Its a great movie for sure, but since it was made in the obviously biased year of 94′, its hard to say it was the quintessential or even the most honest film about the decade; especially for a young’n like myself who spent most of the 90′s playing Game Boy rather than draped in flannel looking for a job.

Now, after a serious dose of hindsight and time enough for some of the cynicism to wear off, we are treated to a new look on the ten great years prior to the millennium with “The Wackness”, the recent winner of this years Audience Award at Sundance. The movie follows a drug dealing teen played by Josh Peck (of Nickolodeon’s Drake and Josh)(Never seen it) who swaps marijuana for therapy from a psychiatrist played by Ben Kingsley (don’t blink or you will miss this knighted actor with plentiful makeup/long cascading hair). Things get complicated, or so I assume, when Peck falls for Famke Jansenn (of Xmen fame), the doctor’s daughter.

Take a look at the following trailer and pay special attention to the cassette tape close-up and the ”The Music Was Dope” in graffittied script, and tell me this film will not have a decent soundtrack dripping with nostalgia. Also, check out this interview at firstshowing.net with first time writer/director Jonathon Levine.
