Apr 15 2008Fly Teaser Trailer to 'The Wackness'
Looking for a new way to show off your premature nostalgia for the early '90s (your neon hightops aren't cutting it), possibly via the art of cinema? Try on this teaser trailer to Jonathan Levine's The Wackness! Here is the enticing summary:
Story, set in 1994, centers on a troubled teenage drug dealer and a drug-addled psychiatrist -- after the former trades pot for therapy sessions, then falls for the doctor's daughter.
Seriously though, it might be worth checking out. The film has been getting a lot of positive buzz at festivals, and features a diverse cast that includes Famke Janssen, half of the classic Nickelodeon duo Josh & Drake (the Drake Josh half), half of the classic rap/Right Guard duo Redman & Method Man (the Method Man half), and two of our greatest fasting icons: Ben Kingsley and Mary-Kate Olsen. And did I mention there are fly girls in it? No, not the bullshit Flygirls of In Living Color; I'm talking real, honest-to-goodness girls who are (or at least were) fly. So watch them be fly, for god's sake, below the cut.

It's actually the Josh half of Drake & Josh. Christ I can't believe I know that.

Oddly enough, I might actually see that. (All for premature nostalgia). The only thing holding me back would be the shame of going to the box office and asking for a ticket to a movie called "The Wackness".
