Mini-Review: "Jackass - The Movie

Review by Fat Jackass
My Rating: 4 stars out of 5














IMDb:
6 stars out of 10
Rotten Tomatoes: 49% Rotten
Netflix: 3.2 stars out of 5

Pointless, stupid, juvenile, void of intellect and lacking purpose are all typical responses from critics, if those critics even bothered to watch this, which I imagine most did not. This is not typical moviedom. Obviously low brow, crass and obscene, “Jackass – The Movie” is more of a documentary on the goings-on with adult-yet-adolescent, drunk fraternity brothers.

Certainly Jackass adds credibility to the theory that boys are stupid until they are 30. And if you ever doubted collective stupidity, it is now easy to see that there is a direct correlation between the number of boys in a group and the IQ of those same boys. As the number of boys increases, the IQ of the individuals decreases by that same amount. God help you if beer or smoke are involved.

But if you fondly remember all or at least some of your youthful experiences then Jackass will supply you with a good dose of nostalgia and fear. I laughed my Jackass off, remembering when my friends and I did something similiar. Don't let anyone tell you differently. And that is what makes Jackass - The Movie great. If you have boys, and you are brave enough to know what boys are really like, then this will learn you a thing or two. But beware, because somewhere beneath every man worth his salt, is a Jackass.
