Summary: Johnny Knoxville -- the original Jackass himself -- returns after a long hiatus and subjects himself to all-new stunts involving wild animals, dangerous heights and other perils guaranteed to do him bodily harm. "Jackass" regulars Bam Margera and Steve-O also endure their share of punishment in this collection of stomach-churning, don't-ever-try-these-at-home acrobatics that time and again blur the line between hilarious and tasteless.
Well, I guess I am just getting old and boring, but these days I find Buster Keaton falling on his ass more amusing than these guys getting hit in a face by a flying dildo. The whole Jackass thing stopped being original or shocking like ten years ago.
This might be the closest that movies have ever gotten to "Ass" from Idiocracy. The worst part is that I'm afraid I might go see that if it were made by the Jackass crew.
If there's anything that deserves the use of Phantom high-speed cameras, it's dudes getting splashed with water and then punched in the face. Honestly, I think slapstick's a dying breed of comedy and we have to take what we can get. All the pain gags are far more entertaining than the gross ones, but I have to say, it's a sick kind of wonder to witness something so repulsive that other people in the room start vomiting.
It's the distilled purity of the stupidity that makes it endearing. That, and the unbridled joy of the participants. As always, the worst scenes are those involving innocent bystanders. Fortunately, there aren't too many of those in this installment. However, a lot of the other stunts/pranks fall flat, too. Maybe the guys are running out of steam or out of ideas, but there aren't as many laughs this time around. Still, when the laughs do come, they come hard. The guiltiest of guilty pleasures.
I dunno how you're supposed to review a movie wherein Will Oldham aka Bonnie "Prince" Billie is a fake gorilla trainer. But I laughed a lot more than at the shitty comedies where like the guy meets a girl and you are supposed to not know if it's gonna work but it always fucking does and they have some mishaps or something but whatever pretty much dudes pissin on dudes is way better than that because those movies give you a distorted and flawed sense of the way romance works and Jackass doesn't.
The JACKASS films are hard to critique because they aim so low, and are so easily satisfied with themselves, that any normal standard of criticism seems futile. But is it fun to watch? It sure as hell is. The crew make great company, and their stunts are consistently entertaining to watch--as much for the likability of the participants as for what they actually do. God only knows how it was in 3-D--but Preston Lacy's distilled ass sweat would be nauseating in semaphore. But...that's JACKASS.
Probably the worst of the jackass films -- which still means it's pretty hilarious. But you start to see their aging, here, and there's the uneasy sense that they should really probably stop.
Their best one in my opinion. They went from being some idiots in their late 20's. Now they're approaching their early 40's, and their even more idiotic! R.I.P. Ryan Dunn. My favourite since you stuck that toy car up your ass!
It's sad to watch this film in 2-D knowing that it should be in 3-D, one of the errors of the format. However, it doesn't grate too much and I found myself laughing more than I should at the well varied amount of slapstick humour, gross-out gags, surreal scenarios, and general dicking around. The most shocking thing about this movie was discovering how little my love for these guys has changed over a whole decade -- I guess they're some of the finest comedians/stuntmen of our generation.
While I still had a good amount of laughs, Jackass 3-D doesn't really stack up to the first two films. There's just too much slow motion here (are we sure Zack Snyder wasn't directing this?), and I have to imagine the act is starting to wear on the crew as much as it's running it's course with the viewing audience.
