I saw The Wackness over the weekend and loved it.

Destined to be a coming of age classic, the story takes place on the streets of Manhattan in 1994.

What does this have to do with the sunglass world? Well, I’ll tell you. In the early 1990s the American classic Ray-Ban was bought by giant Luxottica and changed forever–kinda like the streets of NY under Giuliani.

This movie features Ray-Bans both on Josh Peck and Ben Kingsley, pre-Luxottica Ray-Bans that is.
