This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

"Steve-O: The Early Years" is a 44.5-minute documentary from over 10 years ago and it focuses on Steve-O, possible the most insane member from the Jackass gang. Like the title says, the focus is on his early years. Apart from interviews and (of course) stunts by and with the title character, there are also many scenes with other Jackass members and people who shaped Steve-O in one way or the other. However, I need to question the necessity of such a documentary as I have to question the whole idea of Steve-O being famous. The good thing is that if he made it, really everybody can make it, no matter how little talent they got. But is that really a good thing? I am not so sure about that. Doing risky stupid pranks and stunts really should not be considered a talent these, or at least not be considered a talent that is enough to make one famous on a national level. I disapprove and I do not recommend watching this film. Thumbs down.
