Summary: Everything and more you expect from Jackass Alum
Review: First off, GREAT entertaining piece of film!! All those looking for a movie with some sort of plot to it, this is not for you. This is simply Jackass pranks, un-censored and at it's greatest. Travel with Johnny Knoxville and the crew as they take you through stund after stunt of pure hilarious (yet painful to watch) entertainment. I almost have to say this movie should have been NC-17 instead of just "R" but I'm not complaining. Im just sayin, "Children, BEWARE!" If your looking for some good harsh Jackass stunts, This film will live up to every expectation!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The guiltiest pleasure known to man
Review: Okay, I tend to think of myself as a movie lover, I have a rather large DVD collection including films the likes of Apocalypse Now, 2001: a space odessy and heck even Barry Lyndon. Now these movies are what i would call cinematic art, but how can someone who loves films like these appreciate something like Jackass ?. I tend to think that i can enjoy something like Jackass because of man's nature to laugh at others pain and stupidity.

Jackass quite simply put is a very ummm, 'unique' piece of film in which men throw themselves at cieling fans, beat their fathers on the toilet, snort wasabi and insert toy cars in their anus. There is just something so fresh about the whole prospect that it is so easy to just silence that little voice of reason within you and get lost in the experience. The only real problem i have with the film is the high level of male nudity but somehow i can bear it simply because of the usually outrageous outcome.

I think Jackass is a little more than just a simple gross out comedy but is rather a one fingered salute to rational thinking and society friendly behaviour. Jackass is something that is wildly entertaining and is a welcome breath of fresh air that will make you laugh, squirm, flinch and never think of matchbox cars in the sameway ever again.

Summary: Total disbelief
Review: I'm of the first generation MTV viewers. That is I used to watch Martha Quinn and other VJs play videos 24 hours a day. I never missed Headbanger's Ball on Saturady night and loved Miss Julie Brown's show on Sunday afternoon. That being said I haven't watched MTV in over ten years since the channel went to hell in a handbasket. I had heard of the show Jackass, but never bothered watching. Since it was on MTV, I could only guess it was either a half hour or hour of more MTV stupidity.

Well I rented the movie on a goof and was in total disbelief. Don't get me wrong, I was on the floor rolling with laughter and howling at these idiots. I mean c'mon, this is the lowest common denominator for entertainment. Paper cuts between the toes, shooting bottle rockets from their butts, and beating a fat naked man on the toilet.

The golf blowhorn was a hoot as was the Japanese Panda Anarchy. The last straw was the lubed Hotwheels in the anus though. Thank God that's where the movie ended. I had had enough at that point. Attempted oral sex with whale sharks is one thing, but an X-ray of your butt cavity as a toy box is beyond relief.

I don't think I could have a steady diet of this stuff, but I'd watch it again. For shock value alone (and I think that's the point) this DVD goes above and beyond.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good Music - Pathetic Film
Review: The 2 stars is for the music alone. The movie is vulgar and pointless. I'm certainly no prude, but watching some guy do a bowel movement in public or another inserting toy cars into his hind end really isn't my idea of entertainment. Nothing is sadder than watchng a sorry group of druggies trying for the attention that their parents never gave them. If this what we've come to, then I'm sorry for all of us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST COMEDY MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!
Review: This movie was so funny and gross! Every skit was funny, but some of the skits should of not been in the movie. However this had to be the best comedy movie of the year and will surely be a classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Far Deeper Than People Think
Review: OK, if you're bracing for me to claim that "Jackass" belongs in the company of "Schindler's List" or "Godfather," you can relax...But this movie--and the show that led up to it--is far more important and meaningful than its surface would indicate.

First off: The surface. "Jackass: The Movie" is around 90 minutes of bathroom humor and self-mutilating stunts and pranks as pulled by Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and friends in the homoerotic style of frat-house hazing. It's like the TV show but bolder and better produced. Many of the guys show off their very ordinary bodies in thongs and jockstraps. And the film is funny. Really funny. The kind of belly laughs that only come from being shocked as well as amused. Our band of buddies eat snowcones soaked in ..., wreck a golf cart, snort wabasi (horseradish sauce), scorch their hams launching bottle rockets from their anuses, allow a baby alligator to bite down on a nipple, and [use a] store's display toilet.

But just beneath all that is a remark on the inaccessibility of manhood and spirituality in modern times. If you tune out the laughter and high-wattage smiles, "Jackass" plays like "The Lives of the Saints": a series of inventive tortures, a sequence of iconic poses by "martyrs" bathed in body fluids and contorted in pain. Knoxville even apes crucifixion on a "Rolling Stone" cover. Other times we see his body, like St. Sebastian's, quilled with arrows or darts. When it's pelted with objects, we recall the stoning of St. Stephen. Mutilating the body as a path to spiritual focus has a long Christian history, which "Jackass" gleefully pulls out of context, making shallow fun of it while mourning the loss of its depth.

