Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Wackness, for all its eccentricities and emotional pain, is really a sweet little film.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
25 Jul 2008
rotten:
On the downside: There is a wackness to The Wackness, a saggy psychic undertow that drags down its lighter and smarter aspects.
– Amy Biancolli,
Houston Chronicle,
25 Jul 2008
rotten:
The Wackness marks a step up in ambition, but it is also self-indulgent and needlessly complicated for what it ultimately delivers: a somber John Hughes picture scored to A Tribe Called Quest and Mary J. Blige.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,

fresh:
That first sight of Ben Kingsley sucking down a bowl will burn into your memory. You may be watching The Wackness but it's hard to forget that this is Gandhi putting Bic to bong in Jonathan Levine's silly, sappy and sympathetic coming-of-age memoir.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Kingsley's shamelessly zingy performance adds welcome pep, and a delicate, achingly sincere summertime idyll on Fire Island offers notice of Levine's evident promise.
