Tetrady not as good as all the hype

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

dunmore_ego Okay, at this stage, someone really needs to stop me beating the crap out of Johnny Knoxville for this lame excuse of a polished turd he calls a "movie." Trouble is, he'd enjoy it.Knoxville (the "brains" behind JACKASS) and director Jeff Tremaine (JACKASS: THE MOVIE, JACKASS NUMBER TWO – what a powerful resumé to take to your grave!) pinch off the outtakes from JACKASS NUMBER TWO, add a few boring interviews (like we really need to know how scared Preston was, dressed as a gorilla on top of a porta-potty) and slap together a 64-minute insult to humanity and call it a "movie." I'd remark, "Well, we see why they're outtakes," but seriously, I can't tell the difference. What professorial authority discerned that these particular infantile skits were not mean-spirited, imbecilic and pointless enough to be included in the theatrical vision of NUMBER TWO? What constitutes "watchable" crap from just plain crap?During one of the gags perpetrated by Knoxville and his sadomashochists and roadkill-to-be compatriots, comedian Jeff Ross tags along. Not that Ross himself is one of the foremost comedians of our time, but at least he tells it like it is to Knoxville's face; he couches his critique in humor, of course, but its bite is not lost upon Knoxville, who fake-laughs through it all.Ross: "You guys shoot a movie like a pickup basketball game!" Knoxville: "In the end we got the shots. We can cut it together." Ross: "Yeah, maybe cut it together for some DVD extras!" At that point, Knoxville breaks up in laughter so fake that we know Ross's stinger has actually hurt him far more than any bull goring his thigh. And even the cast know it, as one of them adds, "Ouch!" The previous JACKASS movies actually contained some guilty pleasures, but this moronic assfest is very short on laughs. Some of the lowbrow gags include drinking beer sploshing from the fingernails of an Indian man with six-foot-long nasty growths only nominally considered fingernails; anal-bead kite-flying, lying on a bed of nails with cobras on chest and balls. And here's a real nugget of intelligence: shooting firework rockets in Bam Margera's parent's home, and Bam's mom chastising them like the imbecilic juveniles they are for burning the carpet. Movie-making just doesn't get more compelling!

wakey30 First off, let me say that I'm a huge Jackass fan. I have been since the first episode aired on MTV in 2000. I remember seeing both Jackass movies in the theaters and loved them both. They were hysterical. So, when I heard there was a web-only release of a new Jackass film I was very, very excited.Well I just finished watching the film and, I must say, I was quite disappointed. When watching you must keep in mind that what you are seeing were scenes that wound up on the cutting-room floor from the second film. The stunts are kind of boring. The cast lacks their usual enthusiasm. And it looks like age, money, and fame have had their effects on the entire crew.When Jackass first started it was a bunch of guys who no one knew and and had no money. Just doing stunts for the fun of it. Now you watch and it seems like they're washed-up, old, and just out to make a few more bucks.I'm optimistic that the newly announced Jackass 3 will get back to the roots of the original show. But, as for Jackass 2.5, I was thoroughly disappointed.

leonardshelby17-1 I LOVE the Jackass films. Part 1 and 2 are some of the funniest times I've spent in the theater. When word got out from Bam Margera on Howard Stern a few months ago about the upcoming 2.5, I was very excited to see it. Well, I just finished watching 2.5, and even though I laughed a lot, it just overall usually felt like a deleted scene reel from a DVD. Of course that's what a lot of the footage is, but after I heard they were still filming long after number 2's release, I figured we'd get the same type of movie we've seen in the past, but only this time they were just going to market it differently. This film consists of good bits and failed bits, most of which are set up with interviews. The first two films barely missed a beat, even when the bit wasn't the greatest, but 2.5. consists of mostly just amusing stuff. Don't get me wrong, I had a good time, but expected so much more. One thing that really let me down, is the lost Don Vito tooth pulling scene is still missing, even though Bam mentioned they'll finally show it. I'm guessing it's from the recent conviction, but that bit could have made the whole movie, if it's as great as Bam says it is. So if you're a Jackass fan, check out 2.5. If you're new to Jackass, check out 1 and 2, cause that's where the real laughs are.

Yipeekiyay_MotherFazza I have more info on this title but don't know how to edit it, so ill leave it here:Running Time: 64mins, Release: Available Online OnlyFurther Info: Remaining Unused scenes made in production with jackass number two, compiled together by Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville.Jackassworld.com Info: When all the guys got together to make jackass number two, they filmed more than a movie-they filmed a movie and a half. Maybe even two. The problem was only 90 minutes of the resulting mess could be used in the feature, leaving almost an hour of movie-worthy s*** on the proverbial cutting room floor.Not knowing what to do with all this material, Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville decidedly set it aside for some undecided future use.For the better part of the year following the release of jackass number two, this cache of unseen footage remained in limbo until someone came up with the idea to film all new interviews with the cast, talking about this excess of never-before-seen pranks, stunts, and random acts of behind-the-scenes mischief and stupidity, and package it into a documentary-like feature called jackass 2.5.Although this isn't necessarily the "new" jackass movie, it's still every bit as unbelievable, dirty, and downright sexy as its predecessors-maybe even more so at points.Sean Cliver
