“Jackass: The Movie” is a feature-length version of a popular MTV show. The film features real-life stunts. The best are slapstick, the underwhelming ones get the general public’s reaction and the worst ones are merely toilet humour. “Jackass” will make you laugh but will also make you shake your head in disgust.

Johnny Knoxville and his crew of fellow ‘Jackasses’ perform a series of different stunts. Like I mentioned, the best ones are the slapstick ones such as the golf buggy crash-fest, the mouse trap stunt, the part involving obese men skateboarding and the human bowling ball stunt. Then we get a bunch of ones where the general public’s reaction is the key such as the section with a man dancing in revealing clothes but the reactions are never very good. The worst however are the gross ones including the one where a man sticks a toy car up his rectum.

Knoxville has some personality but the rest of the guys involved don’t. Knoxville and a few of the others engage in physical comedy but some only do the weaker gags and therefore are totally unlikeable in my books. I don’t have any sympathy for the guys doing the stuff because they’re all consenting adults and they seem to enjoy the pain… they’re also talentless and can only find work doing this.

“Jackass: The Movie” has numerous warnings and extra one during the scenes with fireworks, which is odd seen as how there aren’t extra ones for the ones involving cars or animals. I like some of the physical gags but the rest are lousy and most of the filler clips in-between the major stunts are seriously disappointing. It’s a short movie and sadly can’t even get enough decent stuff together to make it work.
