Just when you thought movies would never be good again and had just about lost hope in society altogether, along comes a “little movie who could” that completely restores your faith in filmmaking and pretty much humanity as a whole. The movie that I am referring to (as if you couldn’t already guess) is of course JACKASS 3D. A glorious ball-buster in the most biblical sense of the term, JACKASS 3D is a hilarious, mile-a-minute movie that literally had my friends and I screaming with laughter.
You know, sometimes I can admittedly get a little high brow with my entertainment choices. Plus I have very strong opinions on what constitutes what’s good and what’s not, but on the other hand I can also go about as low as you go on the totem pole. Sometimes I just want to watch trash. Frankly, I’m not afraid to admit it. Sure, there are stunning performances by actors that will deservedly go down in the record books of my mind; Charlize Theron in MONSTER, Sean Penn in MILK, What’s-Her-Face who plays Regina in MEAN GIRLS. But can someone tell me WHY do these guys not get the credit they deserve? They are comedic geniuses. Johnny Knoxville and his crew utilize and feed off of our most visceral gut responses. Real artists suffer for their art and I don’t give a shit what any know-it-all reviewer says, this shit is art, and man do these guys suffer. Their achievements should not be handled lightly.
These guys came from absolutely nothing and built an empire as an outrageous band of “idiots.” Love them or hate them (with NO in between), they revolutionized a completely new form of comedy. These are no idiots. There is truly nothing funnier than to be sitting in the comfort of your own home safe and sound, or in this case a movie theater, watching other people good-naturedly do stupid, dangerous shit. It forces you to cringe, to gasp, to scream, and to laugh your ass off, which in and of itself is a form of exercise. If you really examine it, we should be thanking these guys for helping America get fit.
It comes as no surprise to me that this movie made over $50 million in its opening weekend, shattering previous October box office records. It is completely well deserved. Despite being a little tiresome after a while this movie delivers so strongly on all cylinders. I laughed, I cried, I think I peed my pants a little. OK, a lot. If you love to be entertained, run to see this movie. And while you’re on your way, hopefully a huge hand will come out of nowhere and smack you when you least expect it, because that is some funny shit. If there’s a bag of flour on the huge hand that explodes all over you, consider yourself even luckier because now you are “antiqued” and it just makes you all the more fancy.
