The Wackness3

The Wackness

The wackness: that which is bad. Not to be confused, of course, with the dopeness, that which is good. Between those two poles you’ll find Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck), the rap-obsessed teenager around whom this comedy drama revolves. It is also the best place to put director Jonathan Levine’s follow-up to his sensual slasher All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. This likeable but slight hymn to his adolescence in ’90s New York seems not so much cut from the same cloth as films like Thumbsucker, Charlie Bartlett and Igby Goes Down as sewn together from their trimmings.
