It's been viewed through the lenses of amateurism, performativity, aging/mortality, " transgression, abjection and the economy of white masculinity," coded homosexuality and homoeroticism. It will surprise almost nobody who's read this far that "Jackass" has been the object of poker-faced scholarly and critical study since the moment it appeared on MTV. It is equal parts Buster Keaton-Jackie Chan slapstick extravaganza, WWE-styled spectacle, and " geek trick." Comedians and stunt performers Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy and Sean "Poopies" McInerney, plus junior jackasses like Eric Manaka (of the "Jackass"-adjacent " Action Point") and Rachel Wolfson, and special guest stars, including Eric André and Machine Gun Kelly, all gladly injure and debase themselves under the direction of lead jackass Johnny Knoxville, an unholy fusion of Brad Pitt and Beetlejuice who seems to get as much pleasure from hugging and congratulating his colleagues as he does from zapping them with tasers and dropping buckets of pig semen on their heads. ![]() Therefore, it is with a glad heart that I report that "Jackass Forever" is the deepest example of the template that the "Jackass" TV series and movie franchise devised and perfected. It's unsportsmanlike to penalize a meal for not being a sea bream filet with citrus fruit, peppers, and caramelized ventrèche when it is plainly a hot dog with mustard. This explains why " Au Hasard Balthazar," " The Tree of Life," " Blazing Saddles" and " Raiders of the Lost Ark" all got four stars from Mr. Let's embrace the dictum ( huhr, huhr! He said "dict") beloved by this site's founder: a work should be judged by what it is, and tries to be. The star rating at the top of a review measures how well a movie achieves the goals it appears to have set for itself. Yes, really: four stars for "Jackass Forever," a film in which people are blasted to smithereens in Port-a-Potties, strapped into centrifuges and forced to drink beverages until they vomit, menaced by bears and snakes, stung by scorpions and bees, and bashed in the genitals repeatedly by more individuals and devices than can be cited in detail in the sentence you're currently reading, lest it break the record of 1,288 words set by William Faulkner in "Absalom, Absalom!"
