Jackass - The Movie (Unrated Special Collector's Edition) Reviews

• Words Cannot Even Describe...

  
  By A2ZLROGIL2V7GV on 2003-04-03
  If you thought the TV show was outrageous, wait 'til you get a load of the movie...

  Yep, the outrageous MTV show now has its very own movie. "Jackass: The Movie" includes all of your favorite misfits as they perform some of the most outrageous, painful, and disgusting stunts ever to be caught on camera. Join Johnny Knoxville and his gang as they do everything possible to make sure that this is the most outrageous and disgusting thing your eyes have ever seen. I will not give away any of the stunts, for what's so great about the movie is being surprised.

  There's no storyline, no plot, and no set-up. It is what it is, and it makes no apologies. That's why I love it so much. I have never cringed so many times in my life! I was laughing non-stop and my eyes were flooded with tears when it was all said and done. Be warned, this is NOT for people who get easily offended or disgusted. This is not for people with weak stomachs. If you don't like anything that's distasteful, then skip this one right now. Don't even attempt it.

  If you hate the show, you will hate the movie. THAT is a fact. Don't even bother. All it will do is make you angry that you wasted your time with it. If you love the show, then you will most likely love the movie.

  The DVD is outstanding, being that it is loaded with so many special features for you to play around with. The best are the 27 additional minutes (separate feature from the movie) that were deemed to outrageous for the theatres. It's like watching a complete Jackass episode uncensored. Other features included are two commentary tracks, "making-of" feature, outtakes, trailer and promo spots, music videos and more! The commentary tracks are hilarious and are worth checking out. (Especially the cast commentary track. They're rarely talking about the movie and it is more like they're just hanging out and drinking!)

  "Jackass: The Movie" is painfully funny and disgustingly outrageous. I'm glad the DVD came out when it did, because this is the perfect time to watch something like this with all that's going on in the news right now. Really helps you get your mind off things. I laughed like crazy and cringed like there was no tomorrow. One thing is for sure; Knoxville and his crew are all going straight to Hell.... and so am I for laughing at it! You have to see it to believe it.
  
  

• Great movie, dumb edition

  
  By A3MOU8K9EX2KME on 2006-09-12
  This movie is one of my absolute favorites! If you liked the show, you'll love the movie. Although, this edition of the DVD kinda' sucks. All Paramount did was take the deleted scenes from the original release and add them into the actual for this cut and of course, throw a teaser trailer for Jackass Number Two on there. If you already own the first edition DVD like most of us, skip this one.

  Jackass: The Movie
  
  
  Jackass: The Movie is made up of all the dumb, mindless pranks you'd expect of a college fraternity without any adult supervision.
  
  The movie including the DVD is not without merit, however. If you have an annoying neighbor with teenage boys this might make an ideal Christmas present. You'd want to give it anonymously, of course.
  
  Sure there are warnings throughout the movie DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME. You and I both know that a teenage boy is going to ignore those and try them anyway. That's where the anonymity comes in handy, Nobody can sue you.
  
  Highly recommended for people with annoying teenage boys as neighbors and for any teenage boy you just don't like very much.

• Jackass is a new low for television

  
  By ATSXSQ57G8ZOL on 2002-08-29
  Jackass is quite possibly the stupidest, most low-brow comedy tv show i hav ever seen. ...i would much rather watch comedies that make you think and use punch lines that dont involve a visit to the emergency room. the simpsons, seinfled and south park. now those are real comedies. johnny knoxville is just some guy who ended up getting a show on mtv. it's not like it's that hard, cuz they dont even play videos anymore. but thats not the point. jackass is stupid...
  
