Winner of the Audience Award: Dramatic at 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Jonathan Levine's The Wackness stars Ben Kingsley, Josh Peck, Mary-Kate Olsen and Famke Janssen, and opens in UK cinemas on 29th August 2008.

Set against the backdrop of the greatest year in hip hop history, THE WACKNESS takes place in a very different time: a time of pagers, not cell phones, a time in which Tupac and Biggie were alive, one in which Kurt Cobain had only recently taken his own life. The film uses this world as a backdrop for a very different story: one with humour, pathos, sex, drugs, and beats.
