Jackass:
The Movie
60
I've never been so ashamed after laughing so hard.
How
do you judge a movie like this? It's not a film. It's too
easy. But, um, these guys are snorting wasabi, shooting firecrackers
out of their asses, letting alligators clamp down on their nipples
and stepping into the ring with heavyweights. It may not be art,
but no way is it easy. So I'm judging it on entertainment. The
opening is hilarious. Same with Roller Derby. I couldn't
believe Swimming with Whale Sharks. And I couldn't watch Paper
Cuts. Actually, there was lots I couldn't watch. But hearing the
movie was so dang funny, with all the grunts and groans and screams
of the Jackasses. They're cracking each other up in such an innocent,
exuberant way, it's hard not to giggle.
But,
and I never thought I'd say this: I see why critics are using
the word "irresponsible." Forget the standard "Don't
try this at home" stuff. In spite of all the evidence, these
guys are pretty damn likeable, and it's not too hard to imagine
kids copying them.
Man,
I hate being an adult.