  

• I was too embarrassed to get up and walk out

  
  By on 2002-11-10
  ... so I ended up seeing more of this movie than I should have. I expected to see pranks like the Rent-A-Car demolition derby , or blowing the horn at golfers when they tee off . Or the type of stunts after which you go "what was that guy thinking" , like the one when the guy gets shot in the abdomen . For the record , I think it's stupid as hell , but if that's what they want to do with their body, and since they (obviously) suffer the consequences , I say : more power to them! That's what a jackass does!
  But I wasn't prepared for the close-ups of one of them crapping into his pants in front of the camera, or the guy chewing, and swallowing snow imbibed with his urine . I would have thought it was funny (even if gross) if he was somehow tricked into doing it, but that obviously wasn't the case ... this guy was swallowing urine deliberately , and I was paying to see it! My only excuse is I didn't know it was coming! What sort of a professional is in charge of approving footage like that to be showed to human audiences ? I'm not a prude, and I know there's stuff out there on VHS that's a lot more offensive , but this is mass entertainment (no pun intended)! Is this how low the standards have sunk? I was glad when it was over , and on my way out I looked around to see if anybody saw me come out of the theatre. I was ashamed to be part of this , and I'm disappointed with myself for unwittingly contributing to whatever financial success this movie(?) may attain . Take my advice, DON'T GO ! You won't be missing anything ! It's not half as funny as it is GROSS , REPULSIVE , and DEMEANING .
  
  
• Dumb but not Dumber
  By A1TJPMB7N776WS on 2002-11-06
  "Jackass The Movie" is a sometimes hilarious movie made up of a bunch of stunts performed by a group of pranksters lead by Johnny Knoxville. I had never seen the MTV Show on which this movie is based so I didn't know to what extent these guys would go in order to inflict pain on themselves or others.
  The funniest bits for me were those perpetrated on Bam Margera's mother and father. Dam setting off fireworks in his sleeping parents bedroom makes me laugh out loud as I type this.
  Also, Steve-O's snorting wasabi (japanese horseradish) is a classic.
  "Jackass the Movie" will never win any Oscars but it is at times ridiculously funny. Don't look for any deep philosophical world view here, either. Just enjoy it.
  
  
• Teenagers and Younger Will Love It!
  By AWPODHOB4GFWL on 2003-12-24
  Johnny Knoxville and his gang are nuts and they are "pain-full", painfully funny. Although I rented this and would never consider buying it, there were enough stupid and lame stunts (not to mention dangerous) that kept me amused. Please note that I also am fascinated by car accidents and other similar personal tragedies.

  This group of spoiled rich kids does everything and anything an unbridled teenager gang could want to do and gets away with it (money and a victims sudden fame wins out every time). Who would not think that dangling your butt over a crocodile with a dead chicken hanging out is just nuts? Of course, you're intrigued to see if this idiot gets nailed. Renting a car and demolishing it only to return it to the agency claiming no responsibility is adolescent humor. But then the expected reaction from the owners are humorous. Setting off a barrel full of fireworks in Knoxville's parent's bedroom in the middle of the night is shocking. Not that they become frightened - they just stay in bed, seemingly used to this kind of crap (here goes Johnny again). Dad gets a surprise visit by Johnny and gets beat up on his toilet. Mom seems used to alligators in her kitchen as well. I could do without the one guy in his skivvies dancing around Tokyo to freak people out. That was just dumb. However, the list goes on.

  This is not a good movie. This is not a high budget movie. This is lowbrow entertainment aimed at young kids and teenagers and it sells. It has merit only for the extremes this group will go to for a "laugh". Consider what you like. If forced paper cuts on your nose and between your toes or self-induced vomiting are your thing, you'll have a blast.

  The 'film' Includes one-half hour of extras. It's more of the same. Enjoy, kids.

• the movie was the funniest thing i've seen in my life
  By on 2002-09-01
  i recently saw a special showing of the film, and even if you don't like the show, you must see the movie, you can't even hear your own laughter over everyone else in the audience. when i left, my sides hurt, my face was killing me from smiling. a must see, anyone that doesn't has no personality. must see!!!!
  
  
• Stupid, raunchy,banal,etc., but FUNNY as hell!
  By A3SWLV4JN26UAC on 2002-10-29
  If I were a commercial I'd say, "If you like Jackass the TV show, you'll love Jackass the movie." Jackass is not for the humor impaired. It's also not for anyone that lacks the ability to embrace their immaturity. There's no plot. There's no story. It's just a long (approx.90 min.), great Jackass episode.

