Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) is an 86 year old grandpa. His wife dies and he's glad. His daughter Kimmie (Georgina Cates) violated parole and she's going to jail. She leaves his grandchild Billy (Jackson Nicoll) with him to take across the country to his dad Chuck Muskie (Greg Harris). That's premise. The real story is that this is a hidden camera movie. They make inappropriate scenes in front of unsuspecting regular folks and film what happens.

The reactions from the regular folks are priceless. This is one part gut busting laughs, and one part seat squirming uncomfortableness. The gags mostly work in one or the other way or best of all both ways. This is the best Jackass movie so far because it is actually written and not just a random series of gags. It is a bit disjointed going from one scene to the next. The cycle of setups and payoffs can feel repetitive. However I haven't laughed this hard this many time since Borat.

This film is disgustingly funny and wrong on so many levels. Grandpa (Johnny Knoxville) is saddled with young Billy (Jackson Nicoll) until Billie's mom (Georgina Cates) gets out of prison. Grandpa opts to pass on the kid to the biological father. This requires a road trip from Lincoln, Nebraska to Raleigh. The trip consists of skits and/or practical jokes. Grandpa did gags that looked like something Willi P. Richardson would do if he was being filmed, while Billy reminded me of the kid in Jimmy Kimmel gags.

Most of the supporting cast played themselves which made me believe some of these may have been actual stunts as the camera quality wasn't good. This is a film for those who enjoy low brow humor.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. Male nudity.

There are some really genius scenes in this and sometimes it feels like a real movie. But most of the time you are getting out of it. It's too obvious that Mr. Jackass himself is trying to get the most out of any situation. What really is great is the young boy. He is truly amazing, even in the scenes where he seems to go too far. The disc will have some extra funny bits, different takes on some of the things in the movie.

But it all feels like this is Jackass mixed with a bit of Borat for good measure. Or maybe not so good measure, it's up to you. The very best bit comes late, but has been paraded in the campaign/trailer for the movie so often, that you might not feel any impact at all. Even if you haven't seen that part of the show (and even if you are not aware that this has become harsh reality even before they started shooting this movie),the movie does feel like patchwork. Funny patchwork, but still not knitted together in a fashion that would make this really excel into a territory where this could be called really good
