Jackass 3.5

The 'Jackass' franchise is definitely an 'acquired taste.' I dare say many will find the idea of a group of grown men coming up with new and immature ways to humiliate and hurt each other the last thing they want to watch as it's totally infantile. But then there are those of us - for whatever reason - who actually quite like it. Like me.

I've watched all the 'Jackass' movies and enjoyed - in a crude and low-brow way - all of them. Therefore, I was only too happy to rest my brain to the guys' latest offering. And, having seen it, I can say that, although it's nothing that new and most people who have seen one 'Jackass' movie will know what to expect, it does seem to be a grade below the average.

The stunts just didn't seem that over-the-top and interesting. Yes, there were the odd gross-out one here and there which stuck with me, but - ultimately - this is a film of the leftover stunts that didn't make the other films.

You'll get plenty of 'interviews' added to 'pad out' the run-time, but they hardly offer much insight into anything that you may actually be interested in. It's just the cast saying how much things hurt etc.

If you're a mega fan of the franchise then you'll probably enjoy some of what's on show here. However, it's not a vital addition to the collection and you're probably best off waiting for it to come on an online streaming service and watch it for free rather than paying any extra money to see it.

Jackass 3.5 is the superior .5 out of the two that feels more complete than its predecessor thanks to a longer run time and more sketches. There's a better balance between insightful behind the scenes and fun interviews that further reinforce the group's strong chemistry as well as some truly iconic stunts that are just as good as the ones in the actual film. Jeff Tremaine's direction is great and the opening is genuinely one of the strongest and most fun out of the whole franchise. However, like all Jackasses the flaw lies in a few gags that are gross rather than funny.

I watched this to regain that since of nostalgia from my teenage years watching Jackass. These guys are funny and come up with the craziest ideas you can imagine. I would hate to be part of the cast living in fear of being pranked at any moment. I could have done without the nudity but otherwise good movie and very funny.

Just finished watching the movie and i was pretty darn impressed.

After the under par Jackass 2.5, I was a bit apprehensive about watching another movie made from failed and unused footage. It seemed more appropriate to be a bonus DVD extra when buying the movie.

But not in this case, 3.5 was hilarious, it has the guys doing what they do best. I was most surprised to see some of the stunts were funnier in this, than any of the stunts that made the final cut of Jackass 3D.

It has a fantastic moment where they "Jeff Dunham," Johhny Knoxville. it has to be seen, and makes for a epic closure to the film.

Nothing more can really be said, you know what to expect from a Jackass Movie, so grab a beer, sit back and get ready to laugh your knickers off!

This is one that I only saw once when it hit DVD. Jaime and I watched it again just to check it out as something easy to watch. To throw this out, it is another fun one.

Much like 2.5, I love the documentary feel by interviewing cast members as a peak behind the curtain. This is footage that didn't make 3D, so there's that. Still fun though and we both enjoyed our time here. Not as good, but worth a watch.

My Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
