The boys are back and more immature and disgusting than ever. In this third installment of the ultra-popular Jackass series, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, and the rest of the posse return for more pain and mayhem. By now, if you've seen the first two movies you know what to expect. These grown men come up with new and ingenious ways to put their lives at risk, all in the name of good fun and good comedy. The film doesn't cover much new ground, except for a couple of things: first, it's shot in 3D, and second, the cinematography went up a HUGE notch. All jokes and retarded stunts aside, some of the shots - many of which were shot in beautiful HD slow-motion camera - were jaw-droppingly amazing, and (dare I say it) breathtaking. It really was almost TOO good of a quality to be used on such trashiness, but I say almost because it just makes the death-defying hijinks that much more impressive. To be completely honest, these guys still crack me up to no end and I find the sheer stupidity of it all insanely entertaining and hilarious. Except for a few gag-inducing segments that I could've done without - there was one that was so utterly repulsive that most of the cast and crew were reduced to vomiting and I had to block my eyes until it was over - I was giggling like a schoolgirl the entire time. I start to wonder how much longer these guys can keep this up, as many are now either in their 40s or quickly approaching it. But for now, I like to think of these dudes as eternally young and moronic, and willing to do anything for the sake of giving their fans a good laugh.
3 out of 5 stars
