    Josh Peck delivers a stereotype-busting performance in The Wackness. He shows himself to be an actor versus a child star. Ben Kingsley is awesome as usual. Expand

    Not my kind of movie, but after seeing that Josh kid in his Nickolodean show, I was rather surprised at his ability to act. Guess can't judge without really seeing them try. OK movie. Expand

    Vulgar, crude, dark, not funny and unredeeming; overacted, not funny. Did I say not funny? One dimensional characters stuck in a pointless and bad movie. Women are treated stereotypically and poorly. But, the popcorn was good. Collapse
