Review of Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013) by Jason R — 08 Oct 2015

Sometimes funny, sometimes tacky, but mostly solid prank comedy. Johnny Knoxville's transformation into Irving is nothing short of remarkable, and he and the kid build a solid, believable rapport. This being the first Jackass movie that isn't about just stupid stunts done by idiots, and having an actual plot and characters, it is not that bad.

Though the notion of the prank comedy has probably run its course, and if you look at the background bystanders, you can see there are a lot more noticing the camera than there used to be.

The jokes are hit and miss, but again the chemistry between the two principle actors is solid, and keeps things going well enough to bring it to its humorous ending.
