Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Yes, I'm immature. And I don't care. I cried from laughter more than once.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
i love how the last 4 things i logged on letterboxd were a 50s italian neorealist film, 2 technicolor musicals from the 40s, and a movie where an old johnny knoxville gets his dick stuck in a vending machine.
i'm a film addict, absolutely crazy about cinema.
This was way better than I was expecting. The old man bits were by far my favorite part of JackAss, so I wanted to watch this. I was very skeptical how they would fill an entire movie with that one character, but it actually works pretty well.
You're gonna fix that penguin, bro!
-Asshole who thinks he has authority over strangers
There's a very loose narrative at hand in the film that is just really an excuse to put Johnny Knoxville and 9 year old Jackson Nicoll in situations to shock unsuspecting strangers. Perhaps not for everyone, but I found this shit to be hilarious! I like Knoxville in small doses, and his old grandpa schtick works, but it's Nicoll who is the real star of the film.
He has great comedic timing when working with strangers and I just couldn't get enough of that. He also has a weird comedic chemistry with Knoxville. While the kid pretty much owns the film, Knoxville does have one of…
Johnny Knoxville’s alterego, Irvine Zisman, the sexist and inappropriate octogenarian, gets his own spin-off in this misfiring hidden camera comedy. The Jackass films largely succeeded due to their quick-fire nature and novelty of the different sketches. Unfortunately, taking what worked in short two-minute bursts and extending it to feature length proves problematic as the single joke wears thin rather quickly.
Although Bad Grandpa does have a story, albeit a flimsy one about Zisman taking his grandson across country from Nebraska to North Carolina to be reunited with his feckless father, it retains the episodic structure of Jackass as the odd couple act out a series of inappropriate and gross-out skits in front of an unsuspecting public.
Naturally, some of these…
I love Jackass. I like my insulting humour, even though there are boundaries that this film definitely crosses, and it enjoys doing it. But whenever a show that exploit's people's real life reactions for a laugh, (both for the audience and the people involved as you'll see), I'm liking it. Borat is the King of this, but Bad Grandpa gives him a wedgie and slaps Sacha Baron Cohen on the arse then laughs about it to his face.
Johnny Knoxville is hilarious as Irving Zisman and I must say, rather eloquently at that, he's got fucking balls! This dude comes within inches of getting beaten the shit out of several occasions and he's so damn calm about it, it's hysterical.…
Johnny Knoxville has serious balls doing some of this stuff.
Unfortunately, several scenes take that all too literally.
I don't like Jackass. I consider them to be a bunch of morons who get paid to be a bunch of morons. The main redeeming feature they have is the fact that the seem to be enjoying the hell out of it and that is not something I can find fault with. It's just not for me.
It was with a sigh that I greeted the title of this film when it appeared before me in this sneak preview. I hadn't seen any footage or trailer of this film, but I knew what they had set out to do. My southern neighbours, the Belgians, came up with a brilliant idea for a TV show called Benidorm Bastards in which they…
I just finished watching the Academy Award nominated film, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, who would have ever thought the words Jackass Presents and Academy Award would be in the same sentence. I am not a fan of the Jackass movies at all...so I was shocked that I liked this movie as much as I did. A funny movie with lots of physical comedy...turns out Bad Grandpa is actually Pretty Good grandpa.
a few laughs for sure but i don't like when these types of movies try to add so much narrative. reminded me a bit of the between two ferns movie in that regard although this was at least watchable.
In film studies grad school, we perform deep stylistic analyses on aesthetically challenging works of art.
I haven't really seen that much of Jackass. I know they make some awesome gags, and have been shown some of their pranks, but I never actually watched the show or one of their films.
But if it anything like Bad Grandpa, I think I should.
Having a little plot added to a Jackass film is double edged sword in a way.
It makes all the gags be connected, and not just a bunch of pranks filmed without order or any link.
But at the same time, the plot in Bad Grandpa is rather silly.
After his wife dies, 86-year-old Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) is prepared to finally start living his life.
That is until his daughter hands him his…
Watching all 100 movies from my watchlist - 11/100
Guardians of the children if you're reading this I wanna ride away with you!
Smarter than the Jackass films. Still dumber than any other movie imaginable.
A movie based solely on the Irving Zisman character of Johnny Knoxville didn't really seem like worth making, and it still doesn't. Nevertheless it managed to surpass my low expectations, since a few scenes were actually good. The general feel was like a Jackass version of Borat, which is just much meaner to the people involved. The main reason I watched this was the Oscar nomination it got for best makeup. I don't think these guys need to expect any more nominations anytime soon, even though this one was admittedly deserved.
Hopefully these guys make something good again next, this one is skippable.
Kino drogi na modłę ekipy Jackassa. O dziwo wplecenie fabuły pomiędzy skecze wyszło filmowi na dobre. A sam humor, cóż, albo się go lubi albo nie trawi. Mi się chyba nigdy nie znudzi bo bawi mnie za każdym razem. Jest tu kilka takich scen, przy których dosłownie płaczę ze śmiechu. Trzeba też przyznać, że aktorski duet Knoxville - Nicoll wypada naprawdę wiarygodnie. Wrócę jeszcze nie raz!
PS. Oglądałem wersję extended/unrated.
Uma das melhores comédias insanas que já vi
Sério esse filme é uma comédia muito absurda e muito engraçada
Esse é o tipo de filme que voce ri mais ri de nervoso por causa de algumas piadas e cenas expecíficas desse filme, que são bem engraçadas mais que em certos momentos acabam sendo meio cringe, mais ainda sim muito engraçadas.
johnny knoxville aqui interpreta o avô de Billy, que e muito engraçado o tanto de coisa insana que ele faz nesse filme e muito bom e tem cenas muito marcantes nesse filme com ele.
O Jackson Nicoll Que aqui interpreta o Billy o neto do avô também tá muito engraçado é excelente nesse filme, ele também tem muitas cenas marcantes…
It’s probably the weakest of the Jackass movies (not counting the miserable and fully scripted Action Point), but still a fun thing to throw on TV and turn your brain off to. It gets a little repetitive with the main bit of “this old guy is horny”, and I wish it could’ve had a few more stunts among its pranks. But it’s always fun to see people react to pranks like this (the end credits showing some scenes of revealing it was a prank adds to the fun) and Knoxville and Nicoll’s ability both to stay in character is excellent. Where Borat is hidden camera with a satirical bend, this is just pure hidden camera fun, and it’s hard to turn that down.
