A Short Cut Movie Review is normally less than 400 words, but in some cases may go slightly over. This is my attempt to keep writing about as many films as I see without getting bogged down with trying to find more to say. They are meant to be brief snapshots of my reaction to a movie without too much depth.
I’m certainly no fan of the entire “Jackass”
entertainment concept. The idea of a bunch of guys basically daring each other
into performing increasingly outlandish stunts and filming them for mass
consumption is just bottom feeder garbage. It is about the lowest form of
entertainment and the emotional equivalent of a monkey throwing feces. But
Johnny Knoxville started doing a little more with the franchise in creating the
old man Irving Zisman character, who was strong enough for a movie of his own. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa is a real movie
and it actually works surprisingly well for a hidden camera prank movie.
