Sometimes a movie comes along that causes a shift in cinema. Citizen Cane, Pulp Fiction, Toy Story, Easy Rider. These come along at just the right moment with a bold new vision or new way of doing something old. In 2010 Johnny Knoxville and Dickhouse productions released the movie Jack Ass 3D and it was not one of those films. Obviously.
However, it was a very funny albeit disturbing experience. I am not sure why I like these movies or what it says about me, but I have to admit, I think they are pretty hilarious. I don't think they are lasting movies and not something I want to watch over and over but, when the credits rolled my cheeks were sore from laughing. That is cheeks on my face by the way, I am just throwing that out there considering the movie I am talking about.
Jack Ass 3D does not really need a review. You either think these guys are funny or you don't. I cant imagine someone who doesn't enjoy them at all being convinced by a review that they should spend time watching these dudes embarrass, humiliate, injure and prank one another. I didn't see the film in 3D because I can not stand the 3D trend going on right now and don't feel like anything was really lost for me.
If you liked the other two movies this one was on par with them. If you didn't like them or even see them, this one is no different. There is a lot of people getting hit in the crotch, a lot of poop flying, people being injured by animals, ingesting bodily fluids, urinating on each other and a large amount of male nudity. Pretty much it is all very highbrow sophisticated stuff.
There is always one or two bits that make me physically ill when watching these movies. That's saying something right? I would have liked to see this in 3D. I know the 3D trend is ridiculous, but this film understands that. You could definitely tell these guys are getting older. They don't seem to have as much reckless abandon as they used to.
ReplyDeletePretty funny! I enjoyed 80% of it and the other 20 was too gross to watch.
