Jackass 3D

Johnny Knoxville in "Jackass 3D"

      If you are not an admirer of the flaccid male sex organ, but merely a 3D movie enthusiast; Jackass 3D is not a movie worth your time. As a man with a taste for both, onward to the theater I marched. The movie met one expectation while falling short on the latter. This is not much of a 3D movie, (I really only felt i was watching 3D technology during the intro and outro) but it is definitely a Jackass movie.

     All of your favorite Jackasses are back, some in smaller roles than before, some more prominent. Preston Lacy takes on a larger role (no pun intended) as he fills the screeen (pun intended) more often than in the previous films. But this whale of a man (no pun intended) isn't the only cast member whose screen time has changed. A sober Steveo is seen less frequently than we are used to and even subdued and dare we think, cautious? I am referring to one stunt where Steveo discusses his fears prior to soldiering on. He is still Steveo, after all.

     Fans of the two previous Jackass films and the television series should enjoy the third installment just as much, if not more. It was just as shocking, raunchy and laugh out loud hilarious as anything they have submitted. I felt maybe this one cranked the raunch-o-meter a little higher. There were more penises, I would guess, than in the past and a girl in the theater I was in vomited. The vomit was induced by her watching a man play a trumpet with his ass hole. At least that was my guess. I suppose it could be true that she were merely emulating her heroes on screen, as they threw up many times themselves from various other "stunts".

     In my humble opinion, Jackass 3D was a great time if you are a Jackass fan. I also would say Jackass 2 remains maybe their strongest offering to date. That would be the one I descibe as the most "epic" of the 3. And I don't mean epic like the "WoW" playing fag way, or the beer chugging frat boy way. I mean it the way it is supposed to mean in the fucking english language! I felt they were most conscious of making a "big" movie in the 2nd one. Back to the 3rd movie though, since thats what I am supposed to be writing about. I think the first 20 minutes were non stop laughs, if you're a fan, definitely give it a chance. Don't watch it at midnight in Brooklyn, New York though, that was "epically" annoying. HA.

8/10
