Jackass Forever is sad. The target audiences are teenagers and established fans, yet teenagers might not relate to the aging cast and original fans might've outgrown the shtick. Frankly, it's surprising that the Jackass members haven't evolved themselves. Maybe they're normal adults in their personal lives and present characters for the cameras. Still, these grown men must have new career avenues by now. There comes a point when it's not funny to see middle-aged men get seriously injured or play with their genitals for laughs. It's just off-putting that these declining adults are still resorting to demeaning forms of entertainment.


Technically, it's almost unfair to evaluate Jackass Forever because it isn't a movie. Still, this patchwork of exhibitions has been released in theaters, so it deserves the critique. The writing is nonexistent. The imagery has little intention outside of catching the gags in frame. The editing and sound are irrelevant. The music has little contextual relation. And the production design is cheap and amateur. Really, the only effort is in the effects because the stunts are real. However, it's hard to give that much credit, since even those are sloppily executed. Overall, Jackass Forever has a very specific audience and it's fading.

Jackass Forever is well another jackass movie but one which really brings the series together for a film that goes above and beyond the other installments.

There's a real sense of family and comradery throughout the film which really brings it together and the cast of old and new faces really tighten the bond between everyone. Both halves of the cast all have their own moments to shine and they're all equally as hilarious.

Jackass Forever provides perhaps the best opening to a jackass film yet going above and beyond what you expected from the series, and the stunts and gags follow this formula too being some of the funniest of the entire series. The first half of the film is absolutely filled to the brim with a new laugh every single minute and gave me once of the best cinema experiences in a few years.

Unfortunately the film does have something missing without Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn who are both sorely missed in this installment, but quite a nice and touching tribute is given to Dunn in the end credits that cements his legacy in the series.

There's not too much to say about Jackass Forever, it's just another Jackass movie but it absolutely hits the nail on the head with what it's achieving, 20 years later and it still feels as fresh as ever.


8.5/10
