JOSH PECK-THE WACKNESS

Every now and then, DelBloggolo gives a review of something, just to look legitimate. I hope it works.

The other night, TLW (The Little Woman), #2 Son and yours truly went to the movies to see a friend of the family. His name is Josh Peck. If you don’t know Josh Peck, you have been sleeping with the fishes. http://delbloggolo.blogspot.com/search?q=Josh+Peck

Josh Peck is a young rising star that I believe has reached his pinnacle. Josh has a long line of credits to his name. Mostly TV, he has proven he belongs. The movie: ‘THE WACKNESS’ proves it. Staring opposite and on an equal footing with the great Ben Kingsley (Gandhi). Mr. Kingsley, along with: Olivia Thirlby, Mary-Kate Olsen, Method Man and Famke Janssen, Josh Peck as Luke Shapiro portrays a college bound student after his high school graduation in the summer of 1994 in New York City. Hip Hop and marijuana are central to the very funny story line.

Trading marijuana for therapy with his shrink Dr. Squires (Ben Kingsley), while falling for Dr. Squire’s step-daughter (Olivia Thirlby), this drama/comedy with Josh Peck figures out how to play his role so convincingly that you fully understand a world of “Coming of Age”, and the Hip Hop culture.

To be put in a film with the likes of Ben Kingsley speaks volumes for Mr. Peck’s abilities. He worked so well with the Master that I’m sure not only did he do well, but he took something from Ben Kingsley’s performance and will add it to his own acting technique, for all of us to enjoy for years to come.

See it, you will love it!
