This looks like a Garden State-version of KIDS.

I just saw a free screening of this at USC along with a Q&A with producer Joe Neurauter and I have to say I absolutely loved the film. Great acting and a great story and I have to say Kingsley was hilarious.

@A-tone, the Hip Hop Historian: That is not what the film does at all. In fact it’s not about hip hop culture at all.

Will easily pass on this. There’s just nothing about this film that I find interesting.

Seen it already… Great movie.
But these trailers do it no justice what so ever!

Since the soundtrack includes songs from the Wu Tang and Method Man happens to be in the film playing a (just on speculation) Jamaican drug dealer, won’t the space time continuum fold onto itself and blow my brain for thinking how one man can play two such integral parts in the film?

“It’s like having the Beastie Boys appear on stage with Public Enemy at the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors. Blasphemy in the highest order. I will not participate in the conspiracy.”

What.

I just hope it’s nothing like Garden State, of course I hope that about all movies.

I will not be going to see this film. What this film does is overplay a relationship between “Hip Hop” and drugs. There is currently a media campaign, and this film is a part of it, to lay all of society’s ills at the foot of Hip Hop Culture. The Culture is about Peace, Love, Unity and Having Fun, not the glorification of thug, pimp, gangster and prison lifestyle. To show the travails of a drug dealer and his addicted therapist against the backdrop of early ’90s Classic Hip Hop is ludicrous and unseemly. It’s like having the Beastie Boys appear on stage with Public Enemy at the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors. Blasphemy in the highest order. I will not participate in the conspiracy.

Peace.

This movie is so wildly overrated, it’s ridiculous. Yeah it’s funny, but I guarantee the backlash is gonna be brutal if all the blogs keeping hyping The Wackness like they have been. Just a warning…

-peter’s hype + everything i’ve seen & read about this film has got me soooo excited for this film. i’ve been spreading the mad word too, yo…dammit i got no soul.

-anyone looking to get in the spirit of this film (if you have Sirius satellite radio) NEEDS to check out channel 043 ‘Backspin’. they play the exact music this movie uses as a soudtrack/backdrop - all of the best 90’s rap. it’s such a good radio station, dig on it if you can!

Liked the last trailer and enjoyed this one so I’ll probably go see it.

I agree—I just can’t get into this movie from its trailers. However, I’ll still probably check it out once it hits DVD.

People bash the Incredible Hulk but applaud this movie? I need a nap after watching this trailer.

[...] /film turned us onto a new trailer for the indie festival darling The Wackness, which will be released this summer. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, the film had a great amount of positive buzz about it, but seems to be having a problem gathering public interest after the festival ended. People who saw it at Sundance raved, but a few mediocre trailers have failed to engage the public enthusiasm. [...]

It’s completely pointless to argue over a rapper guys… Method Man has about 5 minutes in the entire movie, it’s nothing to worry about. The Wackness is a great film and this trailer (finally) captures the exact spirit of it. I truly hope everyone tries to make an effort to see it!
