Alicia I love this movie so much

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Eric Stevenson I admit to not being a fan of "Jackass" and I have never watched the show. It seems like it got more popular as a series of films than a show. This was apparently made after the show ended. Really? It was pretty influential for a show that just lasted two years. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone because seriously, "Jackass 3-D" was better.I admit I do feel bad for the people they pull the pranks on. It's not done in such good spirits as something like "Borat". Still, in terms of reality shows (which I believe this is) there really are a lot worse things out there. My favorite was the mousetraps. It was fun to see them all fly around. I just wish Wee Man had a bigger role. **1/2

MaximumMadness "Jackass" was a famous and infamous MTV reality/comedy franchise that initially ran for 25 episodes over three seasons between 2000-2002. A sort-of spin-off of popular underground skateboarding magazine "Big Brother", the original series featured a gang of fearless (well... mostly fearless) performers engaging in broad, humorous and often dangerous (and disgusting) pranks, stunts and practical jokes... usually revolving around a painful or humiliating set of circumstances. However, a series of controversial events in which children and teens seriously hurt or even killed themselves trying to recreate stunts from the series and complaints from parents lead to MTV attempting to censor the show and restrict what the cast could do on air, causing some friction. That, coupled with the loss of a few cast members during the third season lead to the decision to end the series.However, a greater gamer was afoot for the entire "Jackass" crew. Because despite the show ending... something bigger was coming. That being a feature-length, Hard-R continuation in the form of "Jackass: The Movie." Released a few months after the series finale, the movie picks up right where it left off, with every major cast-member returning and the stakes raised thanks to the time and budget a feature-film afforded them. Stars Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Preston Lacy, Dave England and Ehren McGhehey were back and better than ever! With far less restrictions thanks to the hard-R rating that would keep kids out of theaters, the entire film is filled to burst with things they certainly couldn't show on TV! And it is hilarious!It's hard to write a review of the film because much like the series, there's no plot or story. Just a collection of short 2-3 minute vignettes and segments revolving around a specific stunt or prank. These range from a hilarious opening in which a rental car is used for a demolition derby to a series of amusing pranks in which cast- member Chris Pontius portrays the character "Party Boy"- who likes to strip and dance in public settings to get a reaction out of baffled onlookers. The stand-outs here are a number of skits where the gang heads to Japan, which paid off two-fold. First, they didn't necessarily need to get waivers from the public so they wouldn't have to blur the faces of the crowds and you could see real public reactions you can't always get in America... and second, it provided a brilliant new setting for the gang! I won't spoil the many Japanese-set segments... but they are pure gold!It's very much a film for the fans of the series. It provides basically everything you could want, and then some. However, I am going to dock a few points for a few particular reasons. Mainly pertaining to some minor problems I have with the structure and the fact that this is also by far the weakest of the three theatrical films. I do think that upon re-watching "Jackass: The Movie", it doesn't quite hold up as much as it ought have. Being their first go-around without having to worry about censors... I think they didn't take it as far as they could have, and there are some minor issues with the editing and pacing. It just doesn't have the same manic flow or level of brilliant revulsion that the two sequels obtained. It's getting there... but it just isn't there quite yet.Still, if you're a fan of the series or even just like the concept, and you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend "Jackass: The Movie." It's not the best of the franchise, but it's a solid installment and a great first stab at a theatrical release. Just be sure to have an iron stomach, because some of the stunts and the pranks I didn't mention above are just... icky. I give it a good 8 out of 10.

Python Hyena Jackass: The Movie (2002): Dir: Jeff Tremaine / Cast: Johnny Knoxville, Steve O, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera: Product of M-T.V. with a group acting out bizarre stunts to the appeal of our mischievous level in younger years. Pure spectacle without plot yet the concept has appeal. Its structure is a series of stunts all separated by a fading screen. We witness urination on a snow cone before it is digested. Other stunts include smash up derby with rental cars, golf cart wars, a boxing fight within a department store. One of the guys has a bowel movement in his pants before finishing in a brand new toilet. This is witness by shocked employees. There is an X-ray that reveals a toy car in someone's anal track. There is tight rope walking above a pit of alligators. And finally there is an electric shock treatment applied to the penis. Director Jeff Tremaine films it like a bad documentary, which works for the humour element. Among the crusade that perform these acts are Johnny Knoxville, Steve O, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Bam Margera, and Chris Pontius who catch our attention despite our urge to resist. They tap into that willing urge to sin like the child wondering if he can obtain the cookie from the cookie jar without getting caught. Pointless wretch aimed at the wrong audience. As if there is actually a right audience for this sort of thing. Score: 7 / 10

butterflywars I watched Jackass: The Movie 10 years ago and I remember LOVING it. I was a 16 year old kid just as immature as the next. Ten years later, I watched it again and I still LOVED it! Either I've never matured or the stuff the Jackasses pull off is just hilarious. I'll go for the latter. This movie is impossible to review without giving away spoilers since it's so completely random and void of a plot. So what I can say is that you'll laugh (either at least chuckle or urinate in your pants), cringe, wonder why they did that stunt, (gag, almost gag, or want to gag) and wonder how the hell these guys had the guts to do what they did.I have a feeling that everyone likes this movie, whether they admit it or not.
