"Jackass 3D" Short Film Review
Jack in the box (Now on DVD)
2 1/2 Stars
Blog exclusive!
The first Jackass movie is still the best entry in the Jackass trilogy, but this third incarnation is still dirty, delicious fun. All the guys are back, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera and of course Johnny Knoxville to deliver some hurt, laughter and gross out moments.
Jackass 3D's use of 3D is decidedly bad. First of all, half the movie isn't even in 3D which is lame especially when you consider the price premium these types of tickets carry. The best the 3D visuals have to offer is the extra rounded stomach of Preston Lacy. Yet not mentioning how gross poop looks in three dimensions would be an injustice to the film's cinematographer. 3D is decidedly better at grossing you out than 2D.
The movie is fast paced. I guess it makes sense that the MTV generation would benefit from watching an MTV film. With numerous stunts, probably numbering 20-something, you will be hard pressed to not laugh (or hurl) at something in the theater. From jet ski jumping to Santa thumping and Grandaddy-Granddaughter make-out sessions if you like the bizarre you'll like Jackass 3D.
The acting (performers may be a better word) if you can call it that, if also great. I hardly doubt their are more daring, dignity defying people in the world than the cast of Jackass 3D. Knoxville is in less stunts then in previous films, probably due to his age, so he acts like a wild cheerleader. But in the stunts he does perform in, its a miracle he didn't break his neck.
So while Jackass may be playing with an old formula, this is one premise that can be continually tweaked and perfected, without fail.
