DVD Reviews of Jackass - The Movie (Unrated Special Collector's Edition)DVD Review: hmmm, pretty good Summary: 4 Stars
If you're not familiar with the show Jackass (like me) don't go into Jackass: the Movie expecting any kind of plot. The whole movie is just one outrageous and disgusting shot of video footage stunts that immediately goes straight into another, completely unrelated stunt. In other words, the whole movie is just one disgusting (or just insanely funny) stunt after another. No plot can be found. This is probably a good thing.
Some of these stunts are really funny and hard to believe there are people out there who would actually perform stunts that could kill them if they landed the wrong way, or messed up in any kind of way whatsoever. Wrapping yourself around a rope with a piece of meat hanging on your butt while alligators below try eating it is pretty insane. Someone who is not a professional skater trying to go down a ramp on their very first attempt at such a stunt is insane, too.
Other stunts are there just to provide humor. Stunts that are considered outrageous because of the fact that it's hard to believe someone would actually have the guts to walk into a store and do -without spoiling anything- insane stuff right in FRONT of people. Some stunts are almost suicidal, while others just provide solid laughs. And for the most part, they keep you interested.
One negative is that the guys spent too much time in Japan. This means they spent a good amount of time making fun of the Japanese and the culture, which isn't really that funny in my opinion. It's easy to make fun of another culture. Everyone can make fun of America very easily, in fact. Not funny.
Worth watching once to see how crazy people can be. I liked it.

Description of Jackass - The Movie (Unrated Special Collector's Edition)All the jackasses you love from the MTV series are back performing stunts no one would let them pull on television. Some critics see the success of Jackass: The Movie as the last nail in the coffin of civilization, and they're probably right. This compilation of pain-inflicting stunts and embarrassing pranks has no artistic merit whatsoever--which doesn't keep it from being freakishly entertaining. Among other things, Johnny Knoxville and his posse get beaten up by a female kick-boxing champion; shoot bottle rockets out of their rectums; run amok in Japan wearing giant panda bear costumes; swim with whale sharks while holding pounds of brine shrimp in their swimsuits; and get done up in realistic old-age makeup so that they can race each other in motorized wheelchairs, among other goofs. It's a weird mixture of machismo and masochism, adolescent recklessness and frat boy homoeroticism, and someday someone will write a doctoral thesis about how Jackass relates to our safety-obsessed society. In the meantime, just enjoy. --Bret Fetzer
