What can one possibly say about Jackass: The Movie? It's the kind of flick that the industry calls "review-proof," meaning it won't matter a lick what critics say about it. Fans of the show should love the movie and will turn out in droves, and those who hate it might want to stay away from theatres for a couple of weeks just to avoid the rabid fans. If you've seen the show, you've seen the movie already. The budget is bigger, and there's plenty of swearing and a lot of male nudity (the girl-to-guy ratio for a film with this amount of male nudity will probably be an all-time low). And there aren't any commercials to help you recover from fits of laughter.
Call me crazy, but which would you rather see: Tom Cruise pretending to be scared, or Steve-O actually terrified (of a large alligator)? Vin Diesel grunting the F-word, or Bam Margera conning his mother into saying it (with a large alligator)? Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit, or Preston Lacy without one? The answers are easy ones, kids.

1:25 - R for dangerous, sometimes extremely crude stunts, language and nudity
