"Wack" to bring the '90s back
It was bound to happen sooner or later. First, Mark Wahlberg
resurfaced—sans CK briefs—from a significant bout of obscurity. Then, the Spice
Girls reunited and went on tour. Even Hillary Clinton came back in a big way by
running for the office her husband once occupied. Slowly but surely, the ‘90s
have officially returned—whether you like it not. As is the case with every
resurgence, there’s a cultural milestone, a ubiquitous plateau signifying its
legitimacy. I believe this landmark to be the recently released Sony Pictures
Classics film “The Wackness.”
I’m willing to bet the pair of vintage Hammer pants hanging in the back of my closet that this film will do for the ‘90s what last year’s “Juno” did for teen pregnancy—create a hysteria surrounding all things era related from music to clothing to obnoxious catchphrases. Believe what you like, but I’d start scouring swap meets for flannel shirts and practicing my Arsenio Hall arm pump if I were you.
