Jackass: The Movie

Jackass: The MovieSure, Paramount harps way too much on the flick’s memorable, yet limited "CAN’T SEE THIS ON TV!!!" content. But what Hollywood marketing weasels can’t BEGIN to over hype is how freaking HILARIOUS this neuvo-Flying Circus of the cerebrally challenged proves to be.

Evel Kee-Knoxville and his motley crew head-butt the big screen with a rapid-fire onslaught of pranks, stunts and wholesale juvenile foolishness that clearly bests even their very worst MTV calamities. A rental car returns in less than virginal condition after finding its way onto the crash derby circuit. Steve-O navigates a tight rope across an alligator pit with raw chicken dangling from his hiney. Fussy golfers and airhorns mix poorly. The gang takes cringe-inducing turns swapping paper cuts. Unruly pandas go berserk in Japan. The latter day Stooges’ pee-pee d’resistance? Mining comedy from the sphincter of one of their own. CineSchlockers, however, will undoubtedly leap from their sweat-stained couches with applause for the riotously epic fireball finale. Even the disc itself is so crammed with gut-busting goodies it must’ve required numerous tubes of personal lubricant. Don’t miss Johnny’s misadventures returning a not-so-gently used sex toy or the untold horror of YELLOW MUSTARD!!!

No breasts. Way too many untethered wangdoodles. Gratuitous urination (with ingestion). Gator to the nipple. Pants doodieing. Hypodermic closeup. Sea critter manipulation. Gratuitous confetti’d cameo. Rampant racking. Wasabi snorting. Gratuitous Japanese shutterbugs. Bowling ball to the groin. Multiple puking. Whale humping. Inflate-a-Dates in peril. Best reference wasted on most of the Jackass gang? Caked in geriatric makeup, Mr. Knoxville howls, "I WAS LON CHANEY‘S LOVER!!!"
