This movie felt so real. Brought back memories to the early 90s in NYC metro area.

I would rather not have to travel across two states to see this movie. Why isn't it playing anywhere else on the west coast?? I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

One of the best movies I have seen in a while! Thoroughly entertaining with great references to elements of the 1994 period (Biggie, Giuliani, etc). The witty dialogue and accurate ebonics made the movie that much more entertaining. The Wackness also has one of the illest soundtracks I have heard in a while with an eclectic mix of artists, although most are rappers. Definately reccomend seeing this movie!

やばいっす。1994年のウダルように暑いニューヨークの夏を日を思い出させてくれた。日本公開してくんないかな?

This movie was phenomenal!! Went to see a screening in San Diego and LOVED it. Laughed through the whole thing. The acting and dialog was stellar! Plus it brought back so many memories of the 90s...
