WHAT'S WACKY ABOUT THAT?

Again the protean champ BEN KINGSLEY has done it again. Perfect character choices. What could be more wacky than for both the shrink and client to end up together in the same jail? What could be more wacky than a 70-year old KINGSLEY and a 24-year old OLSEN making out in a phone booth? What could be more wacky than a highly professional DR SQUIRES (KINGSLEY) helping SHAPIRO (JOSH PIECK) sell dope in broad daylight? Better yet, what could be more wacky than the patient eventually becoming shrink to counsel the wacky people in his life? Hilarious and contemplative. Good movie.

Nice character piece for Peck and Kingsley

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I'm glad I finally saw it. Kingsley and Peck both do a great job and the characters are pretty interesting and fairly well developed.

I think the movie did the period well (it was set in the summer of 1994) and dealt with the whole teen finding himself/teen angst without being too hokie.

Not really much more to say here. I really liked the two main characters and it was a character piece.
