It seems improbable that, after a number of seasons on MTV as well as two successful films, Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of fellow Jackasses would still be able to find new ways to make an audience bust out laughing while simultaneously making them squirm in their seats as they watched a new series and stunts and other insane gags unfold in front of them but that was exactly what happened in Jackass 3D. From Steve-O's porta potty slingshot fiasco, the "High Five" practical joke, improper use of super glue, to a human duck hunt, it was impossible to not chuckle uncontrollably at the human carnage which happened on screen.
It is conceivable that Johnny and the guys are slowing down just a bit as they continue to grow older and are not as spry as they once were as Bam, Ryan and all of the rest seemed to take just a little longer to get up after they fell down and the stunts were not as crazy as they once were (but let's face it, how many shots to the crotch than these guys take before they are forever sterile or having any resemblance of a normal life). This film even felt like something of a proper farewell but here's hoping they can find a way to make at least one more movie before they hang up their helments and tasers.
If you are not a fan of Jackass, then odds are, you are going to want to skip this movie but fans of the series will not be disappointed with this sequel.
