Advantages: Better than the Series, Unseen footage, Not bleeped and blurred

Disadvantages: Not long enough, Nothing Really

The title was a hard one but i took it from the part in the film where they tell the midget "wee man" to kick himself and he did, this was a funny sketch.
If practical jokes don't make you laugh, then stay away from "Jackass: The Movie." But, if you were a mischievous boy once, then it's tough to keep from chuckling at this movie at least once.

Embarrassed myself about laughing out loud multiple times, I found myself enjoying the movie much more than I ever enjoyed the TV show.

Part of the reason is that a great deal of what they do on the MTV crazy, nutty stunt show is either bleeped or blurred. Now when they put something on their genitals or pull their pants down in public, everyone gets to see. (Not that anyone wants to, really?)

Yet, you feel like you're more along for the ride in this uncensored version of the show, and you're more a part of the crowd. You see what everyone else is seeing, you hear all the swears and you can laugh along with them or gross out with them, too, because it's all there for you to witness.

ALL THERE! And that includes the bloody and brown-stained underwear when they do a bungee-chord wedgie from a tree, and the large "number two" done in a toilet sitting in the middle of a hardware store, and the yellow snow-cone that's eaten after it's urinated on by one of the guys. It includes chunky vomit, bloody cuts and hairy bottoms. It also includes the painful bruises when Johnny Knoxville gets purposely shot in the stomach, and the bloody aftermath of a crocodile nipping at his nipple.

It all seems a bit homo-erotic, this bunch of older guys doing pre-pubescent stunts with their shirts off most of the time, and their pants down a lot of the time, too. How else can one
take stunts where guys are running around in their underwear shooting fireworks out of their butts and tying bottle rockets to the end of their tallywhackers?

One of the stunts that I'm most embarrassed about laughing at is when one of the guys puts a toy car in a condom and then pushes it inside his rectum and then walks to a doctor and explains that he partied too much with his fraternity brothers. The shocked doctor takes X-rays and tells him to "not tell anyone" that he has the toy car up there and sends him on his way.

Another one that still has me chuckling is when the guys are hidden in trees and sound off air horns just as golfers are about to make a crucial swing. A few of the golfers end up putting in their general direction.

Then, there's the stunt when Bam tries to get his mom to say the F-word by putting a live alligator in their kitchen. She does, by the way!

Knoxville, who's the head prankster and is seen in mainstream films such as "Men in Black 2" helped create the idea as a subversive "Big Brother" and their "CKY" videos turned into "Jackass" stunts.

Their cast includes a cute, grungy, disgusting group of guys such as 22-year-old Bam Margera who loves to taunt his parents, Chris Pontius who loves to dance nearly naked as Party Boy, the crazed Steve-O who does most of his stunts unclothed, Dave England who lost a testicle in a snowboarding accident, Ryan Dunn with a spooky Blair-Witch symbol tattooed on his upper right thigh, four-foot-seven Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna who they taunt into kicking himself in the head, Preston Lacy a former trucker and Ehren McGehey, a sweet kid with the nickname "Danger."

Jeff Tremaine is the director and "Being John Malkovich" director Spike Jonze, who also produces, makes a few cameo appearances during the stunts.
Whether or not you join in depends on how much humor
you find in watching the guys take turns giving each other electric shocks to their genital areas; or getting a tattoo aboard a speeding Hummervehicle as it bounces across hilly terrain; or sticking Matchbox cars into bodily orifices and then going to an unsuspecting doctor for an X-ray; or snorting lines of wasabi up their nose through a straw, then trying -- and failing messily -- to keep it down.

There is a lot of waste matter on display in Jackass: The Movie, so much so that even the camera crew occasionally can't help but revisit their lunches. The gang also likes to train their sights on the unsuspecting public, Candid Camera style: The preternaturally patient parents of Jackass team member Bam Margera are awakened in the middle of the night by a bucket of fireworks set off in their bedroom, and later come home to find a 15-foot alligator lounging in their kitchen

No plot, no stars, no script, the stunts include: renting a car, destroying it and bringing it back to the dealer; throwing bowling balls at each other's crotches; running around Japan in panda suits; sharks eating from their bathing suits filled with shrimp; snorting wasabi mustard through their nose; giving themselves paper cuts in the webbing of their fingers and toes and much much more.

The always-flamboyant Rip Taylor whispers an idea at the end for a "Son of Jackass" and after a knowing wink, there's a preview of things to come for their sequel planned for 2063! The only danger about this is not that anyone would be stupid enough to repeat this stunt, but if there really is a sequel, how are they ever going to outdo themselves? I shudder to think!
