Absolutely Fantastic

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I love this movie for multiple reasons. The way it was filmed reminds me of something me and my friends would film, as it is very DIY and low budget. The camera appears to be a home video camcorder, and everything they do in the movie for the most part doesn't cost anything. They break many laws, harm themselves quite a bit, and document all of this into an hour long movie in a documentary type format. I looked up to Bam Margera a lot as a skateboarder when i was young and just started skating for whatever reason. So that's another reason why I like this movie a lot. And over all it gives off a pretty cool vibe, almost like you're there just hanging out with your friends.

Well, I waited 10 years to finally watch this, and being 71, it was not likely that I would find it hilarious, but it was far less funny than I thought it would be. Aside from the opening car-rental skit and the golf course skit, I never "lol"ed. Before anyone thinks I'm just too old, let me say I found (and still do) "The Groove Tube", "Dumb and Dumber", "Airplane", "Something About Mary", "The Meaning of Life", and "Top Secret", intermittently extremely funny, and I was in a frat in college for a couple of years. But I have never found people getting hurt hilarious, either accidentally or on purpose, which accounts for much of the "humor" of this piece of junk. This was ultimately just a bunch of drunk-acting frat boys doing stupid pranks on each other or unsuspecting strangers. Kind of an elaborate version of putting a whoopee-cushion under an unsuspecting visitor and laughing your head off when the noise goes off. Perfect if your sense of humor is stunted at about age 12 or 13. It is a sad commentary on our society that late teens (mostly males) are so bored and so jaded and so immature that something like this can pass as great entertainment and spawn a number of sequels. Pathetic! Update: Surprisingly, I found "Bad Grandpa", by the same production crew, hilarious, which shows that you never can tell.

A crazier and uncensored continuation of the stunts and pranks by the various characters of the MTV television series Jackass, 'Jackass: The Movie' is A Stunt Show! 'Jackass: The Movie' is 85 minutes long, and this reality film, offers some truly risky stunts, some nudity and embarrassing moments. Johnny Knoxville leads the bandwagon and also does some stunts sportingly.There is a particular gag, named as Butt X-Ray, where Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of this hit-flick, 'inserts a toy car wrapped in a condom into rectum and getting X-rays of the car inside his anus'! Do I need to say anything more? This flick is dangerous, funny & completely absurd!

Ah yes, this takes me back. Many years ago, back in 2001 me and my mates used to watch Jackass sacrilegiously. We would bring in our snacks and drinks, snuggle down on our beanbags and corners, turn the lights down and watch each episode with satanic reverence. Such a show had never been seen, such power and wisdom never portrayed on screen. For a time these men became our idols: Johnny Knockville, Steve-Uh, Panty Boy, Bam Margaret, Presto, Little Man, Danger Eric, Ryan Dumb, Dave Englund etc et all. Every single stunt and sketch they performed for us filled our bellies with merriment and our hearts with warmth. We laughed, we screamed, we soiled each others' pants. It soon became apparent that it was our lot in life to copy and then improve on these acts ourselves, and eventually create our own earth shattering tricks and treats to perform for the masses and in turn earn ourselves millions! Yes, this is the story of my own misspent youth: Jerkass: The Movie: We split ourselves up into roughly two categories: Those who wanted to attempt the stunts, the things which may involve being hurt physically or being sick mentally, and those who could do the funny stuff like pretending your baby has just been crushed by a 10 tonne truck, you know the stuff that involved acting. We started off small, jumping across fences and posts on skateboards naked, moving up to diving over cars on a skateboard with one wheel dressed as Freddie Mercury. Eventually we were doing amazing things that Evil Ken Evil would have been proud of: balancing on a unicycle on one finger while hopping between the roofs of moving race cars which were driven by grizzly bears. Of course we employed rat traps, snooker cues, hatchets, tramps, and of course staples. One highlight was a game of tag we played in a rented function room in our local leisure centre. Instead of tagging with our hands, we used cattle prods. Within 12 minutes we were rolling on the floor, covered in mess skating and crying for our mothers; they never came. When we recovered 2 hours later, we all picked on our version of Little Man- Bernard. We each stuck him with our prods from behind, from on top, in his leg, in his stomach, in his special area over and over and over. The results are stunning. I particularly liked the way he ran down the corridor, stripping off his clothes to reveal his burning skin, spillings and devastation dripping everywhere. He bursts through to the children's' paddling pool, slips onto his back and proceeds to slide into the water which eventually turns a wrong colour. Genius.Another trick was dressing up as policemen and driving to various houses. When someone came to the door we would inform them that their husband/wife/children had been murdered and record the hilarious results. Sometimes we would hide in post boxes and when someone put a letter in we would jab them with a rusty needle. Once on a golf course we hired a truck and trailer, and drove up the 18th fairway with a bouncy castle on the trailer filled with local miscreants let out of the asylum for a day. Even better was when the wind suddenly changed and they decided to go on a rampage through the grounds of the golf club, chasing grannies with a 9 iron, and pretending the real swans in the lake were plastic paddle boats. Unfortunately the public did not find many of these japes particularly amusing and as a result we were reported to the local constable. Soon we were remanded in custody and our tapes and equipment seized. Most of us were given community service and had to work on a farm, clean up dirty swimming pools, or help feed the crazies at the asylum before midnight. I got off light because I pretended to be from Lithuania. Jackass: The Movie Film went further than the series. We went further still.Best Scene: When Dave makes a toilet (loady) in the local hardware store even though it doesn't flush. He stole that idea from me. Speaking of which, I'm busting right now
