hyped garbage

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Jackass is actually pretty deep when you look beyond the funny guys breaking bones. Chris Pontius represents the devil, as shown towards the start of the film where he dances around in Hollywood dressed as Satan. This is showing us what he truly is, a devil. He's the reason the guys break themselves, because he has their minds. Ehren however, has figured out the happenings and is depressed because of it. He does not want to participate in the stunts because he knows Pontius is holding onto his brain and he only participates when forced into stunts, or when Pontius properly has control of him, so this movie is not in chronological order and we can see different points in time. We swap between when Pontius has and does not have control of Ehren's brain. You can easily spot the torment Ehren feels when he's around Pontius/when he does stunts before and after he figures out what has happened. To add to this, the songs Pontius will play on his guitar are to keep the boys under his spell. In short, this movie has many layers few people recognize, and i will continue to analyze this film during future viewings

I have actually seen all of the Jackass movies I think...and I actually feel silly writing a review for it because I don't actually know what I'm reviewing. The stunts are creative...? I'll give them that. I personally don't find a lot of humor in doing hurtful pranks...I know they are all willing to do them but I just don't find pleasure in watching. Couple that with nothing but profanity and nudity...I just don't see the appeal. That said, if that's the sort of thing you find funny, it's there for your enjoyment; that's why they make these movies so enjoy I guess. There are a lot of shows that have videos of people doing similar pranks on people of obviously there's an audience for it out there somewhere.

Hi, 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.

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.
