.
Teenager Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) is a troubled young man. He's also a drug dealer -- and proud of it. He freely exchanges drugs with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley) for psychotherapy sessions mostly just to have someone to talk with.
Luke is dating the shrink's step-daughter Stephanie (Olivia Thirlby). Together Luke and the doctor explore their depressions and concerns in the hip-hop NYC of 1994.
Others in the cast include Mary-Kate Olsen as one of Luke's customers, Framke Janssen as the doctor's wife, Method Man as Luke's source, Talia Balsam and David Wohl as Luke's parents; Bob Dishy and Joanna Merlin as Luke's grandparents.
Written and directed by Jonathan Levine.
Run time: 1 hour, 39 minutes
Rated R for pervasive drug use, language and some sexuality.
My personal rating: C
