movie review jackass: the movie
Rated R
Runtime: 1hr 37min
Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy

MFG Rating: 5/5

Strictly speaking, it's hard to even call jackass: the movie a movie at all. There's no plot, none at all. This is simply a feature length episode of the jackass television show on MTV, with one big difference... this one is rated R, and we strongly approve!

For those who might not know the premise of the show, jackass is about a group of guys who perform stupid stunts and practical jokes on each other, unsuspecting bystanders and even their own families. Heh, especially their own families... Bam has the most understanding father on the planet.

I'm having trouble saying anything about the stunts in the movie as that might be considered breaking our strict no-spoilers rule, but as there isn't actually a plot I don't think I'm actually spoiling anything if I mention a couple of things that they do. If you don't want to know anything at all, just stop reading now.

Do you know what/where the gooch is? If not, you will... and you'll see what happens when you send an electric shock through it. How about having a baby alligator chomp down on your nipple? Would you like to be shot with a crowd control round from a 12 gauge shotgun? I think you've got the idea.

This is easily the funniest movie I've seen all year, it's not even a contest. Most critics hate this movie as they just can't relax and enjoy the sophomoric humor these guys put on the screen. As a result you just know the only award these guys are going to get is the Best Comedy award at next years MTV Movie Awards, and even then they might not get it as the movie was produced by MTV and they might consider that a conflict.

No matter, this is still going to be the comedy of the year. See it if you haven't already, go see it again if you have. Oh, and be sure to stay all the way through the credits... Son of Jackass!

OUCH!!


Blood & Gore
                   
Up close and personal watching stitches being put in, and you know it's not fake.


Car Chases
                   
OK, there's not actually a car chase, but there are a few car/scooter moments that just plain deserve to be put here anyway.


T&A
                   
There are no women in this movie, consider that a warning.

The laugh factor couldn't have been higher!
