From hifi to scifi

The Wackness which I loved and thought it was one of the better movies I've seen this year thus far. Mainly due to the style of awkward humor and the amazing song selection that really sets the setting for this movie. Yet it dawned on me that the time period and music choice wasn't really all that necessary to the main plot of the movie, the setting of 1994 was there to give us a sense of nostalgia to have bits of memories of those days. nothing that really happens that year played an role in the story line, it could of been set in present day and the story would of been the same yet the song selection wouldn't of worked and i think the movie falls back alot on that fact. im not saying this is a bad thing, but i would of almost rather see that the time period was used more as a plot device then just a setting. Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck where fucking amazing. Peck nails down the awkwardness and the trying to act tough, its good seeing him go away from his over the top slapstick style of comedy he was known for on nick to something more serious. Kingsley well its fucking Sir Ben Kingsley and he just does an impecable job, I dont really know where to start, I think I'll add more to this when I watch it again later today
