TV: The Movie

I enjoy National Lampoon's stuff, and I love all the Jackass movies and TV shows and all that, but this movie was absolute garbage. It was the worst put together and least funny movie I have ever seen and I actually feel insulted that this was made a mainstream movie. I didn't pay for this movie, but it was so bad it makes me want to try and get my money back. The only reason I gave this movie a 1 is because you cannot give zeros. This is by far the worst movie-going experience I have ever had and am extremely disappointed in everyone who played any part in the making of this junk. I drove way out of my way to see this expecting something stupidly fun, but instead I got something stupidly awful. I would say this is the worst film I have ever seen, but to call this a film would be a gross overstatment, all this can be described as is garbage.

It's a shame that this is the best the jackass guys could come up with. You gotta figure if Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera aren't in it, it's not worth seeing. They really make the shows and movies fun and worth watching. Of course it's a National Lampoon movie so it's not that great to begin with. I got bored about 10 minutes in waiting for it to be funny and I'm sorry I wasted my time on this pathetic excuse for a movie. I didn't laugh once during the entire thing. It was horrible some of the violence and cruelty it had in it. And they wonder what's wrong with people these days. They are spending time watching movies like this. Maybe next time they will think before making garbage such as this.

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

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.

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.
