Jackass - The Movie on DVD (2002)

Rip from Manchester [Highly rated reviewer] , 01/11/2005

Sick in a good way.. Great fun, just like the TV programme with a bigger budget and a bigger shopping trolly. I always feel that I shouldn't like it but I do!

I'd never seen the tv show before I watched this, but might have to start watching now. This film is HILARIOUS, although it pains me slightly to say it - if you laughed at cartoon kids singing 'uncle f***er' in South Park, then you'll know what I mean. It's so prurient, so juvenile, but so utterly infectious! It's at heart nothing more than a compendium of clips, based around stupid/dangerous/disgusting stunts which a team of seemingly indestructable young men perform and film with worryingly evident glee. Headed by Johnny Knoxville, a kind of dark-haired, satanic version of Brad Pitt, they proceed to dive headfirst down bowling alleys on skateboards, crash golf carts in adventure playgrounds, test out riot-control weapons on themselves, snort wasabi... the list goes on and on. It's definitely not for everyone, and there is some genuinely disgusting footage which is extremely distasteful, but if the sound of it doesn't put you off you'll probably enjoy this as much as I did.

I only ordered this for the enjoyment of my male flatmates, but I have to admit (somewhat begrudgingly) that it's the most I have laughed in quite some time. The guys certainly live up to their title and how they aren't all hospitalized by the end of it is mystery. Definitely worth a watch.

"Jackass. The movie". Well in reality it's just an extended episode of the MTV hit series but what you have to ask youself is....

Is "The" a good thing (yes, if you like Jackass)

or

Is "The" a bad thing (no, if you don't)

The stunts are no bigger or no funnier however, I couldn't stop laughing all the way through. I even hunted through the entire DVD looking for extras and removed bits. To my relief there were plenty. In fact, they could make a 'directors cut' with the extra 20 mins of footage you can find.

All in all, an excellent -extended version- of Jackass. I loved it, my wife thinks I'm sad. Although my wife's opinion of me isn't just based on my taste in DVDs.

So, if you are sitting on the fence about whether to watch this movie, ask yourself, would you laugh at sick, stupid, childish and dangerous behaviour? If the answer is yes, sit back with a cold beer and prepare to laugh so hard that it comes out of your nose.

I loved this.....Big opening scenes which were totally un-expected, yet bloody amazing. Then it settled into the Jackass that i personally love, no frills just bloody funny. And not a scratch on the face of the lovely Johnny Knoxville all the way through! Phew!!!!