  Personally, I think Jackass is/was one of the funniest shows on TV and the movie is no different. I laughed almost continually from the first minute to the last. When I left the theatre, my face and stomach ached from laughing so hard for so long. Jackass is truly a wonderful thing. I'm going to see it again tomorrow. :-)

  If I was a movie critic I don't know what I'd say, but I'm not so who cares?
  
  

• APPROPRIATELY NAMED! TOTAL STUPIDITY BUT, HILARIOUS!
  By A1ER6IYOMM8VCT on 2008-01-15
  I sat down and watched this movie and found myself saying......what a Jackass! The name of this film is so appropriate that I could not stop laughing. It's a one trick pony but, it is extremely funny and disgusting at the same time! I found this DVD for under $5.00 and it was worth every penny with all the extras included. I give it 3 1/2 stars for making money out of being a total Jackass!
  
  
• How can you go wrong with Jackass on the big screen??
  By A3TDESZGVRMEUK on 2002-08-14
  I am so happy that they are finally putting the greatest show, Jackass, on the big screen. Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam, Pontius, Wee-Man, and the other jackasses are going to make one of the funniest movies ever. Wheher its riding a shopping cart into a sidewalk or piercing your [body] together, this movie will make you pee your pants because IT IS SO FUNNY!!!!! If you like Jackass or CKY YOU MUST SEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  
• Repulsive
  By on 2002-10-31
  I watched about 15 minutes of this movie. When one of the actors used the bathroom in his pants and you got to see it, I got up and left. It is the most repulsive movie I have ever seen!!
  
  
• Funny stuff, but sometimes gross
  By A13910TC3NZ6LE on 2003-04-03
  I rented Jackass-The Movie having only seen a few random stunts on MTV. I really was not into Johnny Knoxville's brand of humor, but my son insisted that it was one of the funniest movies he'd ever seen. He was right...sort of. Some of the stunts had me laughing like I hadn't laughed since high school, while others were looked so painful or repulsive that I cringed.

  I liked the rent a car demo derby sketch, the golf cart stunt was hilarious, and the part where the guys shoot bottle rockets out of their rectums was insanely funny. On the other hand, the scene where the guy eats a yellow snow cone made in part from his own urine was something I could have done without.

  As I might have expected, the reviews of this movie run the gamut from completely offended to totally loved. One reviewer who trashed the picture made a reference to Tom Green (who is not in this picture) which makes me believe he hadn't bothered to take the time to watch the movie before panning it. Personally I thought it was for the most part interesting and funny although it does feature some totally repulsive scenes that will offend most viewers in my age group (I'm 46).

  My advice is to watch the movie with an open mind...and a finger poised over the fast forward button on your DVD player just in case.

• Bunny the Lifeguard says "go and see this flick"
  By on 2002-10-05
  I'm sorry but Jackass is the funniest show in television history, and this movie takes the cake as the funniest motion picture. What these guys put themselves through to make people(and themselves) laugh is unbelievable. ... I'm glad they're finally releasing the MTV series on DVD, I've already watched my VHS dubs to death and they're still funny.
  
  
• "... Delight"
  By A1TEPAJGK6EKMX on 2002-10-27
  How shall I put it? These immature ... (and that's giving ... a bad name) have put together a semi-documentary that would have the torturers of the Inquisition look like bleeding hearts. There is nothing entertaining in this movie, unless of course, you enjoy seeing
  otherwise humans act like they have suddenly turned into sado-machochists. It is composed of a number of separate episodes that have
  the members of this group try to out-do themselves by doing incredibly stupid and dangerous stunts that are not only not funny, but if
  done by, say a fraternity group, would have landed them in jail quicker that you could say "Jackass!" Of course, there is the obligatory warning (both at the beginning and the end) telling one and all not to try these stunts at home.... I say the warning was unnecessary
  because anyone who sees this movie and attempts ANY of the stunts deserves to land in jail or the hospital, whichever gets to him first!
  
