Steve-O: Gnarly

Gnarly is an unusual retrospective of someones career.

Steve O and I'm guessing his mostly unemployeed friends/hangers on, deliver a funny (not always) and interesting (not always) back story on some of the explosive (pun intended) events that comprise Steve's career.

Its a tight show so, it calls it quits before it becomes tiresome and repetitive. Which was really smart. It may also have factored in the short attention span of the people who would be choosing to watch this.

Steve is pretty entertaining and can tell a good story. The film suffers when he tries to drag his friends back into the limelight to give them a shoutout :)

I think it's great to see Steve come through all the drugs and hard times and be doing some awesome positive y things with his life. His podcasts and animal rights stuff are great and I love all his new content but I can see how it doesn't appeal to many.

I love stevo, but this was so underwhelming. I'd actually looked forward to watching this for a few days and was thinking it's gonna be sick. He basically did 4 stunts the whole thing and 2 of them he had already done before in the past and the rest of it was him telling stories he's told before and showing clips of old stunts he did that you can mostly just find on YouTube for free. I was waiting for something to happen the entire thing and then it ended before I knew it. I was like, was that actually it? I'd researched afterwards to make sure I didn't watch some kind of behind the scenes or something but no, it was the actual movie I'd been hyped about for ages. Really disappointing, please don't spend your money on this

Steve-o I know you're reading this. I can't believe you ate that thing dude.

If you've read Steve-O's book, watched his other videos or followed him on social media for more than a week, you've already seen 95% of Gnarly. The totally new content amounts to about 5 minutes of footage. He brings a few of his mates out, but they generally just come on stage for a hug then disappear. It's not really comedy, either - it's just Steve-O telling stories. He peppers it with little gags, but it's more spoken word than standup.

Not really worth the $10 USD to stream it. You're better off tracking down a copy of Jackass, Wildboyz, or the absolutely all-time masterpiece CAREER ENDER.
