 The Wackness
comment
One of the strangest coming of age films you'll ever see. Directed by Jonathan Levine, set in New York in 1994, full of Black Humor and starring Josh Peck as drug dealer Luke Shapiro, who trades weed for therapy with his Hippy Teacher. The usual stoner plot of getting rich quick to stop something bad from happening ensues, because his parents can't pay the mortgage. With his parents' divorce hanging constantly over Luke's head he has somewhat of a disconnected Iron Woobie thing going on. He also masturbates 5 times a day. Also has Mary Kate Olsen in a cameo role.

Unexpected Virgin

comment
Unexpected Virgin: Stephanie is surprised to learn that Luke's a virgin (though he attempts to deny it at first), presumably as he's her age and male (but doesn't hold it against him).

Logo Joke: The film opens up with the Sony Pictures Classics logo as normal, before the word 'classics' getting painted over in blue, and gets tagged with the word "classics" in a graffiti style.

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: When Luke tries to have sex with Stephanie at first he has trouble performing and when he does manage to perform he ends up climaxing almost immediately, which she's incredulous at.

Really Gets Around: Stephanie claims she has had sex with over a hundred guys besides Luke. They get sexually involved very quickly (at her instigation) and she also later slept with a friend of his.
