Jackass

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

There is nothing subtle or classy about Jackass.There is one particular target audience it caters for:silly people.And people with a silly sense of humour.Players Club members should probably steer clear of this.But,in appealling to the lowest common denominator.......it works.The sheer spectacle of watching people who quite clearly have some kind of serious common sense problem make utter,well,JACKASSES of themselves is worked to considerably funny effect here.Truly deranged stuff,and all the better for it.***

It's crazy to think I was watching this movie when I was maybe 7 or 8 when it took movies almost a year to come to home video, miss those days.

Nostalgia aside the movie is a compilation of skits of various stunts and maybe a scenario? But most of them are laughably stupid or cringeworthy in a way that is on par for the time period where MTV ruled and these guys were all over the channel.

I doubt any sensible person seeking a great movie with well developed characters will be seeking jackass but this movie is great for laughs with friends and for guys watching this with friends get used to cringing at all the nut checks in the film.

JACKASS is the most brilliant and idiotic show on television. It's the kind of genius idea one gets while they're half-baked. The best characters are "Night Monkey" (Chris Pontius) and "Danger Ehren" (Ehren McGheyey). sure people will imitate the things done on here, especially the c**p done by Bam Margera, Brandon Dicamillio, and Ryan Dunn (pushing shopping carts into curbs, jumping off roofs with umbrellas and into bushes, BMX jousting), but that's their own decision. There's plenty of disclaimers calling you a dumbass if you do this stuff. That doesn't mean you have to obey them though, just don't imitate the stuff that could get you killed (Human Barbecue, Alligatorama, Self-Defense). Being a dumbass can be fun. Being a JACKASS is something holy.

Jackass is the funniest show ever, that's all I can say. Just see Chris Pontius turn himself into Party Boy at an electronics store and you'll die laughing. If you haven't seen this show yet, or don't plan on seeing the movie, then get a nice big set of pliers and remove the plug from your hinea because you don't know how to laugh. 'Nuff said.

Jackass would have to be one of the greatest shows of our time. This is laugh-out-loud stuff because, lets face it, people getting hurt is funny. The other gags (where people dont get hurt) are also amusing. Fun for all the family. Jackass is hard to beat in the comedy/stupidity/vile genre and is only outclassed by the New Zealand show 'Back of the Y' which is basically the same thing only with a (very weak)storyline.

9.5 out of 10.
