Jackass The Movie
Plot
A feature-length version of the hit MTV show in which a group of extreme sports-loving funsters expose themselves to dangerous and deranged physical stunts. Review
Society’s death knell? Performance art taken to its most logical, postmodern conclusion? Or a bunch of fearless stoners arsing (sometimes literally) around and getting paid for it? Whatever your opinion of Jackass, the big screen expansion — it’s not really a movie, by any strict, nor loose, definition of the word — practically demands your attention.
There’s no cinematic merit here, but there’s a certain surreal invention behind some of the more outlandish skits — all hail he who conceived the Bungee Wedgee! — and once you pluck up the courage to peer through your fingers, this is painful and painfully funny.
And with an interesting anti-authoritarian streak a mile wide (lead Jackass Knoxville takes tremendous delight in pissing off golfers with a well-timed klaxon), this is pure punk rock cinema.
Verdict
By any standard criteria for movie criticism, this is nudging no stars. But especially — and perhaps, purely — if you’re a fan of the show, it is outrageously obscene and unflinchingly funny. The rest of you can stick a rocket in your ass.

| | Absolutely hilarious film! I have watched it so many times and I still cry with laughter, it's a great step up from the TV shows! All the guys are hilarious singularly, but together it's side-splittingly funny! Great film ... More | | | Posted by Charlotteknowsfilms at 16:57, 24 June 2011 | Report This Post | |
| | | Very Very Funny. | | Jackass is a very, very funny film with extremly dangerous stunts and jaw-dropping moments that will make you gasp, throw up or turn away in shock. Those men are brave, stupid and surprising that none of them got into trouble or have injures to pull out of this. While a good few of people would find this offensive and sickening, a pure waste of time to watch there are others that do find Jackass painfully funny and enjoyable. ...

| | | | This was good, not great but good. In most places it was just silly and not laughable, in others it was just sick. You can laugh at about 5-7 pieces but the rest was overrated, the grannys on the chair things were hillarious and a few others. But this wasnt as good or as funny as the secound, despite i had seen that one first. ... More | | | Posted by Big Alex at 10:11, 03 August 2007 | Report This Post | |

| | | Jackass | | Though i laughed at some places, i think i am a jackass for watching it. Its not even better than the show. An absoloute waste of time. Paramount should be ashamed of themselves. Each member of the Jackass crew needs to be shot, in public. ... More | | | Posted by solid snake at 19:40, 30 November 2006 | Report This Post | |
