Jackass 3D review

Yes, thats right. I am reviewing Jackass 3D. But you say, how can this movie be reviewed? Its easy, just a bunch of guys getting hurt, pulling pranks on each other, and lots of gross out gags. Well yes, that is what Jackass 3D pretty much is, but at the same time, why not nitpick at it, and dig deeper into it?

Well in the opening credits, the Jackass guys go all out and show that they have come a long way since a low budget, controversial show on MTV. With epic 3D moments with "The Kids are Back" by Twisted Sister playing is hands down awesome. And just sets the mood for the entire film reminding you that, oh yes, Jackass is back.

Obviously if you cant tell from the title, this movie is in 3D, and the opening credits of this film take advantage of this perk in every single frame, giving you a preview of what was to come..sort of.

Jackass 3D pulls out all the stops with the gross out moments, which in a way overwhelm the film. Don't get me wrong, Jackass is all about the gross outs, but in the show and previous films, there was a healthy mix of the gross outs and physical humor. So if you see it, prepare to be grossed out about something..I dont care how strong your stomach is, there are some very disgusting moments in this film.

Aside from the normal skits, pranks, and gross outs you see in a Jackass film, you see 2 different visual components. The 1st is obviously for the 3D. Now, in this age of EVERYONE being in 3D just for the hell of it, Jackass made their movie specifically for 3D, making you feel like you are really there at times. Unfortunatley there are moments in the film where the 3D is absolutley pointless, which was to be expected so you cant really hold them accountable. But the moments in 3D are completely worth it and just add to the laughs.

The second aspect added to the filming of this movie is the heavy use of high speed cameras, which was an ingenious (if not too late) thing to do for the Jackass franchise. You see every hit, every injury and every vomiting inducing moment in ultra slow mo. Which if you think about it, is everyones favorite part of a Jackass skit..so in conclusion of that, expect a lot of Slow-Mo, but get ready to laugh.

The best part about this movie is the fact that the cast and crew send this out to their fans. At the end of the film, they make it clear that they are done with Jackass. No more shows, no more movies, no more MTV takeovers which induce Steve-O to go into rehab.

The end credits roll with outtakes, extra skits and the boys singing "Memories" by Weezer and a new acoustic rendition of "If youre going to be dumb you gotta be tough" and then it hit me..I was sad! A JACKASS movie was making me sad! How? Why? Well, you see on screen that this is it for Jackass..and it sucks. I grew up with those guys..they always made me laugh. Always picked me up when I had a crappy day, and were there to remind me that in life, you need laughter. And thats what the guys always loved about doing Jackass (besides the money). They had fun with their jobs, and became closer as friends. And it completely shows at the end of this film. It was quite a send off.

All in all, if you ever enjoyed Jackass, I highly recommend the film. It made for a very fun night out. It was funny, gross, and just a little bit offensive. And if you dont like Jackass, give it a shot. At the least, it could be fun. And if you hate Jackass, then dont hate on it..some people in this world (like myself) like to laugh..especially when the people getting hurt love to do it for their audience.

MY RATING: 4 out of 5

The film looses one star because the gross out moments did seem like they overwhelmed the film, and overall made the film feel a little rushed at times, all in all, it was a fantastic film, with hilarious moments, a fantastic soundtrack and a great way to wrap up the franchise. RIP Jackass