Then there's the references to manhood rites and macho heroes: Eating multiple boiled eggs then throwing them up (a failed Cool Hand Luke), losing badly to a much better boxer, never seeming to have a chance (a failed Rocky), running scared from a bullfight (a failed Ernest Hemingway), etc. Knoxville and crew fail enjoyably, though; theirs is a kind of campy masculinity, an acknowledgement that the modern world has forced off the mask of machismo that once lionized and protected men. All guys are wussies now, so Steve-O might as well skate onto thin ice in a lacy ballerina outfit.

"Jackass," then, is a kind of nihilism, a male bonding without a higher purpose which uses the sugar of hilarity, camraderie, and camp to help down the hatch a bitter message about a time without real he-men or holy men. The audience may be too busy guffawing to notice that this sadomasochistic sit-com is revved up by a nonchalant homoeroticism and a breezy iconoclasm or that its characters' laughs are sometimes a bit forced or nervous.

The week "Jackass" came out in theaters, I took a trio of 15yo boys to see it (its target audience whether anyone admits it or not), and one of them complained afterward that Steve-O wasn't as manly as Bam because he refused to suffer a matchbox car up the .... After laughing throughout the film, I laughed yet again. Boy, are we guys confused or what?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Painful to watch sometimes, yet very entertaining.
Review: I really looked forward to seeing this, I was not disappointed. This film is loaded with painful, stupid, and just plain idiotic incidents. Some of the funnier clips were at the end and were not included in the theatrical release. But just like the television series, I laughed histerically at some things but turned my head for others (ie: the paper cuts).

If you like the series, be sure and give the movie a try.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackass The Movie, Great Movie, Even better DVD
Review: Critics hated it, fans loved it. No one can really describe why we loved the "Jackass" TV series so much, but when I heard a movie was coming out, I couldn't wait. Something that sets this apart from other comedies is this is actually happening, these aren't actors, this is real life stuff.

All in all, if you like the show, you will love the movie. The opening scene has to be one of the greatest openings for any movie of all time, and it really sets the tone for how great the movie is. I won't spoil anything, but "Burglars", "Golf Course Air Horn", and "Hardware Poop (I think that's what it's called)", are some of the best. My only complaints with the movie is that it could've been longer, and they could've cut down on the male nudity, which I think we can all agree, there was a little too much of.

Overall, I don't see how I can complain about anything in this movie because I have never laughed so hard in the theater in my life. You will react to everything that they do, eveytime they fall, you will feel it. This is one of the movies that will make all old people say "damn teenagers" over and over in their heads. And it will make airhorns fly off the shelves, but hopefully Toy Car sales won't increase (Watch the movie). A hilarious movie, and we can only hope for a part 2.

Now, the DVD, which I expected to be short of spectacular, was actually very good. It has around 30 minutes of bonus footage, which nearly all of it is all new stuff cut from the movie. If you think the movie is too short, this really fills in the whole time problem. Not only does the DVD have alot of new funny material, but it has TV spots, Music videos, Outtakes, "Making of the Movie" from MTV, and a lot more. And yes, it contains even more male nudity! AAHH!

The movie is like nothing we've seen before at the theater, it's hilarious, and the DVD is jam packed with extras, including about 30 minutes of brand new footage. You cannot go wrong with this DVD purchase, if you don't laugh at some of this stuff, you need to start enjoying yourself more. Great, great movie, Even better DVD...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not for people looking for a "deep" plot!
Review: First off if you are looking for a movie with a plot, do not get this. If you are easily grossed out, do not get this movie.

However, if you are a fan of the TV show Jackass on MTV then you need to get this movie. From the intro, to the wasuabe snooters, to the end credits, I was in tears. My wife who kinda likes the show was in tears. This movie is hiliarious!

You get to see Bam pick on his parents some more and make his Mom say a certain word, Steve-O being Steve-O, some of Party boy in Japan, and Johnny get shot with a riot control device. Also, there are some special guest appearences that you will not believe. The pranks do not stop there and go as far as you are probably thinking they can go. When the movie is over you need to check out the outtakes and the bonus footage, they are great as well.

If you are looking for a movie where you do not have to follow closely, want to laugh your rear off, and just see some entertaining stuff, GET THIS MOVIE NOW!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "better than Citizen Kane"??? i don't think so...
Review: I watched the TV show many times... i stopped watching it when I saw one of the Jackassess eating his own vomit (yeah! you readed it well)...

I can't believe that someone compared this gross movie (where the Jackassess eat their own urine) with Citizen Kane.
