I love this movie so much

Fresh and Exciting

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

"Wildboyz" is accidentally good. It's a far more comprehensive "cultural exploration" than any offered up by usual travel programs – television docs enhancing typifications of a city's carnality, or the snobbish drivel you find on the Outdoor Life Network.I'd recommend "Wildboyz" to those inquiring what life is "really like" in Thailand, Africa, or wherever. Steve-O and company may not outline any ethos entirely (who could?), but they don't construe the matter to satisfy predominate interpretations like "life outside American is always in squalor and suicidal." And to the other side: Life outside America isn't whimsical; there are no fairy tales for your keepsake.People, everywhere, are living and breathing, sometimes smiling, sometimes crying. The wildboyz get it.

If you look at Wildboyz and expect to see a Jackass type program, you will be disappointed, because it does not live up to those expectations. However, when you look at Wildboyz like a nature program meets jackass, then you understand what its really about, and you appreciate it for what it is. After watching multiple episodes, I must say I'm impressed. Its not brainless, the guys really do take a more or less professional approach to the animals (with the help of wildlife experts to prevent Steve O and Chris Pontius from being eaten alive), and you can learn something about the animals while watching. At the same time, its so darn funny to hear the boys' stupid remarks, and watch them get bit and scared by these wild animals. Also, the show is made with respect for the animals. They take responsibility for getting bit, and never hurt the animals. Thats something I can surely appreciate.

I give credit to Johnny Knoxville. He's pursued acting and he's generally a likable guy. He was cool on "Jackass" and now he's cool in movies.The rest of the gang have some serious growing up to do. "Jackass" was amusing because it was shocking and so juvenile it was almost brilliant in its juvenile pranks.The spin-off shows are simply lame. The format of the shows is no longer entertaining. Watching guys volunteer to endure physical pain is stupid enough - watching them writhe about screaming like babies for hours as an alligator chomps on their genitalia is boring and sick."Wildboyz" stars "Jackass" veterans Steve-O (the guy who smuggled drugs in his butt through an airport and got arrested) and Chris Pontius (who used to do the male stripper routine on "Jackass"). They travel and film pranks in jungles and exotic locations.It's better than "Viva la Bam" but still annoying, juvenile and generally uninteresting. "Jackass" has had its time - stuff like this just gets old.

It took me some time to warm up on Wildboyz. In the beginning the show was pretty mediocre, but it got better and better as it went along. An important reason for this is that Steve-O and Pontius seemed to become more comfortable in front of the camera, and their chemistry improved. In fact their chemistry is now one of the greatest strengths of the show.This is a quirky and funny TV-series, and all the cute animals are a good, added bonus. It's also nice to seem some primitive cultures in the program from time to time, in fact I would like too see more of them. The interaction with the natives is often just as funny and bizarre as it is with the animals. Maybe even more so.The show is pretty graphic at times and it's mostly low-brow humor, but if you dig that kind of thing (Like I do), then Wildboyz delivers in a big way.
