- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Most of the time, Peck is cast adrift in an uncertain world, and Levine too often conflates his lack of purpose with the movie's."
-
"'The Wackness', for all its eccentricities and emotional pain, is really a sweet little film."
-
"For about half its length, Jonathan Levine's film The Wackness resembles a grunge remake of The Graduate, updated for the peculiarly specific setting of 1994 New York City."
-
"The characters are sympathetically drawn and the modest wisdom rings true."
-
"'The Wackness' is both darkly funny and life-affirming, in an offbeat and offhanded way."
-
"'The Wackness' treads this familiar terrain with assurance and distinction."
-
"An unlikely buddy comedy that comes to life whenever Kingsley appears - he doesn't so much steal the show as roll it into a fat blunt and smoke it."
