Movies that aren't old enough to be classics, but I still took this long to see.

I went to the library over this last weekend and checked out "The Wackness" featuring Nickelodeon's Josh Peck and several other stars you wouldn't expect in a film about drugs, sex and living as a white teen who has serious depressive problems and listens to Notorious BIG.

We'll start at the least obvious and work our way up. The soundtrack, along with the snippets of original score, was really great. It's fun to dig up those old 90's hip hop tunes after you watch this. If you have them.

The acting was great. Ben Kingsley returns to the world of great cinema, but is actually outshined by the subtle greatness of Peck. Peck transforms into the teenage drug dealer in an instant, and you can tell that he is the emerging star of his former duo on children's television. Pretty good work from Famke Janssen and the Olsen twin who isn't out of her skull as well. Great return performance from Juno's Thirlby.

The story is atypical in the world of teen dramas and spans an entire three months in a sort of faux Odyssey of gritty New York. It has love, sex, humor, and everything else. A good if not great film. 4/5.
