So much average

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Johnny Knoxville and his band of idiots bring their crazy stunts, ridiculous pranks, and homoerotic dares to the big screen. It is a crime against humanity and crass beyond grotesque. It's also gut-busting hilarity at times. First it's a demolition derby, human bowling, and then it goes downhill from there. It is insanely stupid and undeniably joyous. There is chaos at an empty golf course. Then the idiots spread their idiocy overseas to Japan. The scariest and the most brainless has to be the alligator pit. One can get on a high horse and denounce this movie. I choose to accept its anarchic nature and enjoy its charming stupidity.

Jackass: The Movie (2002): Dir: Jeff Tremaine / Cast: Johnny Knoxville, Steve O, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera: Product of M-T.V. with a group acting out bizarre stunts to the appeal of our mischievous level in younger years. Pure spectacle without plot yet the concept has appeal. Its structure is a series of stunts all separated by a fading screen. We witness urination on a snow cone before it is digested. Other stunts include smash up derby with rental cars, golf cart wars, a boxing fight within a department store. One of the guys has a bowel movement in his pants before finishing in a brand new toilet. This is witness by shocked employees. There is an X-ray that reveals a toy car in someone's anal track. There is tight rope walking above a pit of alligators. And finally there is an electric shock treatment applied to the penis. Director Jeff Tremaine films it like a bad documentary, which works for the humour element. Among the crusade that perform these acts are Johnny Knoxville, Steve O, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Bam Margera, and Chris Pontius who catch our attention despite our urge to resist. They tap into that willing urge to sin like the child wondering if he can obtain the cookie from the cookie jar without getting caught. Pointless wretch aimed at the wrong audience. As if there is actually a right audience for this sort of thing. Score: 7 / 10

This is one of those films where people will either love it or hate it, I love it. It's not a good film to review simply because it really cannot be classified as a cinematic film. It's a social film, social in the sense that you can watch it with a bunch of friends and laugh and forget about the world for a few hours to just laugh at sheer stupidity.Jackass the Movie is sheer stupidity but it's not a bad film. It's always nice seeing a bunch of close friends laugh with each other despite risking their lives in the most ludicrous ways whilst doing so. I can't imagine many people over the age of 40 liking this film because it can be extremely vulgar in some parts and quite gruesome in others. For younger people it's seeing people do things that you wouldn't dare do plus some things you've always wanted to do. There are some genuine laugh-out-loud moments in this film which is why I love it so much. The layout of the film is very simple but very effective, the music used can even add extra humour to some parts which shows that despite the content of this film being silly, these guys do know a thing or two about film. I would recommend this film if you're not wanting cinematic awe, if you're just wanting a laugh, plain and simple. Do not watch this film if you do not have a strong stomach or do not approve of unnecessary vulgarity.

You want to see people eat their own urine mixed with snow, give themselves paper-cuts between their fingers and toes, fire rockets from body parts which shouldn't have rockets fired from them, shove toy cars where toy cars should not be shoved, attempt to make their mother swear on camera by going to the great length of placing a live alligator in her kitchen and attach muscle stimulators to tender glands. Then watch this movie.The movie crude, rude, hilarious. Every scene in the movie these guys put their lives on the line in order to make us laugh. Now, that is comedy! And when the movie ended, I was upset. It should have been about 120 minutes.
