This weekend I watched The Wackness. I’ve been wanting to see it since it was in theaters.
It’s 1994 in New York, Luke Shapiro deals drugs in the summer before leaving for college. He strikes up an unlikely friendship with his shrink who gives him sessions in exchange for weed. The music, the acting, everything is great.
Netflix it!

haha, j and i wanted to see this (but at the same time, were ultimately turned off by it when we read “olsen” as one of the cast. we do not have any amount of liking for either of those girls.) but instead we walked around new york all summer saying “fresh and delicious ices!” i guess you had to be there…it was funny, though, i promise!

I actually didn’t like it. I thought the music was great, but I thought the plot was kind of weak.
