The Wackness
One of the strangest stoner films you'll ever see. Full of Black Humor and starring Josh Peck as a drug dealer 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 and Ashley Olsen in a cameo role.
Tropes used in The Wackness include:
- Author Avatar: Luke
- Celebrity Paradox: The scene that introduces Method Man's character features a song by Biggie Smalls and Method Man.
- Did Not Do Research: An ounce of weed does not cost thousands of dollars. And there is no way you could deal from an icecream cart and not get caught.
- Hippy Teacher: Dr. Jeffery Squires
- There Are No Therapists: Averted...kinda, make that there are no good therapists
- You Need to Get Laid: This is pretty much the only advice lukes therapist gives him
