Is there anything to say? At this point, either you are sold or you don’t give a shit.

Here’s a reason not to see this. It’s distributed by Paramount. It’s fully understandable to boycott the movie for this reason alone.

Otherwise, it’s a Jackass movie. It has stupid, painful, embarrassing stunts. Sometimes dangerous stunts. That’s it. Well, not exactly. There is a lot of archival footage, some of which have not been released officially previously, because MTV said no (for very good reasons). Part of the reason that they use so much of this archival material is probably the same reason why this is the last movie: They are getting too old. When you punish your body in this way year after year, it takes a toll. I assume Johnny Knoxville also feels that he can’t just hand this off and that he needs to take part as well. He wants to lead from the front. He does take a pretty significant hit here as well.

Yet, do you really want to pay the price of a full ticket to see these old stunts on the silver screen? I would assume the series is available somewhere already. This movie will probably be available on streaming pretty soon as well.

The best reason to go out and see this is actually the credit sequence in the beginning. They are using a Jamiroquai style moving building and it’s very well done. I kind of loved it. Was that worth the price of a ticket? Probably not. It is probably the best thing they’ve ever done, though. That probably ate a pretty sizable amount of the budget.

Here’s a question: Can you actually feel get emotional with material like this? They don’t try to milk it too much. There’s a quick throwaway mention of them missing Ryan Dunn (who died 15 years ago) and there’s a moment where Knoxville is strapped to a device that will jolt him with electricity if he lies and he is asked whether this is the last movie, and he says yes. Otherwise, they don’t milk it. They do give you plenty of old material, but they don’t overly push it as something sentimental.

Overall, it’s a Jackass movie with some good material and a lot of recycled material. It’s just hard to justify all that old material in a theatrical release, but if you are willing to pay the price of a ticket to see liquidized shit on the big screen, then why not?
