A good movie

I remember it very well, back in 2000, ‘Jackass’ was at the time a big hit on MTV but, to be honest, it seemed to be so stupid so I pretty much boycotted the damned thing back then. Eventually, it took me more than 20 years to finally watch these movies and you might wonder why I changed my mind. Well, the main reason why was because, back in 2022, ‘Jackass Forever’ was actually hailed as one of the best movies of the year by Indiewire, no less than that. This surprising critical praise really intrigued me and I thought I might as well check this franchise after all. Well, after all these years, I have to admit that I actually enjoyed the damned thing and this sequel worked as well. To be honest, they didn’t take some huge swings creatively speaking compared to the previous installment but, at least, it must have pleased the fans. As far as I was concerned, even if the intro did work this time, the intro from the 1^st installment was much wackier and I wonder if they will ever be able to top that in the following sequels. However, I must have admit that I was actually really impressed by the musical number at the end. Seriously, it was actually well done and a perfect mix of their humor with some classic musical shenanigans. Concerning the skits, it was as usual hit and miss but I have to admit that I was actually laughing much more often than I expected. The only ones which stood because it didn’t like them was the first one involving a snake biting a disguised penis (yeah, seriously…) and the whole elaborate sequence during which one of the guys was disguised as a terrorist and was pranked by a fake taxi driver played by Jay Chandrasekhar. Anyway, to conclude, even if I still don’t think it is really so amazing, I have to admit that the damned thing was actually really funny and I think it is worth a look, at least if you like the genre.
