it was pretty good, although the soundtrack was bangin, sometimes it seemed like it was one of the only redeeming qualities...the story was meh

Re: The Wackness (2008)

Yeah the soundtrack definitely outshone the movie, and that was purely for nostalgic reasons. The movie ... I get the whole 'growing up over summer' theme, but there wasn't enough oomph to empathise for the protagonist. The best scene was probably when the kid and Kingsley went out drinking, Kingsley was getting it on, and their dialog on the street before they tagged the wall and got thrown into jail.

I think the movie was trying to do too many things. It looked like it could've done something with the family dramas, or it could've focused on the dope dealing, they could've made the whole film about the kid and Kingsley pushing that cart through the city and all the weird interesting characters that buy dope from them. And then there was the love story ... felt like three potential movies there.

Re: The Wackness (2008)

Good film..I am pretty sure I watched it a while back like 4 months ago but I was so high I couldn't remember shit...saw it again last night and I remembered "euphoria!!!" and the part wen he talks on the phone and tells her he loves her... Yeah the soundtrack is awesome.
