This time they really are in your face.
Sure this really isn't a conventional movie. No real plot, or act structure as such...but you know what? Most movies don't warrant trilogies, even if a 3rd film allows the '3.D.' line to be marketed but believe me these Jackass' deserve a third go round. After the hilarious three seasons of the groundbreaking, head casing MTV television show and two incredible feature films all that was left was for the guys to complete their 'Godfather' of juvenile comedies. In finishing the trilogy they had to finish strong and with plenty more bang and what better way than to do this in 3D. Actual 3D cameras were used (unlike most '3D' movies) and thrown up on (definitely unlike most '3D' movies).
What results is the best way you can see the most grossed out, hilarious, (at times impressive, at others too much) stunts you'll see on the silver screen. Stallone or Arnie wouldn't nightmare of doing half this stuff. So let Beavis & Butthead introduce you to some like minded people and don't try this at home because a movie event like this needs to be seen on the big screen.
Want action? There's plenty of that. Fast cars? A Lamborghini will leave your smile wider than usual. Romance? In the form of man love, there's a little bit too much of that. Nudity? There really is a little too much of that. Pontius, I'm looking in your direction. This movie doesn't let up or let down the Jackass tradition. There's more bulls, puke and excrement then ever before and it's still so disgusting, yet ever so entertaining.
Bam Magera's family still fall for animal related pranks. Steve-O still does the most crazy, sick stuff that even he doesn't want to do, but does anyway in the name of comedy and Johnny Knoxville proves that he really is a Jackass, yet again stepping up the 'gnarly' stuff he does. Proving he's very much a part of the team and not a pin up presenter.
Your going to be taken back to your high school prom. Just don't expect a limo. You can enjoy a game of pin the tail on a donkey. Just leave your tun, remember, don't try this at home. You'll get a little bit too close to grandpa and you'll wish your dog was a bit more friendly. Your going to be prodded and shocked. Paint balled and bull horned. Disgusted and scared, but when your laughing who cares about s***. Literally. This movie is part guilty pleasure, part impressive performances of stunts. Either or you've got to love it.
With cameo's from Jackass favourite affiliates and a brilliant soundtrack spearheaded by the casts assist on Weezer's new classic 'Memories'. This familiar franchise is still fresh 10 years later. Although the fond memories of some of the most frankly, f'd up stuff is so many years back now. Despite it feeling like it all started yesterday.
Love it or loathe it. Laugh or throw up Jackass was a revolutionary show. It may be cleaner than 'Dirty Sanchez' but it was also more original than it. This chicken came before the egg and Steve-O would probably put this same metaphorical chicken up his backside if you asked him, because hey when it comes to comedy anything goes. So this weekend throw away your inhibitions (because your wont need them) and finish that popcorn bucket (because you might need it for something else) and sit back and enjoy a 3D experience that will open your eyes more than 'Avatar' just in a very different way.
