The Wackness

Ben Kingsley and the corky once chubby kid from Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh put on quite a show in this film. Both characters come from completely different spectrums of life yet they have one major thing in common, the need to find an identity for themselves. This common ground between the main characters creates a unique humorous duo that by itself makes the price of admission worth it. But as an added bonus there is more to the film than just the main characters, such as, the brilliant assortment of music from the early nineties, the well presented harsh realities of life, and the look and depiction of New York City in 1994.

If I had one complaint about this film it would be the very stoic personality the Josh Peck character portrays for half the film. It eventually gets better once his character starts to grow but for awhile you wonder if this kid has any personality at all. However, despite that little complaint I highly recommend this movie.
