As the story goes, the Finnish quartet of "stunt comics" known as the Dudesons (who now enjoy their own American TV series) were abusing themselves on camera long before Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew gained popularity on MTV, and the feature-length Dudesons Movie compiles a year's worth of their most cringe-inducing misadventures in Europe and America. In terms of sheer pain, The Dudesons clearly trump the Jackass boys by a long shot: shotgun blasts are taken to the chest, pub darts are hurled into bare skin, and a complete skeleton's worth of bones are fractured over the course of the film (and one thumb is lost in the course of a berserk bear hunt). Eventually, the Dudesons decide to take their act on the road as part of the rock festival circuit, which leads to a trip to the United States where they wreak unholy hell on the apartment of Jackass alum Steve-O. As with all stunt comedy, there's little room for anything but a polarized attitude towards The Dudesons' antics--you'll either find it hilarious or horrifying, and the extras, which include an additional 20 minutes of mayhem and their guest shot on Bam Margera's Viva La Bam series, probably won't sway your opinion one way or another. --Paul Gaita