  
• Nothing funnier than a Jackass
  By AJONXKOT7RMK6 on 2006-09-09
  This movie, or rather collection of ridiculous filmed stunts seriously had me cracking up the entire time. There were a few segments that I didn't find too funny, such as the matchbox car insertion and xray.
  
  The few unfunny moments are forgotten quickly however when moving on to the next stunt. From crashing golf carts, messing with jerks golfing at a country club, waking up Bam's parents with fireworks, renting a car and taking it to a derby, to the bizarre and hilarious ending, this movie is completely and totally an American classic. As Americans REALLY go.
  
  Very hilarious. Don't forget to see Number 2.
  
  
• Quite possibly, the best movie of all time!
  By A3EMFC4JD0SEKX on 2003-02-27
  This is my absolute favorite movie ever made! You definitely need to get your hands on this DVD as soon as possible!

  The movie starts out with the whole JACKASS crew, Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee-Man, Steve-o, Pontius, Danger Ehren coming down a hill in a giant shopping cart. It ends in a giant crash into a wall(when I was in the theater seeing this movie the whole place errupted with lauphter at the crash)A couple more stunts in the movie involved ALLIGATOR TIGHT-ROPING with Steve-O getting chicken stuffed in his jock-strap, and alligators biting it right out! Then there was (my favorite of the movie) the HORN at the golf course! Every time a person tried to take a swing, Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville honked the Horn. The golfers didn't take it too well and chucked their clubs, and even swung a ball or two at the so-called JACKASSES. You can also look forward to seeing the NIGHT PANDAS, ROCKET ROLLERBLADES, EXTREME GOLF CARTS, THE RENTAL CAR, THE SHOTGUN, BOWLING, Dave England taking a dump in a toilete at the store, that was for sale, THE ANAL TOY CAR, and of course...WEE-MAN kicking himself in the head!

  Get your hands on this DVD as soon as you can't, and trust me, you won't regret it, and you'll probably want't to watch it over and over again!

• not just funny, but damn funny
  By on 2003-03-31
  Perhaps this is a sign of the end of Western Civilization, but it is one funny sign! Of course, all the "serious" critics are wringing their hands at such low-culture slapstick, and saying it has no redeeming value. But then again, low-culture slapstick does have redeeming value. IT'S FUNNY! Frankly, when Charlie Chaplin, The Marx Brothers, and the Three Stooges were making their movies, they weren't trying to make high art, they were trying to make some money and make people laugh! And so are the folks at Jackass. Yes, it's dumb, but damn, it's funny. It always makes me laugh out loud, especially because I grew up with guys who would do stupid things like that to themselves. Get over yourselves, folks, just watch it for fun, not for a social message!
  
  
• "better than Citizen Kane"??? i don't think so...
  By ARYH4TGIGMHS9 on 2003-04-12
  I watched the TV show many times... i stopped watching it when I saw one of the Jackassess eating his own vomit (yeah! you readed it well)...

  I can't believe that someone compared this gross movie (where the Jackassess eat their own urine) with Citizen Kane.
  
  

• Cuts extremes of both ways for me.
  By A3EJYJC25OJVKK on 2004-07-07
  Okay, I wasn't too thrilled at the whole concept of the idea of a really dumb show actually being made into a full-length feature film and was literally put off by it until I stumbled upon this on cable recently and the result though for me, cut extreme ways for me being a mix of truly funny, genius stunts and disasters, to average ho-hum stunts to sickeningly stupid and vomit-inducing without being funny.

  Okay so this isn't actually a movie at all. No script, no plot, but just plain hodgepodge of stunts, "Jackass: The Movie" is designed to really offend some, yet really entertain others too. For me, this does both on an enormous scale.

  Starring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, and a bunch of other misfit punks, these guys are not just some drunk delinquents who are finding stunt ideas to entertain, these people are actually trained professional stuntmen who are highly trained and thus, kids out there who watch this should NEVER, EVER try to perform any of the stunts in this film.

