Routine coming-of-age tale enveloped in the haze of 1994 memories and plenty of marijuana smoke. Rich soundtrack with nicely chosen cuts by Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Craig Mack, KRS-One, the Wu-Tang Clan, Biz Markie, and the Notorious B.I.G.--to name a few.

Trollwood Performing Arts School alum and Fargo product Sean Dillon, a New York City-based actor, has a small but memorable role in “The Wackness.” Dillon graciously and on short notice agreed to chat about his experiences working on the film.

“Mummy 3” re-dresses virtually identical plot devices from its own two predecessors, taking a popular incident or dialogue exchange and expanding it in a new context.
