TV: The Movie

i should start by saying I'm not a big fan of Jackass.this though is a poor version of the jackass stunts.

This is made up of a few jackass stunts (mostly skateboard stuff. some of it was quite impressive but not funny) and the odd attempt at a comedy sketch. this truly is an awful film.

i so wanted to like it as well having read what the film was about. i liked the idea of exploring our life since the TV has taken over but i just couldn't.

i wasted about an hour and a half of my life. Please don't make the same mistake i did.

Has a lot of cool scenes. the concept works very well, but has a very special sense of humor

While not as bad as "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" this is still one of the worst movies I've ever seen and the worst movie I've seen for Direct To Video Month. Even the title is too generic. It's meant to be a parody of TV, but it just comes off as a lengthy montage of rejected sketches from anything. This movie is just plain rude and offensive. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything too good from Steve-O, the star of Jackass. The acting in all of this is horrible. There are some animated parts which are stupid and pointless.

They do a parody of Michael Moore. Literally all they do is make fun of how fat he is. What satire. There's way too many topless women in this movie. It's vulgar and stupid. They try to do a parody of "Girls Gone Wild" but it just looks the same as an actual "Girls Gone Wild" video. There's tons of gratuitous swearing and it's all offensive and mean spirited. There's one scene where a guy on a prank show sticks his head in a dirty toilet. Everyone is just so obnoxious and stupid here.

Danny Trejo appears and I realize that he's one of the most prolific actors in history. I guess it only fits he'd be in a movie as terrible as this. It should have been called Direct To Video: The Movie as it would have made as much sense. It's just random stupid thing after random stupid thing making the whole thing horribly incoherent with not a single laugh among them. There's offensive gay jokes and rape jokes. Oh, and also fat jokes and midget jokes. There is absolutely nothing witty or insightful in any of this and this film is pure and utter trash. National Lampoon, when did you go wrong? 1/2 star

If I can describe this movie in just three words, I'd say: "This movie stinks!"

The jokes were not funny, it was blatantly stupid and deeply embarrassing. I waited for about half an hour, hoping that the movie will eventually become better, but it didn't happen. Instead, the movie became worse halfway through the show.

There are many movies making spoofs about movies and commercial, but they did it much better. For example, the Scary Movie. Both Scary Movie and National Lampoon : TV are the same in the sense that both made fun of the movies, but while Scary Movie made me laugh out loud, National Lampoon : TV made me crinch in embarrassment and made me look so stupid.

I can't remember any good moments in the movie except the part about El Apprentise ( a spoof about the Donald Trump's The Apprentice), when the candidates went to the boardroom to face the Columbian drug-lord. Other than the brief moment, everything about this movie in forgettable.

Heed my advise. Find / rent another movie instead.

This movie tries to be funny but fails completely. There are a few moments worth chuckling at, but the rest of the movie is so dull and pathetic that you simply won't be in the mood. The preview is actually a lot better. Don't bother with this movie, you'll just sit there wishing it will hurry up and finish. Borderline racist and blatantly sexist. I feel sorry for the reputable actors who agreed to be in this film as it will surely damage their careers.

Absolutely nothing like Jackass, or cky, so don't be deceived by the fact that some of the Jackass crew feature in it. There are barely any stunts, and the sketches are disjointed and inappropriate. The humour is consistently so lame it actually makes you feel embarrassed. Anybody that says it was a good film, or that the people giving it a bad review "just didn't get it" are absolute morons; the jokes are so obvious, and so old, that it's impossible not to get them, they just aren't funny.

Unquestionably one of the worst movie experiences of my life.
