In honor of the late Ryan Dunn, I felt I needed to watch Haggard: The Movie. I watched the sequel to the film made six years after this, Minghags, and really enjoyed it. Seeing this one, it clears up a lot of the confusion I had with Minghags. I wasn't aware this was the predecessor to the film, but seeing it now, really makes me take a liking to Bam Margera's independent style of filmmaking.Before Jackass, Bam Margera took part in a series of videos he called CKY (named after the band). He wound up making several volumes of him and his friends, like Raab Himself, Ryan Dunn, Rake Yohn, etc, goofing around and being themselves. Then he went on to be a member of Jackass and do his own MTV shows like Bam's Unholy Union and Viva La Bam. Haggard: The Movie was the middle of the road coming out in 2003. A year after the first Jackass movie.It's supposedly a true story remade with the characters in the movie are played by Bam's friends. Ry (Dunn) is upset when he finds out his girlfriend Glauren (Rivell) wants time apart. He then realizes that she is hanging out with a heavy-metal punk nicknamed Hellboy (Yohn). To help their friend out, Valo (Margera), Falcone (DiCamillo), and Raab Himself (Raab) all try to vandalize Glauren's house. But Ry is still sinking deeper and deeper into a mental depression.The humor is totally up my alley with lots of rough housing, name calling, and well acted, natural conversations. The movie is not too long or too short. It is perfectly managed. The only downside is it has one montage too many. Many of the montages in the movie are set to skateboarders with rock music by CKY, Gnarkill, and H.I.M. in the background. I have no problem with any of the music played, but there are at least four montages in the film that go on for way too long.Other than that, the film is pretty close to perfect. I was under the assumption that since most of these guys are used to doing dangerous stunts they couldn't really do justice acting in a full length movie. I was way off. They pulled if off perfectly. In no way was I expected Bam and Dunn could both act as well as they did.Between the soundtrack, the filming style, the humor, the acting, and the story, Haggard: The Movie wins in every category. Except the fact that the number of montages can be tedious, and the subplot of an invention doesn't really take off as much, but we see it done with more in the sequel. Haggard: The Movie is not only a great film, but a great way to remember an amazing actor and daredevil.Starring: Ryan Dunn, Jenn Rivell, Bam Margera, Brandon DiCamillo, Chris Raab, Rake Yohn, and Vincent Margera.

I've never written a comment for a movie on IMDb before, but this one is SO bad. It had received so many positive comments here, that i simply HAD to voice my opinion.I think you have to be a hardcore Bam/CKY fan to watch this. Or be really really stoned.Let me spoil the first hour of the movie for you. Girl leaves guy for another guy. Friends makes 2 small attempts to cheer up guy: 1: Smearing Pooh on her garage door 2: having him smash empty bottles against a wallThese 2 plot-related episodes takes a couple of minutes. Mostly everything else is filled with scenes made up of music and one of the following: - Bam skating - Bam walking and looking cool - city traffic on fast forward - Guy moaning over his girlFOR ONE HOUR!Also featured, is a silly side story about a guy trying to make a "reverse microwave oven" to freeze things really fast. This is actually a microwave covered in cotton wool. Sometimes this guy also wears swimming goggles while putting his action figures in sexual positions, pretending they have intercourse.I usually don't mind low budget movies with "lame" humor and bad acting. But this is only funny for 5-7 minutes. Then it gets painfully slow and boring. I have NEVER seen anything so bad. If i HAVE to say something positive, the boom operator did a good job :)

This movie is so good! It features your faves from the CKY crew and is so hilarious it will make you pee your pants. If you liked CKY you'll love this movie. Brandon Dicamillo is a genius. Props to Bam for the skating. I give it 8 out of 10, only because without Brandon it would be a little too serious.Otherwise I'd have given it 10 out of 10. But don't get me wrong, there's tons of funny parts to look forward to, including Don Vito dressed up as Julius Ceasear. As usual with Bam's projects, there's lots of good music featured in the movie.This film is a must see, but I advise you to watch the bonus footage before you watch the movie, because it'll make you laugh at parts that you'd miss if you watched the movie first. Alos, you should watch it with your friends, and share the laughs.

While some of the things in Haggard are dumb and unnecessary, the overall package is good. Haggard follows Ryan Dunn and his friends Valo (Bam Margera) and Falcone (Brandon Dicamillo) trying to win back Glauren (Jenn Rivell), Ryan's ex. The story is followed and developed surprisingly well, it doesn't wonder off and become an episode of Jackass or Viva La Bam, although it does have a side story which doesn't hurt the main story.And, for all the Bam fan boys (And girls) there are multiple sequences of Bam skateboarding, perhaps the weakest aspect of the film. Phil makes 2 surprisingly small appearances, even Don Vito got a bigger (but pointless) roll.If you are hoping to see a comedy and escape Bam's craziness, then stay away from this movie, otherwise, enjoy the time you spend with it, if you can find it. There are some truly funny scenes in this film.
