"Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" follows the story of Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and his grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll) as they travels across America to meet Billy's father, whilst getting into hilarious and unimaginable situations along the way.
Ever since I saw the trailer for "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa", I became extremely excited for it's release date. Why? Well, as a fan of the "Jackass" TV series, I had grown to love the fictional character of Irving Zisman, and always wondered whether they would consider the possibility; of an adaptation for the big screen. Thankfully, my wish was granted. However, "JP:BG" is not perfect by any standards. It's story and script are just as weak as two planks of balsa wood. The jokes in the film aren't always strong enough to carry it's weak narrative for it's one-hour, and thirty minutes running time.
Verdict
Despite missing key ingredients, "JP:BG" does include (some, but very few) shining moments, which are surprisingly funny. Part diamond in the rough, but at times quite dire, "JP:BG" is just a piece of throwaway fun.
5 stars out of 10.
