Jackass *: The Movie (by Josh Rabinowitz)
Opens October 18th. Presented by MTV * and Paramount Pictures.
Riding their MTV popularity to its natural conclusion, the Pranksters and atheletes of Jackass have brought the unthinkable to the silver screen: a full length movie called Jackass.
Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera *, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna *, and the host of usual freaks explore new realms of situation comedy with ideas like jumping golf carts, bowling with humans, dropping through ceilings, and other dumb stuff. Beavis and Butthead had their day, and the crew at Jackass are about to have a long continuation of their metaphorical 15 minutes of fame.
Viva La Jackass! Skateboarding, comedy, and Hollywood * may never be the same again... the question is: in a good way, or in a bad way? Either way, the firm impresses the fact that skateboard culture is making a permanent dent in the culture of Americana... if such a thing exists in the first place.
