Rushmore02/18/2009

right, thats it, i gotta watch The Wackness and fast....

DJ Cmoney02/18/2009

For sure man, it was a really great coming-of-age story. Not many people have heard of it, let alone watched it. Be sure to let me know what you think when you do watch it.

Rushmore02/19/2009

yeah i got the impression that it was below the radar of most. when i saw the trailer i was like "oh that looks interesting" expected my friends to knoa about it and none of them did. I also think Josh Peck is quite a good actor, got a lot more to offer than just a kids tv star. His performance in mean creek proved that.

DJ Cmoney02/19/2009

I think Josh Peck is great as well. He turns in another good performance here to prove Mean Creek wasn't just a fluke. All the acting in this is great, even Method Man and Mary Kate Olsen in their little cameo roles.

Rushmore03/08/2009

Seen Wackness now, LOVED it. Josh was brilliant as was olivia and Ben Kingsley. My favourite part was the bille jean moment which i thought was great, brilliant way of making the feeling of a successful (well at least in his mind) first date into visuals.
