The Wackness is a coming-of-age story about a hip-hop fanatic/recent high school graduate living in New York City in ‘94. I’ve heard a few people say they didn’t like the movie, but it was–in my book–great because of both the screenwriters’ ability to keep me engaged without significant plot as well as my ability to relate to the main character. White? Check. Just graduated high school? (Sigh) Check. Loves hip-hop? Check. Spends his summers in NYC? Check. Can’t get girls? Uhh…debatable? Even if you can’t peep the movie (it is independent so it’s playing in a limited number of theatres) make sure you check out the soundtrack. It’s fucking dope. As I said before: ‘94, NYC, hip-hop. I’m sure you can guess who’s on it.
