Movie Notes: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and the gang are back in Jackass 3D, with another set of stunts that are painful to watch, yet extremely funny. It's hard not to get caught up in the joy these guys get out of playing together. And that's the key to this movie--even though Knoxville is 39 here, these are boys playing. The film was shot in 3D--this is no cheap conversion--and it brings you into the action, as when the guys attempt a game of beehive tetherball and the theater itself gets swarmed. Some of the 3D camera operators might not have been ready for Jackass; even one of the veteran cinematographers of the Jackass TV show gets repeatedly ill while he tries to shoot scenes. This film is not for the squeamish when it comes to bodily fluids. The best moments are when one of the guys gets that "How did I get myself into this?" look before attempting a stunt, such as running down a hallway rigged with stun guns and cattle prods. Yes, it's juvenile, and you may have to assure yourself that you still have a brain afterward (if you've read Dostoevsky, remind yourself of that fact), but you can't deny that it's darn funny.