  In any case, some of the pranks are absolutely a riot to watch. I find it amazing how someone could actually jump on a mini-trampoline and crash right through a ceiling fan going at high speed and crash onto a small wooden table that collapses under the velocity of him landing on it. I was laughing so incredibly hard at it that I hurt my lungs because it was so funny and also because I have a love for slapstick and this is the best slapstick crash I've ever watched on TV. Other numerous pranks pulled off by these Jackasses are also a riot to watch. The 'ceiling fan' stunt is a favorite but another one that also made me scream with laughter is the bowling alley one in the beginning that made me laugh so hard that I literally hurt my lungs.

  However, some of the antics pulled off are absolutely sickening to watch and two in particular were just extremely gross and enough to make you want to throw up after watching and want to take a bath with lots of cleaning substances........and this is without being funny by any stretch of the imagination. One of them risks spreading harmful bacteria and is very unsanitary.

  However, the last one in this movie combines the sickeningly gross qualities of the worst parts of the movie and the worst of what the entertainment industry has to offer. It's really quite sickeningly stupid and really tasteless in an unentertaining way and really damages a lot of what could have others been good about the latter part of this 'movie'. The ending however that takes place 60 years in the future is really funny and brings this mixed bag of a DVD to a glorious conclusion.

  This isn't a movie at all. It has NO script, no plot, just plain pranks played by professional stuntmen and while some are really stomach turning, most of them are really funny to watch, that is if you can bypass some of the obscene nature of some of them. We all have some 'jackass' in ourselves but this really brings out the 'jackass' in these guys and let me tell you, the title of this 'movie' is perfect. Be mindful though that not only is there some really disgusting content but also highly masochistic behavior and some of the stunts are really dangerous!!

  So take off your thinking cap, put the school/college books on the shelves and share a laugh or two and perhaps have a barf bag with you if you are a bit queasy plus have a DVD remote to bypass the more offensive stunts. It is certainly offensive to a high degree especially to the mature audiences but also has lots of entertaining slapstick stunts. The critics hit the nail on the head by saying that this may very well be 'the Decline of Western Civilization as We Know it'.
  
  

• Try not to laugh. Try as hard as you can.
  By A3JMWIOTUBOJI7 on 2004-07-23
  Film critics everywhere either refused to see this or abhorred it, but we all know most film critics like to touch themselves while watching worthless, boring "art" like L'AVVENTURA or MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. In the scheme of what is inventive and truly enjoyable, I'll take Jackass over Akira Kurosawa or Jean-Luc Godard any day.
  
  Sure, maybe I'm a little immature, but I know I'm not a complete moron. The creativity and sheer audacity of the Jackass performers (Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Chris Pontious, Preston Lacy, etc.) had me sick with laughter for 80 straight minutes, causing me to pause the film numerous times just to catch my breath.
  
  They total a rental car in a demolition derby and return it to the rental agency refusing to pay for the damages. They blow airhorns at a golf course just as the golfers are about to hit the balls. Chris Pontious terrorizes the people of Japan in a g-string and a bow-tie. Steve-O walks a tightrope over an alligator pool with raw chicken stuffed in his pants. Johnny Knoxville gets shot in the abdomen with a riot-squad "less-lethal" beanbag. There are bottle rockets tied to penises, experiments with electronic muscle stimulators on genitals, and some guy even craps his pants.
  
  It is, quite simply, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. And no, I'm not going to justify my enjoyment with some haughty, multi-syllabic, sociological examination in a pathetic attempt to prove myself to other pretentious film critics. Taking a dump in a display toilet at a hardware store is funny. End of story.
  
  
• LOVE this movie!!!
  By A3ADEUV2DSDE08 on 2005-01-07
  If you like Jackass - the Movie, you'll LOVE gay porn! Seriously. If you get off watching an entire movie of young guys naked, shoving stuff up their butt, playing with themselves, defecating, vomiting, urinating, eating their own waste, tying objects to and playing with their genitalia, and otherwise humiliating/degrading themselves its because you are gay - and into wierd fetish sex stuff - or are a closet homo, fighting with your sexual urges and confused about your identity.
  
