This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jackass the Movie is a spin off from the television series and is more explicit.The film would be popular with teenagers and stoners but for others it is an acquired taste as group of men take part in bizarre stunts, sometimes injuring themselves and with Candid Camera type antics which might be genuine or a set up with all the participants being in on the joke.Some of the physical stunts include tropical pole vaulting, stunt cycling/skateboarding, tightrope walking under alligators. You have stunts such as stock car racing with a rental car, setting fireworks off from your backside, getting beaten up by a boxer or kick boxer and some of the weird ones includes a man going to a hardware store and defecating in the display toilet and that is after he seemingly crapped in his pants getting there.The film will horrify some, sicken others, a few will find it hilarious. A couple of the sketches are genuinely funny such as the golfers getting disturbed by an air horn but mainly the feature film format is just overlong and you try to figure out which of the hidden camera parts are real and which are a fake.

You want to see people eat their own urine mixed with snow, give themselves paper-cuts between their fingers and toes, fire rockets from body parts which shouldn't have rockets fired from them, shove toy cars where toy cars should not be shoved, attempt to make their mother swear on camera by going to the great length of placing a live alligator in her kitchen and attach muscle stimulators to tender glands. Then watch this movie.The movie crude, rude, hilarious. Every scene in the movie these guys put their lives on the line in order to make us laugh. Now, that is comedy! And when the movie ended, I was upset. It should have been about 120 minutes.

Ever see a movie called Idiocracy? A film that takes place in the future as we see what our society has become due to the lack of intelligence in film, television, doctor's direction in finding a cure for baldness vs. the cure for cancer, etc. I think Mike Judge had the show Jackass in mind when he wrote that film. Jackass was a show started on MTV that I don't know how, just became very popular. Apparently men hitting their nuts with random objects is very entertaining. But the other day I wanted to watch a movie and my boyfriend brought up Jackass, I decided to go for it, what do I have to loose? Now I knew what I signed up for, after all just look at the title. It starts with the opening credits as the guys are rolling into the set on a shopping cart with epic battle music playing which I have to admit I got a good kick out of, so I thought how bad could this be? Then they start getting hit with cement and are hitting and kicking each other, but I stood strong and held on tight for this movie and God help me, I survived.Johnny Knoxville and his group of friends get together to pull a bunch of gags that will make you gag. Just imagine a bunch of drunk frat boys that have too much time on their hands and can only think of their gentiles and behinds as the only answer to any prank.I tried, I really tried, I'm one of the most liberal people you will ever meet. My opinion is as long as it's not hurting anyone, let people do what they want. But I honestly just couldn't find this funny. The only thing I laughed at and felt so dirty laughing was when Johnny and his friends dressed up as the elderly and do random things like shoplift and go running down a hill in their wheel chair. Seeing the people's reactions was just priceless. Party Guy is kind of funny too, even though I had a bad experience a few years ago with someone who dressed up as Party Guy at a Halloween party. One of those things where it's funny to see it happen to someone else as long as it's not you. With Johnny and his friends just laughing maniacally at everything bad that happens to their friends, I just found it more annoying. I feel so bad and uptight saying this, but I have to say that nothing about this movie was enjoyable or entertaining. When I was watching it with my boyfriend, he wasn't laughing, I thought it was because I wasn't, but he said he couldn't laugh, that he found it funny in high school, but not so much now. I think maybe Jackass was just a trend that led up to those wonderful videos on youtube.People who harm animals or themselves for the sake of laughs is just stupid. I know this is the title, but it worries me that people find this show/movie amusing. It shows that our intelligence is decreasing and our attention span is the length of a peanut. I guarantee you that in 10 to 15 years, these guys are going to have a lot of problems and it's not going to be so funny then. I guess maybe either I'm not as liberal as I thought or I'm just too smart for this kind of humor.2/10

Jackass: The Movie might just be the best film ever made. Hear me out. Forget about aesthetics or narrative, if one were to measure a movie's success purely by second-for-second entertainment value, then Johnny Knoxville and Co win hands - and trousers - down. This is a film, after all, where a man places a toy car in a condom and buries it in his rectum (then visits a radiologist complaining of bowel pains). Another clamps baby alligators on his nipples. Another, very simply, just poos himself. For laffs. To essentially stimulate the part of the brain that lights up when John Belushi crushes a beer can on his head in Animal House. Taken together with the sequel, it's around 3 hours of deranged brilliance you should never attempt at home. Anti-PC power: They're only hurting themselves, so oddly low.Vicar-baiting potential: 80. Scat-factor: Deep red.Blasphemy/sacrilege/profanity: Oh, a lot.
