The Wackness (2008)

We saw this one day last summer when we were mostly caught up and we didn't expect much from it. But it was really good, starring Ben Kingsley (obviously Oscar winner for Gandhi (1982), and House of Sand and Fog (2003), Sexy Beast (2000), and HBO's Mrs. Harris (2005), among his best work) as a pot-smoking psychiatrist and Josh Peck (of Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh) as the teenage dealer he befriends. When Amy told me that the Nickelodeon actor had been chubby, it didn't surprise me, because the kid in this movie, who is slim, had the awkwardness of a fat kid about him, which served him well in the role (even without the roll). He resembles Rob Morrow (TV's Northern Exposure and Numb3rs) so much they should be cast as relatives. Also starring Olivia Thirlby (the friend in Juno (2007)) who has 8 releases (!) scheduled before the end of 2009, if imdb is to be believed.
