    Horrible, Annoying, Unfunny, Boring, Disgraceful

    This movie tries to be funny but fails completely. There are a few moments worth chuckling at, but the rest of the movie is so dull and pathetic that you simply won't be in the mood. The preview is actually a lot better. Don't bother with this movie, you'll just sit there wishing it will hurry up and finish. Borderline racist and blatantly sexist. I feel sorry for the reputable actors who agreed to be in this film as it will surely damage their careers.

    Absolutely nothing like Jackass, or cky, so don't be deceived by the fact that some of the Jackass crew feature in it. There are barely any stunts, and the sketches are disjointed and inappropriate. The humour is consistently so lame it actually makes you feel embarrassed. Anybody that says it was a good film, or that the people giving it a bad review "just didn't get it" are absolute morons; the jokes are so obvious, and so old, that it's impossible not to get them, they just aren't funny.

    Unquestionably one of the worst movie experiences of my life.

    Those poor actors (if you want to call them that...)

    It's a shame that this is the best the jackass guys could come up with. You gotta figure if Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera aren't in it, it's not worth seeing. They really make the shows and movies fun and worth watching. Of course it's a National Lampoon movie so it's not that great to begin with. I got bored about 10 minutes in waiting for it to be funny and I'm sorry I wasted my time on this pathetic excuse for a movie. I didn't laugh once during the entire thing. It was horrible some of the violence and cruelty it had in it. And they wonder what's wrong with people these days. They are spending time watching movies like this. Maybe next time they will think before making garbage such as this.

    Why 3.3 Total Rating ?

    Has a lot of cool scenes. the concept works very well, but has a very special sense of humor

    don't waste your time

    i should start by saying I'm not a big fan of Jackass.this though is a poor version of the jackass stunts.

    This is made up of a few jackass stunts (mostly skateboard stuff. some of it was quite impressive but not funny) and the odd attempt at a comedy sketch. this truly is an awful film.

    i so wanted to like it as well having read what the film was about. i liked the idea of exploring our life since the TV has taken over but i just couldn't.

    i wasted about an hour and a half of my life. Please don't make the same mistake i did.

    Garbage

    I enjoy National Lampoon's stuff, and I love all the Jackass movies and TV shows and all that, but this movie was absolute garbage. It was the worst put together and least funny movie I have ever seen and I actually feel insulted that this was made a mainstream movie. I didn't pay for this movie, but it was so bad it makes me want to try and get my money back. The only reason I gave this movie a 1 is because you cannot give zeros. This is by far the worst movie-going experience I have ever had and am extremely disappointed in everyone who played any part in the making of this junk. I drove way out of my way to see this expecting something stupidly fun, but instead I got something stupidly awful. I would say this is the worst film I have ever seen, but to call this a film would be a gross overstatment, all this can be described as is garbage.
