Even More Reviews for “The Wackness”

The accolades keep coming and coming!
indieWire
Indie Wire finds “The Wackness” to be youthful and refreshing!
A filmmaker who matters is someone capable of re-invigorating genres with spunk and a playful lack of caution. That’s Jonathan Levine, who wowed the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival audiences with his gory, sly horror film “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane.” His follow up is even better, the high-energy coming-of-age tale “The Wackness,” a fun-loving movie that audiences will find impossible to resist.

Variety
Variety considers Levine’s “second effort reps a considerable leap forward and should have far less trouble getting seen. Marketing toward viewers who came of age in the mid-’90s would help it avoid the classic Sundance hit/arthouse dud scenario; ancillary prospects are bright.”

Coming Soon
Coming Soon thinks this film is even better than Levine’s first!
With his second movie “The Wackness,” director Jonathan Levine looks to be joining the likes of Marcos Siega (”Pretty Persuasion”) and Craig Gillespie (”Lars and the Real Girl”) in the exclusive club of recent directors whose first two movies are released in the same year, with their second effort far surpassing the first. In this case, few people will even believe that Levine’s two movies were even by the same director maybe because unlike the teen slasher “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”, Levine wrote “The Wackness” himself, presumably based on his own experiences living in New York City during the ‘90s.

Mary-Kate Olsen’s Boots Are Made For Stalking Colin Farrell!
It looks like cupid has hit Mary-Kate Olsen hard!
Olsen and Colin Farrell were photographed hanging out together at the premiere party for In Bruges at The Lift in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival Thursday night.
She told E! Online that she went to that party to say hello to Farrell.
Well, I was supposed to interview Farrell last night at his premiere party for Kicking It at Greenhouse at the Top of Main and that never happened thanks to Mary-Kate. I think…
Sources told me Farrell wouldn’t do the interview because he’s so annoyed that reporters keep asking him if he’s dating Olsen since he snapped a photo with her the other night. They insist he’s not, and that he’s not interested. The same can’t be said about MK.
I may not have gotten my interview, but I did get to witness MK on a love mission. Olsen popped up at the U2 party last night specifically “to see Colin”, according to a source.
Personnel escorted Olsen to a table that was two shy of Farrell’s. The only problem…Farrell had left! After Olsen had realized he was long gone, she bolted.
That girl stayed just long enough to take a swig of Red Bull.
Check out this video of Mary-Kate Olsen booking out of the U2 late-night party at Greenhouse at Top of the Main in Sundance Saturday night after she realizes her new lover boy left. Mind you at this point, U2 was rumored to go on at any second. I mean how dare she leave before Bono takes stage, WTF! She was standing right next to me, I witnessed the whole incident firsthand.
It’s nice to know us Boots Girls aren’t the only stalkers out there!
