I'm giving it an 8, not because it's a good movie, but because it is one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen in my entire life.Before watching this movie, you've got to ask yourself : Do you enjoy crude, unintelligent, slapstick humor? For example, do you think a man getting run over by a buffalo herd is funny? Does idiots doing crazy **** and getting themselves half killed in the process amuse you? I understand that a lot of people will find this incredibly stupid and unfunny. Those people have no reason to watch this film.Although, the majority will find the sheer craziness of this film hilarious. Yes, I enjoy well thought out, intelligent humor but let's face it, sometimes we all just want to laugh at something completely ridiculous. And that's what Jackass is. Whether you're watching a an midget bar fight or a guy being assaulted by a goat whilst playing a trumpet, this film will keep you laughing throughout the entire 84 minutes.To what I say to you critics : Lay off. This wasn't supposed to a movie with great plot, outstanding acting(No acting is involved, it's all real) with great special effects and suspense. No, this film was supposed to be completely insane and ridiculous. And that it is. And it appeals to the majority of the public who enjoy this humor. In conclusion. This movie lacks plot, effects and is completely insane. And that's what will appeal to majority. Some of you will hate this film but a lot of you will laugh your ass off. Jackass : You've got to love it or hate it!
... View MoreHi, I'm WillyT and welcome to the review of Jackass. If you expect an Oscar winning story than you clearly don't know the point of Jackass. Jackass is a bunch of guys who pull pranks and do stunts for comedy. They do really good and it's really funny. There were points in this movie where I'm like "they did not just do that." Knoxville, Bam, Steve- 0, Danger Ehren, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Wee man, and Preston Lacy are all the members of the Jackass squad and how they still walk I will never know.Everyone knows this is a popular show on MTV and I was a bit worried I would be a little bored with watching it for an hour and a half. By the end I was not bored at all I could have watched another hour. This movie had some really funny scenes. Ryan Dunn puts the toy car up his ass and gets x-rays. The doctors' reaction was hilarious and made the movie just that much better. Steve-O tight roped across a pool of alligators, crazy. They dressed up as old people and caused anarchy. Bam had an electric scooter and rolled down a hill yelling out for help because his brakes failed. People literally were chasing him down the road to help and it was just awesome. Jackass has these moments where you and your friends will never forget and will talk about for a very long time. Some of the stunts made no sense at all like the rockets skates and the super wedgies but they were still funny. It was sort of like it's so stupid it just might work. It worked but for the wrong reason. It didn't work at all but it was still incredibly funny so it worked.My favorite stunt was when Dave England was going to poop in a toilet in a hardware store. This store sold toilets and this one was not hooked up it was being sold in public and he planned on pooping in it and leaving. MTV has to do something with businesses because half of the stunts are totally illegal, but I'll get to that later. On the way to the hardware store Dave England really has to poop and he ends up pooping his pants on the way. That is almost funnier than the actual stunt himself. It smells, its gross, but it's hilarious. Everyone got a laugh out of it, the crew even threw up and they got it on camera. Amazingly later on the same day he goes into the store, poops and then leaves leaving the customers shocked and disgusted. I was laughing so hard I missed the next stunt completely. Jackass the TV show has Bam beating up and torturing his parents. The movie does this to, they stick to their roots. Bam puts firecrackers in Phil's car and bedroom, Bam beats him up while he is on the toilet, Bam even scared his mother with a live alligator in the kitchen. It was classic Jackass and the movie stuck to what it does best and I think fans really appreciated that.Sure I love this movie but it was far from perfect. They do so much stuff that is just illegal I don't even know how they got away with it. The first stunt of the movie had Knoxville renting a car and then demolishing it and refusing to pay for it. MTV obviously did something about it and paid for it but it's just unreal. The original Jackass was stunts any idiot can do but it would just be stupid to do them. Now they are just doing it for TV and it makes it a little less fun. Jackass is definitely funnier, but less fun and unrealistic. It wasn't a huge deal because the whole movie wasn't like that, it was a fair mixture. Another problem is the warning in the beginning. Obviously a warning is necessary but I had a problem with calling them "professionals." These guys are not professionals. A professional does not put a muscle stimulator on his balls. Just call them idiots who are getting paid and that will still get the message across. Overall Jackass does what Jackass does best and that is make people laugh. They didn't sellout, they did what they wanted. Was it perfect? No, but it was awesome. This movie gets 7 out of 10 and the WillyT seal of approval.
... View MoreThis is one of those films where people will either love it or hate it, I love it. It's not a good film to review simply because it really cannot be classified as a cinematic film. It's a social film, social in the sense that you can watch it with a bunch of friends and laugh and forget about the world for a few hours to just laugh at sheer stupidity.Jackass the Movie is sheer stupidity but it's not a bad film. It's always nice seeing a bunch of close friends laugh with each other despite risking their lives in the most ludicrous ways whilst doing so. I can't imagine many people over the age of 40 liking this film because it can be extremely vulgar in some parts and quite gruesome in others. For younger people it's seeing people do things that you wouldn't dare do plus some things you've always wanted to do. There are some genuine laugh-out-loud moments in this film which is why I love it so much. The layout of the film is very simple but very effective, the music used can even add extra humour to some parts which shows that despite the content of this film being silly, these guys do know a thing or two about film. I would recommend this film if you're not wanting cinematic awe, if you're just wanting a laugh, plain and simple. Do not watch this film if you do not have a strong stomach or do not approve of unnecessary vulgarity.
... View MoreA crazier and uncensored continuation of the stunts and pranks by the various characters of the MTV television series Jackass, 'Jackass: The Movie' is A Stunt Show! 'Jackass: The Movie' is 85 minutes long, and this reality film, offers some truly risky stunts, some nudity and embarrassing moments. Johnny Knoxville leads the bandwagon and also does some stunts sportingly.There is a particular gag, named as Butt X-Ray, where Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of this hit-flick, 'inserts a toy car wrapped in a condom into rectum and getting X-rays of the car inside his anus'! Do I need to say anything more? This flick is dangerous, funny & completely absurd!