  Take the scene where the guy urinates on a snow cone, eats it, vomits, eats vomit, other guys kick him and beat him up. Hmmmm. Ha ha. Funny. Really... Apparently this passes for humor these days.
  
  What's really funny is how this movie got by without an X rating. They used to call this stuff gay porn/scat/S&M, etc., and you had to go to the local seedy adult porn shop in the sticky section to find it - now apparently its popular culture and "Ho Ho, Ha Ha, gut-splitting HI-larious entertainment the whole country will love." Just goes to show how low Hollywood will sink to make a buck - and how irrelevant the MPRA is. What's next - snuff films and kiddie porn go mainstream?
  
  A sign of the apocalypse? Gee, you think? Uh, Jesus, any time yer ready - don't think we could get any more debased as a society here....
  
  Anyway, like I said, check this movie out if you enjoy gay porn or latently homoerotic, wierd, masochistic, scat stuff - and make sure to pretend its "funny" so that people don't confuse you for not being "straight."
  
  Really, guys - this is the 21st century. Its time for Johny Knoxville and his army of jergoff, pent-up homos to come out of the closet. Society is a lot more open and accepting than you'd think. The only thing these guys don't do if bukkake eachother - yet, anyway - but if they do, make sure you pretend its "funny."
  
  Being openly gay and having a normal sexual relationship is a lot more healthy than filming your buddies shove hotwheels in their rectum. Jackass the Movie is a case study of what goes terribly, terribly wrong when people with repressed and unhealthy sexual urges and identity, get messed up on drugs and alcohol and lose their inhibitions in front of a camera.
  
  Hey, if watching naked men do strange, sick stuff to themselves is what rocks your boat - that's your bag I guess, but just don't pretend you like it because its "funny." Better yet, get out of the closet.
  
  
  
• Boys Will Be Boys.
  By A2HIWDD2TDXS19 on 2006-09-01
  Juvenile, undeveloped, bone headed, asinine, self loathing, pathetic, transparent, pack mentality closet cases inflicting self torture often involving genetalia and nudity, disguised as male bonding and "har...har...har..." outrageousness, in lieu of actually having gay sex with each other. Boys, stop hurting yourselves and just cross pork swords already! Geeessshhhhh!
  
  
• This is how DVD's should be done!
  By on 2003-02-18
  Excellent DVD! Looks great in widescreen. The extras alone are worth the purchase of this DVD. Plenty of outtakes and deleted scenes. Also contains music videos with the whole Jackass gang. Along the same vein, there are also 2 great books available. the JACKASS book that is a counterpart to the movie and the book THE DISTURBED WRITINGS OF ADAM COCHRAN which is not Jackass related, but similar humor. As for the DVD, an excellent purchase!
  
  
• Crtitic of the movie or its fans?
  By A233AFWBTYKB9D on 2003-03-20
  Okay, so if you don't like Jack Ass style humor, you won't like Jack Ass The Movie. Don't blame the youth of today, or the degradation of entertainment or society. That's missing the point here.

  I can testify to this. I'm a college student, 24 years old, already have a full time job, and I'm going to graduate with honors in June. Intelligence has nothing to do with liking this kind of humor. Larry, Curly, and Moe were once considered renegade comedians because they were what we now call slap stick. How intelligent were there skits? Did they convey some quality truth and meaning? I didn't think so.

  Jack Ass is something to accept at face value. It's impromptu reality comedy at it's finest and possibly most outrageous(although I've seen worse). If you enjoy seeing outrageous people perform outrageous comedic stunts, Jack Ass the movie is for you. Unlike their shows, they actually had a nice budget to play with. Which leads to some incredible scenes. I don't normally watch the show often, but the movie was the funniest two hours of comedy I've ever seen.

  There are some scenes that are pretty gross and can offend some people. If you are squeemish about taboo subjects and scenes or honestly don't find any value in neo-slap stick humor, stay away. They are many scenes involving taboo subjects such as human excrement, urination, massochism, and sadism. If you've seen Jack Ass before, you know what I'm talking about. Difference is, this is uncensored. Clearly, this movie isn't for the timid. I think the fact that Jack Ass The Movie dwelled so much on these scenes is the reason I docked it a star. It really distracts from the funnier impromptu stunts that really shows off their creativity.

