Imagine the old Three Stooges. Now, imagine the pain they inflicted on each other was real. Then, add bikes, skateboards, motorbikes, mini-cars, flying dildos, and more and you somewhat have the Jackass crew. But then again, you have to make the attention span for today's young people, so speed it up a bit.

These guys are absolutely brilliant. If you don't walk out of the room, you'll love it. I saw it with three people and one of them got up and left. It's disgusting. It's repulsive. But it's just so funny.

Don't think for a second that this is some great movie where you'll leave the movie pondering great things. Instead, you'll see men as stupid as they can possibly get.

The writers may be geniuses, and the actors themselves are crazy. They really do get hurt. But this crap made them rich.

A lot of scenes were downright nasty like the old guy whose balls were hanging out of his shorts, drooping about three inches. It was funny until the dog started licking them. One of the guys actually ate either horse or cow shit. And you got to see a women in her 80s walk around a public area with nothing but her panties on.

The funniest scenes though ended in human pain, like when the guys rode mini-bikes on a circular ramp. Most of them didn't get enough speed so they fell off before the mini-bikes could complete the loop. It might sound stupid to read, but the execution was hilarious.

All and all, I laughed for 90 minutes. Definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I was thinking through a lot of it "better them than me." 10 hearts out of 10.
