4/10/2003 - Jackass, The Movie

Having previously only seen one episode of the MTV reality show and having found it mildly amusing due to some imaginative pranks, I went into this film expecting some more of the same or maybe something a bit more daring. What I didn't expect to see was people defecating, throwing up, and lighting bottle rockets from their private parts. Not to speak of eating a "yellow" snow cone.

Watching this movie was possibly the most useless 90 minutes I had spent in my life. It was revolting and pointless, not amusing. It showed these guys acting out every forbidden juvenile fantasy in the book and getting hurt, or throwing up, doing it. But of course getting paid for it too.

Both "The Ring" and "Jackass: The Movie" should have never made it onto cellulide because they failed to do what a movie is supposed to do - entertain.

On the Bright Side of course - redemption came in the form of my most recently acquired DVD A River Runs Through It which I intend on enjoying every delicious minute of.
