The Wackness

(Sony Classics)

Starring: Josh Peck, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ben Kingsley

This coming-of-age comedy is set in the mid-’90s, when pagers were still cool and hip-hop was blaring from every stereo. Luke (Peck) is a teen who trades marijuana for sessions with his young-at-heart shrink, Dr. Squires (Kingsley). The self-conscious kid finds an unlikely friend in the doc, and the two soon set out on an unusual trek across New York City.
