Jackass 3D

Here’s another easy review to do. If you’re a Jackass fan you’ll see this. If you’re not, you won’t, despite the added attraction(?) of seeing the usual carnage in 3D. The first thing you notice is how much the Jackass crew has aged over the years. Gone are the fresh faces of 2000. However the madness remains, with the usual array of low brow to lower brow stunts and skits coming thick and fast. Whether you think the boys (well, grown men now) should have grown out of this by now is beside the point. They are still obviously having a laugh and the audience, perhaps nostalgically, want to watch them getting up to no good (as the box office return shows). As with the previous films, not all stunts work that well and definitely feel like filler. However, there are a number of gems, including a “jailbreak” through a corridor of tasers and Johnny Knoxville in old man’s make up getting too friendly with his “grand-daughter” much to the horror of innocent bystanders. Does the 3D make much difference? As with most films, not really, but the opening slow-mo scene looks pretty decent. So fans will have some fun, but even then you’ll need a strong stomach for a number of scenes, especially Steve-O’s toilet trip……

The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
Seems cruder than before (am I getting on?!), but still enough laughs for the fans to go home happy. Rating: 6/10.
