Wack attack

Out today: writer-director Jonathan Levine's The Wackness, an indie-minded ode to Giuliani-era NYC. The film presents a slick-looking take on the friendship between an Upper East Side shrink (a wild-haired Ben Kingsley) and his teenage pot dealer (nebbish up-and-comer Josh Peck) who partake in pot and women during the dog days of summer in 1994. Supporting turns from Famke Janssen, Mary-Kate Olsen (who hooks up with Kingsley in a phone booth), and Method Man (as a Jamaican weed kingpin) help infuse the nostalgia with some authenticity. It's the kind of movie that'll make you want to listen to The Low End Theory a few times, kinda loud—and that's never a bad thing.
