Hey, I'm Matt Jones and this is the Movie Minute!
Now if this was the movie Jackass 3-D...I would proceed to get hit in the groin, kicked in the mouth, pee’d on, electrocuted, shot, stung or blown up! When Jackass first arrived on the scene, the audience would howl with laughter…but after seeing the 3rd installment, I’m feeling less ha-ha and a little more ho-hum.
The movie in typical fashion was packed with take after take of cringe-inducing antics and jaw-dropping situations that we have come to expect from these screwball misfits...and there in lies the problem. Most of the stunts kind of fell flat on their faces and left me almost embarrassed for the group…the exceptions that had me rolling was the Bar Fight, Duck Hunting, and the Poo Cocktail Supreme.
My favorite innovation was when someone would get punched in the face and they would slow down the camera so you could really see how the body contorts when taking a blow. Steve-O was sober the entire movie, keeping up his sobriety which I applaud him for…but Sean William Scott made a cameo and he looked more beat up and outta shape than all of them. And to top it all off, I had to pay an extra $3.50 for these enormous, greasy 3D goggles, which was actually used like twice throughout the entire movie…clearly a tacked on gimmick to make extra cash.
The biggest shocker of the whole experience though, was when I was writing this at a coffee shop in Hollywood right afterwards and Chris Pontius comes walking in...let’s just say I almost didn’t recognize him cuz he had clothes on…GROSS.
