At this year's Sundance Film Festival, The Wackness won both the Audience Award and the Empire's Damon Wise Really Quite Liked It Award. So you know it must be good. IGN has a red band trailer up for the movie, which you can watch here. Fear ye not, prudish ones, there's no nudies or blood, just Sir Ben Kingsley enjoying a large bong.

Written and directed by Jonathan Levine, The Wackness tells the story of Luke Shapiro (played by Josh Peck of children's sitcom Drake and Josh, but don't let that put you off). Luke is a marijuana dealer in New York at just the time newly elected mayor Rudolph Giuliani is looking to clean up the city. He does a deal with a psychiatrist (Kingsley), whereby Luke swaps weed for therapy and comedic lessons ensue. The film also stars Famke Janssen, Mary-Kate Olsen and next-big-thing Olivia Thurlby.
