Shout-Out (Noun) A shout-out is a greeting or acknowledgment of a person, group, or organization of significance. It is often done as a sign of respect, synonymous with "giving props."

With the opening of The Wackness less than two weeks away. I feel a shout-out to the film's two stars is in order. Many of you probably only know Josh Peck as the fat one in "Drake and Josh," and Olivia Thirlby as Juno's best friend. But if I had my way, these two would dominate the box-office for the next three decades. Combined, they are two of the very best young actors in the business, and they both have an unbelievably vibrant freshness about them. They are both exceptional actors, and the best thing about them is, unless we're offering props, you won't see them on gossip blogs like this one very often.

Go see The Wackness. It opens on the 4th.
