As a fan of the MTV show, and of the first two films, I have to say that I had a damn good time watching Jackass 3-D last week (I didn't get ID'd :D), and I have to say it was a very funny movie. For those who are not aware of what Jackass is, it's pretty much a comedy that tries to make you laugh using shock value. It's separated mostly in 3 parts: dangerous stunts, crude stunts and hidden camera pranks usually involving random strangers. For those who weren't sure how much the 3-D is used in this film, I'll give you a small hint: it's used a lot. The Jackass movies are known for their incredible opening and closing sequences, and I can assure you that the 3-D is abused of in all the ways possible in the opening and closing sequences. For the fans, you might want to stay around during the credits, for you will have a special treat.
As for my personal opinion, it's hard to say really anything constructive about this film, because it's hardly a movie. It's a bunch of skits thrown in together in a 95 minute long movie. Just like the first two movies, this comes out as a longer version of the TV show, only with nudity and swearing. Just like Korey said on Spill.com, you can't walk into Jackass 3-D expecting nothing less than excellence, and that's what I did, and I enjoyed it. I have to say some stunts did gross me out, and I have a pretty solid stomach, such as for example ''The Sweat Cocktail'', ''The Apple of my Ass'', and one which involves Steve-O being launched in the air in a portable potty filled with crap. But then again, I can't say I didn't laugh myself silly during this film: All movie long, people in the theatre (and I was pleasantly surprised to see a full auditorium) were laughing and applauding. I found myself laughing out loud to all the stunts, though some of them like the ones mentioned above grossed me out more than they made me laugh. The only problem I can really think of is that some stunts we already saw (either from vol.1, vol.2, vol. 2.5 or the TV series), and while they still make us laugh, the comedic effect is lowered quite a bit
All in all, it's not a movie for everyone, but it almost comes out as a thank you to all the fans for having stuck with these guys for 10 years now. And frankly, the scene with Weezer's ''Memories'' almost brought tears to my eyes: Tears of joy. This is the part we realize the guys really wanted to offer a good time, and where we realize what the guys meant, a huge thank you. And honestly, I just felt like doing a standing ovation. Mission accomplished guys: I hope this is not the last we'll hear of Jackass, but if it is, it was a pleasure to stick around with you guys!
