Jackass 3 (2010)

"...Jackass is also a touching ode to male friendship at its most primal.  Dan Kois, Washington Post
"...the same old Jackass antics -- and we wouldn't have it any other way.  Bill Gibron, Filmcritic
"If you can't do something smart, do something right. And Knoxville simply does it right.  Felix Vasquez Jr, Cinema Crazed

Editor's Note The JACKASS pranksters are at it again in this third outing, presented for the first time, in some theaters, in 3D -- an effect that redefines the use of the in-your-face technology. Once again, Johnny Knoxville and his cohorts gather together and dream up new childish ways to make each other -- and their audience -- giggle uncontrollably. Whether it's pummeling one another in their groins or throwing together half-cooked skits that employ everything from costumes, sets, wild animals, and most often, feces, the boys are a wealth of "you shouldn't do this -- we're not even sure if we should" comedy. Jeff Tremaine returns to direct the MTV Films/Paramount Pictures production.

Movieline
"[M]any of the gags in JACKASS 3D show plenty of visual wit, if not brilliance..." 10/15/2010

A.V. Club
"JACKASS 3-D is powered by a shamelessly regressive but infectious adolescent prankishness. Knoxville holds the whole scatological mess together with this irascible charm and leading-man charisma..." 10/15/2010

Rolling Stone
"By using physical comedy out of silent movies and offering up their own flesh, blood and sinew, they invented their own kind of performance art..." 10/14/2010

Washington Post
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] touching ode to male friendship at its most primal....The atmosphere in the world of JACKASS is one of infectious bonhomie." 10/15/2010

Entertainment Weekly
"[Knoxville] may be the purest, most devoted slapstick anarchist in comedy today....JACKASS 3D has the moments you crave, the ones that go beyond standard pain-freak buffoonery to attain a kind of gloriously demented, jaw-dropping daftness." -- Grade: B 10/21/2010

Sight and Sound
"The movie is again a series of gags strung together, sometimes given titles, and they can be as abruptly funny as pratfalls and as cathartically satisfying as an unfolding dare." 12/01/2010

Empire
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he wallops hit harder....The lads really have embraced 3D in a big way..." 11/05/2010

Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "In places, such as the Busby Berkeley-ish opener, the 3D's beautiful, with paintballs exploding in impossible rainbows across naked torsos..." 01/01/2011

Time 7 of 10
Knoxville and his team bring a defiant cheerfulness to their venture; the gang's idiocy is both self-aware and somehow innocent. Their gags have the anachronistic simplicity of pre-CGI stunts, when daredevils risked their lives to make an audience go "Wow!" - Richard Corliss
