You know...we live in a free country and that's a good thing.
You can make movies pretty much about anything you want to. And for the most part that is a good thing. There are exceptions of course. And truth be told, if there's no market for a certain type of movie, they don't make them. Then there's Jackass 3-D.
Here comes Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the rest of the Jackass Idiots in yet another graphic, gross, cable TV show come to the big screen. First, I'll give you the highlights. There is a very funny part that involves a jet engine and how it can propel objects at breakneck speeds as the idiots get pelted and blown away from the thrust. Laughed out loud! Some of the costumes these clowns wear while performing these ridiculous "stunts" are pretty funny at times too. There's some funny musical choices as well.
But, my gosh! Much of this movie so gross you may not be able to watch at times depending on your tolerance. Words cannot really express or describe some of the things you'll see if you go. There are some guilty pleasure moments where you have to laugh, but for 99 percent of this thing...it's just a gross fest.
But you have to give credit where it's due. This band of morons didn't want to get a real job for a living, so they invented one. And are being paid out the wazoo (bad word choice I know) but accurate here. To the tune of 54 million opening weekend. The show and now movies, have paid these guys beyond their wildest dreams for performing the crude, and sometimes downright offensive stunts. They do find an audience. And more than likely influence a new generation of young thrill seekers, who will mimic their escapades.
But here's some good advice, take mom to see Secretariat, or go out to dinner, and steer clear of this. Rated R and for every reason on earth. Good thing there are young adult males to go, or the theater would be empty.
Jackass 3-D. By the way, the 3-D is not at all necessary, and really doesn't work. Matches the rest of the movie.
