DVD Reviews of National Lampoon's TV: The Movie
DVD Review: Unrated??? Is this really necessary?
Summary: 1 Stars
What is the point of releasing an unrated version of a movie that wasn't good enough to be released in the first place? As a rabid Jackass fan I snatched this up the first time I saw it at the video store. My wife was the sensible one and refused to watch it with me. This isn't even remotely funny. What could be added to this that wasn't in the original release? More nudity? More cursing? More of Steve-O on a not only unfunny but truly frightening drug binge that when I first watched this I said to myself that he either needed to enter rehab or he was going to die very soon (Glad he went with rehab). Seriously I love the Jackass guys and I try to support them in whatever they do, but this is just bad. It is truly unwatchable. There are two things I remember about this movie they are Chris Pontius playing Jesus (funny considering his infamous skit on Jackass) and feeling just sad and scared for Steve-O. DVD Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is arguably one of the finest films ever made. In an instant classic making performance, Steve-O Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy and Wee-Man really stepped up and nailed this one. This is big time funny. TV The Movie is a must have for your DVD collection. I bought two copies, one to watch and one to save as an investment. I don't know who wrote "TVTM" but they did a really good job. Bring on "TV The Movie 2".DVD Review: National lampoons the movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought that this movie was going to be so funny and a great watch but in fact all it was a bunch of naked parts and sexual behavior. I am a big big fan of the jackass crew and was so excited when I found this. I was very disappointed in what it was about. There were some funny parts that made me laugh but the whole movie is just basically a porn. This is way way more for guys then girls that's for sure. I also wanted to see more of Chris and he has such a small part, that made me sad. I would say rent this movie before you buy it because you may be unhappy with what you get. I am going to just stick with wildboyz and my jackass DVDs.DVD Review: Showed promise, then fizzled...
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a fan of Amazon Women on the Moon and Kentucky Fried Movie, when I saw this at the video store, I was inclined to rent it. Add the fact that it stars a few members of the Jackass crew, I was relatively stoked to see what this was all about.
For anyone who isn't familiar with the first two films I listed, this movie isn't so much a movie, per se, as it is a collection of skits compiled into a movie. The difference being while Amazon Women on the Moon featured a group of up-and-coming actors at the time (such as Arsenio Hall, David Alan Grier, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Phil Hartman to name a few), TV The Movie features mostly B-List celebrities in addition to the Jackass crew (Judd Nelson, Miguel A. N??ez Jr., Jason Mewes, and Tony Cox all make appearances.)
The skits start off pretty funny, with Party Dude, The Real Fear Factor, a parody of the Jamie Kennedy show, and the first Tijuana Cops skit actually getting a laugh or two from my friends and I...
... then it kinda goes downhill from there.
After about a half hour, the acting become predictable. You start noticing that Steve-O doesn't play too many roles except for the role of himself. Preston Lacy doesn't play anyone whose size ISN'T an issue. And throughout the film, there seems to be this fascination with midgets that goes beyond whatever roles might be suitable for Wee Man. There's even a skit that advertises a fake line of Jackass figurines. That was kinda weak.
The skits are also what ends up dragging the movie down towards the end. Instead of creating new ideas and working on them, the second half of the film takes the skits that were played out at the first half the film and just drags them on to unnecessary lengths. While it would have been better to write new skits or just end the movie earlier, there's probably about 30 minutes of film that just seems completely unnecessary due to its lack of imagination.
Overall, if you see this at the video store and it's not a two-day rental, or if you need to throw something in your NetFlix queue, then by all means. If you're thinking about buying this movie however, unless you're a fanatic of either National Lampoon or the Jackass people, I'd find a better way to invest the money.
DVD Review: Garbage, don't waste your money.
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Jackass, Wildboyz etc. but this was god awful. I rented the movie & wished I could've gotten my money back. DON'T BUY IT.
Description of National Lampoon's TV: The Movie
National Lampoon's TV: The Movie is a celebration of the ever-increasing ridiculousness of society reflected through television.oh, who are we trying to kid? We just wanted to break stuff, throw Steve-O off a building and get some chicks naked. Biting sketch comedy combined with "Jackassian" stunts form the basis of this demented channel-surfing adventure for the unfocused youth of the world. This spoof comedy stars pop-culture icons of the past and present Lee Majors, Judd Nelson and the cast of "Jackass"! From "Fear Factor" to "Wife Swap" to "The Apprentice" to "Girls Gone Wild", nothing is off limits. So sit back, relax and let us change the channel for you.General DVDs
