There’s not much to say about Jackass 3D if you’re familiar with the series. Growing up, I loved watching cKy and the Jackass videos. The irony is that a decade later, half the stuff they filmed in Jackass 3D, I couldn’t handle. At times I wondered if I should walk out because some of the stuff wasn’t funny at all. I marveled at how the movie was pure stupid and wondered if this is the beginning of the society depicted in Mike Judge’s Idiocracy. It’s obvious that I have grown up (into what my friend Heather calls a “grandpa vagina”), but Johnny Knoxville and crew did their jobs. They made their dumbest movie yet and it pays off big (at times).

Watching this movie in 3-D was less of a delight than say Avatar was since there are flying dildos, human & dog excrement’s splattering everywhere, footage of Bam Margera urinating on cast-mates, a friend blowing a fart bubble, an erupting ”butt volcano” (I will leave this to your imagination), and Chris Pontius swinging his peener as if it were a baseball bat. 

Jackass 3D is recycled material, but it’s still damn funny, so there are plenty of laughs, gags, and some silent moments where you question how much more you can handle. If you’re into watching 80 minutes of people getting hurt and about 15 minutes of the ”epic” events I listed above, then this movie is for you! An advantage of watching Jackass 3D in 3-D rather than 2-D is that our heroes from the nineties, Beavis & Butt-Head introduces the movie.  Some of the 3-D is cool, but you’ve been warned.