  As a side note to the naysayers, don't criticize the people who like this style of comedy. I respect your decision to be a stick in the mud and you should respect other people's appreciation of this nutty humor. I'm sure Jack Ass bothers you the same way all the Reds fans bother me here in Cincinnati since I'm an Indian's fan and originally from Cleveland. I don't call these fans dumb or uncultured. It's a tough neighborhood to be in though isn't it? It's a matter of personal taste, not intelligence. You can write negative reviews of the people who like this movie till you're fingers bleed, it won't change anyone's sense of humor.
  
  

• Lewd and Obscene. In Other Words, Get This DVD!
  By A38U2M9OAEJAXJ on 2003-06-18
  I know what you're thinking. "He gave 4 stars for 'Jackass?' This dude has officially lost his mind." But believe me when I tell you that I had NO interest in seeing this movie until a co-worker of mine INSISTED that I borrow his DVD and watch it. And, believe it or not, it's way funnier than it ever has a right to be. Considering that "Jackass" has no plot or performances, it's not really, in the classic sense, a movie and it shouldn't be reviewed as such. Based on the MTV show of the same name, it's a random collage of gross-out stunts performed by a bunch of dudes, and they push the raunch factor as far as an "R" rating can allow. Some are hilarious, and others just crash the ceiling of good taste. Johnny Knoxville and his cohorts go through a series of wild escapades that are not only extremely dangerous, but also humiliating. Who, in their right mind, would walk on a tightrope above a lake of raging crocodiles and wearing only briefs? Most of us wouldn't, but it's perversely fun to watch these dudes try. Highlights include snorting wasabi at a local sushi bar, applying electro shock pads to various body parts, lighting up huge fireworks indoors at the wee hours of the morning, shopping mall boxing, climbing over literally hundreds of live mousetraps, rollerblading with "rocket skates," and getting a tattoo in a speeding Jeep with Henry Rollins. Let's not forget the discharge of several body fluids which I can't even mention. "Jackass" isn't a movie worth analyzing or dissecting: it's just an exercise in gross-out comedy at its most primitive. Art-house film snobs needn't bother.

  It's true AND it rhymes. Top that. Of course there will be another. Why kill a cash cow that takes almost no money to produce? It's money in the bank. Mooooooooooo. Cha-Ching!
  
  I freely admit I, a college graduate who loves to read and watch foreign movies, thoroughly enjoyed Jackass. Sure, I was dead drunk when I watched it but, still, I died laughing. This movie is Idiocracy, here and now. Watch the Mike Judge movie, Idiocracy, to see what I mean. What is the difference between the television show "Ow, My Balls" featured in Idiocracy and Jackass? None. Also notice the raptness with which "Ow, My Balls" is watched by the movie's character and consider the popularity of the Jackass series. Hmmm.
  
  A bunch of crazy-as-foxes goofs humiliate and torture themselves for your viewing pleasure. A lot of reviews opine that these guys are a bunch of morons. Nonsense. They are wildly creative, impossible to embarrass and daring. We pay good money to sit on our couches in the comfort of our homes and point and laugh. Who are the real morons? Like, duh. Johnny Knoxville is a multi-millionaire actor/writer/producer. What have you or I accomplished recently?
  
  Johnny Knoxville and co. are taking advantage of the fact that suffering sells as long as it's cloaked as wacky stunts & comedy. People like to watch other people be hurt and humiliated. They just do. Who knows why. Maybe because pain and humiliation are inevitable in life and misery loves company. Whatever. All Knoxville and his buddies have done is take an Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey comedy and taken out all the plot and characters and sets and any anything else that might be the slightest bit distracting and served up an entire highlight reel of jokes and stunts. In doing so, they and their audience make an invaluable contribution to the dumbing-down of America. Congratulations all around.
