'Jackass 3D' Review - Better Late than Never

Jackass 3D Starring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Magera, Steve-O, Jason Acuna Directed by Jeff Tremaine Rated R

My first thought, after watching this movie, was "This is a terrible movie to watch right before eating lunch." My second thought was, "How in the world do I write a review about it?" It's not a traditional movie, with a plot and actors playing their roles. It's about a bunch of guys hitting each other in the crotch and having fun on camera.

To start, it was nice seeing Beavis and Butthead on any screen again, even if for only a few minutes. I grew up watching them, and it felt a bit nostalgic seeing those two idiots. However, they get about two minutes of film time, and we immediately jump into Jackass 3D.

If you're at all familar with the Jackass boys, you know they do some pretty dumb stuff. Some of it is fairly clean, and just looks stupid and painful. Some of it is downright gross. And some of it makes you sick.

Some of the cleaner stuff involved a couple of the guys climbing up a 40 foot tree, and having their friends chop down said tree, letting them fall. But then another scene showed a guy in a porta-john being slingshotted up into the air, with it filled with dog crap. And yes, it's in 3D.

Speaking of 3D, it really doesn't add much to the movie. A few things fly at you, but it mostly hits you when they show people throwing up in 3D. And I can't help but feel like putting Jackass in 3D was an excuse for a few guys to go full frontal and shock the audience.

Don't get me wrong, I laughed pretty hard. I just spent as much time cringing and feeling sick as I did laughing. But it's Jackass; chances are, you know what you're getting yourself into. Just don't eat right before going to see it, especially if you go the 3D route.
