Be prepared to laugh, cringe, wince and gag in 'Jackass 3D.' (Paramount)
Still idiotic, still fearless, still seemingly indestructible, still crazy, still sick, still punk, and still funny: those Jackass boys still know how to put on an entertaining show. Dunno how a) they’re still alive and b) they’re still on talking terms with each other. I do, however, know that their shtick is as enjoyable as ever.

Of course there is no reviewing a Jackass film really; you should know by now what you’re letting yourself in for. If their very specific brand of anarchic stunt-based comedy has amused you in the past then this third effort won’t let you down. If you haven’t ever understood what all the fuss has been about, then why would you even bother? You will not enjoy this. Because even in not-eventful 3D the shenanigans here are much of the same, just taken up another notch.

Highlights? Jet plane jetwash, sweatsuit cocktail, miniature volcanic eruption, extreme portaloo and Rocky parts one, two and three. There’s also a wonderful use of slo-mo throughout too, to really get all up there in the details. Necessary? No. Funnier? You betcha.

Be prepared to laugh, cringe, wince and gag in equal measure once more. Any chance of a Jackass 4 then?
