Feb 3, 2022 · 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 ...

Jackass Forever releases in theaters on Feb. 4.
There’s more vomit than you’d expect in Jackass Forever, an early shoo-in for the year’s most wistful and nostalgic comedy. The boys are back for one final plunge on the rollercoaster, with more stunts gone horribly wrong and more pranks gone terribly right, in what feels both like an all-too-infrequent tradition, and one that needs to mercifully come to an end (if only for the safety of its cast). It’s a film that, much like the others in the series, will have you howling with the sort of unrestrained laughter usually reserved for dear friends behind closed doors. That’s what it is, in a way. A reunion with old pals — emphasis on the “old” — where you’re all wiser, but you look back fondly on the dumbest things you’ve ever said or done. It’s a blast, at times literally. A last hurrah in which the Jackass crew has the first and last laugh, as they always have, and as usual, you’re invited to the party.
The MTV show — a hybrid of extreme sports, home video aesthetic, and punk rock sensibility — debuted back in 2000, and since this is now movie number four (or number nine, if you count Bad Grandpa and the various extended compilations), the concept needs little introduction. You’re either along for the ride, or you’re sorely missing out. This time, the anticipation before each ill-advised escapade lasts even longer, as do the reaction shots of shock and uproarious cackling in the aftermath. Everyone is visibly older and more fragile. It all hurts so much more, and goes wrong so much more easily. The payoff is that much higher.

Jackass has a history now, and that history has weight, making it one of the rare franchises you’d wish would go on forever, but the limits of the human body make you wish, even harder, that it would stop right this second. It’s difficult to make viewers wrestle with their nostalgia while they’re crying with laughter and wincing from second-hand agony, but Jackass Forever succeeds at this, even if it doesn’t really mean to.
The series’ history is also a key part of the legacy of cinema, and the crew claims its place in that story without apology. In addition to being a direct descendant of silent stunt comedy, à la Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Jackass has always loved movies, and has always crafted its enormous sequences with various references in mind. This time, that love comes rushing to the fore in the opening scene, which not only pays ridiculous homage to Japanese Kaiju cinema — their most audaciously juvenile hybrid of lowbrow humor and highbrow production value yet — but also functions as a greatest-hits reel for their own stunts throughout the years, hinting at familiar images in newer and bigger permutations, and setting the stage for a trip back in time.
There isn’t a dull moment to be found in Jackass Forever.
There isn’t a dull moment to be found in Jackass Forever. It’s hard to say whether its individual stunts will have the same staying power as anything in its predecessors (in part, because it retreads so much familiar ground), but it’s the most well-oiled movie in the series, moving smoothly from one segment to the next with a perfect balance of pain and hilarity, with just enough recovery time in between. It’s funny in a cathartic way too, because watching it in a theater — if you’re able to do so safely — feels like returning to something so simple and effective that you wonder why more people haven’t perfected the formula. And then it hits you: there’s no formula at all. Jackass Forever isn’t something you can engineer in a boardroom. It’s the kind of film that could only have been made by people who have been friends for decades, and who are so comfortable around one another that they’re willing to trust each other with their lives for their own deranged amusement, and ours.
Jackass is dead. Long live Jackass.
The final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga, Jackass Forever is a hilarious last hurrah for its original crew. An extravagant stunt show filled with more cinematic homages (and more bodily fluids) than ever before, it takes an ill-advised trip down memory lane and raises the stakes in maniacal fashion. Few recent films have been funnie...

The fourth (and hopefully final, for the sake of its cast) Jackass is a nostalgic laugh riot.

Feb 4, 2022 · Jackass Forever is a hilarious, even genuinely touching reunion of America’s most vulgar performance artists. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel for the series or definitively say goodbye to it, nor does it need to — it’s simply enough to remember that some things never get old.
