(The upside is that they seem to have lost interest in playing spiteful pranks on the general public.) It's hard to like Jackass these days, but it's impossible to hate it either. As was apparent from their first film, being freed from the shackles of TV censorship brought with it a level of nastiness and vindictiveness that had previously been obscured this Jackass movie dwells unpleasantly on inter-group humiliations and bullying at some length. Stunt follows stunt in rapid succession: you get the painful, the funny, the nauseating and the plain unwatchable chopped together with seemingly no sense of quality control or, indeed, editorial decision-making.

No longer are they the carefree, fresh-faced skate-punks of yore: Knoxville has a respectable acting career and many of the others have their own (universally useless) spin-off TV series.Īnyone with a passing acquaintance with Jackass will know exactly what to expect. Now that Sacha Baron Cohen has raised the bar for reality cinema, is there really any need for another Jackass movie? Surely they've exhausted every method of shooting the human body into a brick wall, or of inducing the vomit reflex? But no, here come the same crew, led by the cackling Johnny Knoxville - looking somewhat exhausted, it has to be said.
