The only thing people should expect from this film is too laugh your [bottom] off as these hilarious guys abuse themselves and risk their lives. Why are all these critics taking it so seriously? You're supposed to have fun. You're not supposed to be disgusted as these guys add scars to their bodies. So as long as it's not you, have fun!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the infamous TV show, this is about Johnny Knoxville and his gang of idiots (Steve-O, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Chris ‘Party Boy' Pontius, Preston Lacy, and Ryan Dunn) who go around with beating the [excrement] out of each other and pulling pranks on other people. You can clearly tell these guys haven't evolved over the age of fifteen.
It's a little hard to do a movie review on this film since it's not actually a movie. There's no plot, no cool 3-dimenstional characters, no big Hollywood budget. It's all just a series of practical jokes and grotesque stunts. But I'll try the best I can to review it. Well, if you think about it, it's not that hard to review a movie about a guy who sticks meat in his [bottom] and antagonizes a crocodile to chomp it out.
Many (or probably all) of the weird-[bottom] skits cracked me up. I especially loved the ones that either sent one of them to the hospital or made one of them throw up (I should have said all of them). There were a lot that made me gasp. Like the guy that ate the [urine]-covered snow cone. And the also the paper cuts. Jeez! That [excrement] stayed in my head for a while. The opening scene was genius. They all get in this huge cart and go zooming down a road while chunks of rocks fly out at them. Cool stuff! The stuff that I thought was really tight was the skit where that dude got the [excrement] beat out of him by a girl. Man, that dude got it bad! And the one where Steve-O jumped off a trampoline into a moving ceiling fan. Man, that was probably one of my favorites.
There were skits that didn't do it for me. Like the one where ‘Wee Man' gets in a giant street cone and walks around. Not that funny. The Tropical Pole-Vaulting wasn't that great either. The only good part of that was when Steve-O pole-vaulted into a river full of [excrement] and dead animals.
Overall, "Jackass: The Movie" is really fun and hilarious if you don't take it so serious. How could it not be fun watching a whole bunch of guys get hurt? It's a movie you could watch over and over again.
