So I was bored last night and decided to see the 11:45pm $4.00 showing of Jackass.
I think Jackass, and the concept behind it is utter crap. Jackass, and its closest relative, backyard wrestling, is a perfect indicator of the state of our society, especially 15-22 year old males. Awww crap, I forgot about Bum Fights...anyway...
Despite all that, Jackass is a guilty pleasure of mine. Now and then they do something downright hilarious. I should go to confessional for this.
The movie was worth $4.00, but not worth the extra cost for snacks (I didn\'t have any). The crowd was probably 65% male - there were more females than I expected. Everyone looked to be 16 or older. Any parent who lets their 14 or under child see this should be beat. By the way, it was a full house, even at 11:45. I was entertained throughout most of it. There were some high and low spots just like the show.
Johnny is the funniest - he has a way about him, especially when dealing with bystanders.
Steve-O is willing to do the worst stuff....except for the...uhhh...toy car.
The guy with the blondish hair and beard is also pretty gutsy.
I was ready to go when it was over. 90 minutes, or whatever, was plenty. Stay around through the credits. I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 4. Even though I was entertained, it was cheap entertainment.
