Sure, the gang of pranksters thrive off of torturing one another in varying degrees of insanity — but it's weirdly wholesome. They're all working together to create something truly special, the act of pulling off absurd stunts and pranks that are guaranteed to get a laugh out of the audience. They embody that teenage sense of rebellion, as they find fun in doing stupid things simply because they can — and because they're funny. It's genuinely joyful to see them pull off moments like the underwater fart explosion (yes, you read that right). Because as painful as some of the pranks and stunts are, they're all in it together.
On the other side of the screen, "Jackass Forever" is the type of movie that truly unites the audience. Because every time someone slams into the ground after leaping from a ramp, or someone gets hit in the junk for the millionth time — the collective wince and guffaw brings everyone together.
You heard it here first, "Jackass Forever" is one of the most wholesome movies of 2022.
